I picked up a free netgear access point, (WG602 v4) from a friend. I'd really really like to turn this into a wireless bridge to provide internet to my desktop PC.
I cannot seem to get DDWRT to this thing by any means. I've tried the upgrade through the access point's GUI, but it tells me that "the device does not support so old firmware", and that the upgrade has failed. From what I understand I need to use TFTP to flash the DDWRT, but the GUI version fails after many attempts. I'm sure I've got the IP right, the password is left blank as instructed, and have a compatible .bin for the firmware.
What am I doing wrong? Running windows vista 64 bit, but I have access to other machines if there is an issue with the operating system.
