I stumbled upon this earlier:

Right, heres the story!

Have a DG834G V3. So I downloaded the DG834G V3 Firmware of that site.

Flashed it using my Main PC, that uses Ethernet. Upgrade didn't get interrupted, Normal box pops up, check the lights. A few of the lights where on so i pressed Ok.

Nothing then happened. I had the Power button lit up, and the 2 connected ethernet lights 1 & 2


Pc was saying limited connectivity, 192.168.0.1 wouldn't work. No internet nothing.

Left it for a while, nothing. Pulled the plug. Looked af it is was booting normally, the tick lit up then went off, then all 1-4 ethernets flashed. Then back to the power button lite and ports 1 &2 nothing else.

Guessing its bricked? Good job i have a backup, just not sure why its done it?
 
The netgear recovery utility for the dg routers was x86 xp only, if you don't have access to that then it's linux. Dg people used to have detailed instructions on how to sort it.
 
Found the recovery utility.

Tried updating the router ith Custom FW that way, but its still doing the same thing :S

Its definately the right FW etc.

Not sure why its not booting? or even allowing me to connect to the router interface

I suppose i can use the recovery utility to try and get back to stock FW.
