Yes.  CeroWRT is their distro.  It is downstream from OpenWRT.  They

It only runs on long-in-the-tooth Netgear routers.  I bought one
several years ago but the descriptions of the releases have let me put
off deploying it up to now.  This may be the best source (I don't
guarantee anything -- check the fineprint yourself):
