Good afternoon
I've done a bit of research and learned that to revert back to the stock Netgear firmware, I need to have the 'initial release' firmware, usually found in the 'previous' area of the product firmware download page on Netgear's support site.
1.1.0.24 is the first/oldest listed there. However, it doesn't specify if that's initial release or not. Some products on their site say that specifically, while others do not.
I was wondering if there was a way to verify if that's initial release, or if anybody happens to have that firmware or can guide me to it. Netgear won't answer me due to it being an aftermarket purchase.
If TFTP doesn't work, use nmrpflash. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

Thank you to both respondents.
Alozaros... I want to be sure that I'm clear on what you're saying about the GUI thing. It kinda treats like you'd expect any Netgear firmware to be compliant, but then end that sentence mentioning doubts. (?)
As far as why I'm wanting to switch back... Honestly, it has a lot to do with my limited knowledge. There is a feature that DD-WRT may (or may not) have, but the stock firmware makes simple to apply. And that is the ability to broadcast one SSID that both 2g and 5g devices can connect to, and the router does the leg work on dividing the bandwidth.
