v4
v4 units are labeled on the side of the box, in firmware, & under the router as "WNDR3700v4". If you flash with a factory img file newer than r23503, stock firmware will give a cgi timeout error, use the r23503 factory file to get on DD-WRT first then use the webflash below to be updated to the latest build.
If you have a WNDR3700 v4, download from here following the same flashing steps:
World Wide (WW): ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2014/02-04-2014-r23503/netgear-wndr3700v4/wndr3700v4-factory.img
Web Flash BIN: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2016/11-14-2016-r30880/netgear-wndr3700v4/wndr3700v4-webflash.bin

v1 units are not labeled at all and are just called "WNDR3700".
-
1-A. Download DD-WRT for the WNDR3700 v1 from here depending on the region you purchased your router from:
North America (NA): ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2014/01-10-2014-r23320-fix/netgear-wndr3700/wndr3700-factory_NA.img -

2. Make sure you are connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Then upgrade your firmware through the stock firmware web interface, the process will take a few minutes.
-
Do not interrupt the upgrade process and wait at least 2 minutes after 100% is reached.
-
if you see these your flash is complete and you can now proceed to the 30/30/30 or triple 30 reset (step 4.).
-
Hold the reset button under the router for 30 seconds and do not release it, while still holding the reset button unplug the router and leave it unplugged for 30 more seconds. Still holding the reset button, plug the router back in and wait yet another 30 seconds. Unplug the router again and release the reset button, plug it back in and wait at least 2 minutes, this is critical as the router is building NVRAM settings.
5. Repeat step 4 one final time.
6. Power cycle the router: Unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back in, or use the switch. Installation is now complete. -
To restore from the brick TFTP the stock firmware or a known working build of DD-WRT back from it (-factory.img file).
-
To upgrade to a newer build of DD-WRT, use the web interface and selecting the "wndr3700-webflash.bin" file instead. eg from: [1]
-
Now that DD-WRT is fully installed and NVRAM is cleared, ensure your PC does not have any internal static IP then point your browser to 192.168.1.1, this is the DD-WRT default IP and can be changed to any IP you like. You should be at the username and password screen, set them accordingly then proceed to setting up your new DD-WRT WNDR3700.
-
If you try to install DD-WRT on v1 with initial factory firmware (1.0.4.31NA), the upload will fail with "Invalid file name!" Work-around for this problem is to first upgrade to a later version of factory firmware (e.g., 1.0.7.98NA) before installing DD-WRT.

You should not have to restore to defaults just from upgrading builds
