if you could create a modified version of the stock firmware that opens up Redboot over Ethernet or leads to this(see above link). I think thats a big step to openwrt/dd-wrt on this router.

I discovered Netgear has a tool chain for working with the router & Source code is available for those who wish to tinker with it. I think the tool chain works best with Fedora. Here is a few links that might be useful.
Look at page 89 of the second page it says port 80 http is left open by default on the router so there may be a way to flash over http.
Since you are able to open both port 23 & port 22 you could also flash over those ports. I am going to work on flashing the router with new firmware to see how it all works out.
The second web page has source code downloads & a tool chain for working with the WGT624 v4. Anyone wishing to check it out can

You asked for input as to what needs to be done next. I think access to Redboot would be a step forward so we have access without soldering a jtag/serial connection.

So i think that Redboot needs its config altering to include an IP address so connection over telnet is possible.

I don’t think this helps specifically but i think it at the very least points in the right direction
