I'm concerned that this is beyond m skill level / outside of my skillset. It appears that I would have to solder on the router PCB, correct? _________________ - My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

You can send me the device and I can install the header and get the developer the info needed; if you want it back after, then we'll need to discuss further in PM. Not sure why it's balking at de-bricking without serial, but I don't have any similar (Netgear) routers in inventory (yet).
Well, I ordered the cable, so I might as well try. It's not bricked, it just won't flash that version via the GUI.
I would solder it myself, but my hands shake badly these days. (Gettin' old ain't for sissies!) I'll see if my wife can hold the wires in place.
I tried again with the old build that is on it. I disabled WAN, added the existing router as the DNS server and gateway, set the SSIDs, yada yada yada. It still shows "connected, no internet" when I connect to it. However, the Belkin N600 does the same thing, so I'm thinking I may have to change something on the C2300, although I'm not sure what. A static route, perhaps? _________________ - My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
Maybe you can get lucky enough to roll back to a working version and then test command line flash to see where it breaks. As already stated, if the usual methods of TFTP / recovery mode / etc. (even nmrpflash) cannot de-brick it to stock or previous trailed firmware image file for 33772. I would avoid the pin short method of recovery, as it can further damage the router. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

It is not bricked. It has a "working" version (the one referenced in the original post) installed.
It just does not connect to the internet. _________________ - My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
