The only differences are with amounts of RAM and flash memory. This WNDR3800 article is rather short, as most of the applicable information can already be found on the [[toh:netgear:wndr3700|WNDR3700 wiki page]]. |

 ===== Installation =====
-Please consult ->[[doc:howto:generic.flashing|Installing OpenWrt (generic)]] and additionally the instructions on this page or the one for the [[toh:netgear:WNDR3700]].
+. First, it is need to select OpenWRT firmware, please consult ->[[doc:howto:obtain.firmware]]
-You can utilize the stock firmware's //Firmware Upgrade// page to install OpenWrt.
 This device is supported in Backfire 10.03.1 and above. Manually building OpenWrt is not required. Quickest way is to download a precompiled [[http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/ar71xx/|stable image]], look for wndr3800 factory (SquashFS is recommended):
   * [[http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-wndr3800-squashfs-factory.img|openwrt-ar71xx-wndr3800-squashfs-factory.img]]       21-Dec-2011 01:03             3080325
+You also may try last trunk image:

+. Second, please consult ->[[doc:howto:generic.flashing|Installing OpenWrt (generic)]] and additionally the instructions on this page and/or the one for the [[toh:netgear:WNDR3700]].
+You can utilize the stock firmware's //Firmware Upgrade// page to install OpenWrt.

-==== Gain access to built-in telnet daemon ====
+==== OEM easy installation ====
-Many Netgear routers have telnet support built-in, but gaining access to it requires an extra step of sending a specially formatted payload to the ''telnet daemon'' before it will allow users to log in. Netgear provides the executable called ''telnetenable.exe'' for doing just this. It is only available for the "other OS". However, people not employed by Netgear wrote two alternative Programs that do run under Unix. One is written in C and is under the GPLv2 and the other written in Python and is under the MIT License.
-  * please follow => [[toh:netgear:telnet.console|Unlocking the Netgear Telnet Console]]
+You may install OpenWRT using upgrade firmware of web interface of original firmware.
+* Download a squashfs-factory image file of OpenWRT.
+* Open http://192.168.1.1 in the web brouser.
+* Select an //Administration// page, use firmware file selection button and firmware upgrade button to start firmware upgrade process.
+* Confirm firmwware upgrade to OpenWRT.
+* Wait upload process, firmware upgrade process, additional wait 10 minutes and only next switch off and turn on router.
+* Telnet to 192.168.1.1. You in the [[doc:uci|OpenWRT console]]. Now you may install [[doc:LuCI]] if needed.
+==== OEM installation using the TFTP method ====
+Doing as described in the ->[[toh:netgear:WNDR3700]].
+==== Upgrading OpenWrt ====
+You shoud use a standard upgrade procedure. Please consult with ->[[doc:howto:generic.sysupgrade]].

+==== Ethernet switch configuration (VLAN) ====
+If you want set up some ports to another 802.1Q VLAN, you should known about ethernet port numbers:
+^Port marked in the case|"1"|"2"|"3"|"4"|
+^Port number in the switch configuation|Port 3|Port 2|Port 1|Port 0|
+"Port 5" are CPU port. "Port 4" are connected to CPU's eth1 and it should not be used in your configuration.
+**Please remember**: Port 5 in tagged mode should be included into each VLAN. Otherwize such VLAN can't be routed (will isolated from router).

+===== Notes =====
+==== Gain access to built-in telnet daemon of the original firmware. ====
+Many Netgear routers have telnet support built-in, but gaining access to it requires an extra step of sending a specially formatted payload to the ''telnet daemon'' before it will allow users to log in. Netgear provides the executable called ''telnetenable.exe'' for doing just this. It is only available for the "other OS". However, people not employed by Netgear wrote two alternative Programs that do run under Unix. One is written in C and is under the GPLv2 and the other written in Python and is under the MIT License.
