POS router has the single worst software interface on the planet. Tech support is jeets; except now it's out of warranty so they want $100 to talk to "tech support".

I've searched and searched for ways to access the router without success. The only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling the network adapter and reinstalling because I don't see how this has anything to do with the router's software (netgear). I've factory reset it but that's all I've been able to do.

I'd appreciate any help getting access to this stupid thing so I can secure it and change appropriate settings.

Can you flash it with an open source bios?

Well, maybe. Like with OpenWRT? It's worth bricking it to try it, any recommended vids or tutorials?

These will depend on the router model. if its even capable of running them. Look at the back or under it for the model info.

The last router I did, I used the written instructions on the openwrt site. Just be sure to read everything carefully. Even different versions of the same model can have different instructions. And that's assuming it can be flashed in the first place.

so far looks like not, but I'll keep looking.
