You will need to do a firmware recovery. The manual explains the process. Grab a copy here: http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/Netgear/WNR1000/2432

or here:

ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/WNR1000_SM_WW_23Jan09.pdf

Firmware is here: http://support.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9346/~/wnr1000---initial-release-firmware-version-1.0.1.5

To restore your firmware:

Make sure your PC is connected to your router and the router is powered on.
Insert the Resource CD that came with your router into your PC. The CD will automatically start and detect the language you are using on your PC. Select a different language option, if you prefer. If the CD does not automatically start, browse the CD and double-click on .
In the CD’s menu, click Supporting Software, then click Netgear Firmware Recovery Utility, and follow the prompts for the recovery process. Installation of the utility places a NETGEAR Router Recovery shortcut on the desktop.
After firmware recovery is complete, follow the prompts to restore your configuration settings.
