As mentioned on the forum, this is probably the kernel size issue:

https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/dm200#fix_u-boot_configuration_to_support_larger_kernels

I've tried to solve this in openwrt before by introducing a build with a smaller kernel, but this was rejected (for good reasons):

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1770

The suggested approach of adding an extra bootloader stage would be good, but it's quite a bit of work to put in for a device which is no longer being produced, especially when it's so quite easy to work around.

I think the best fix for this is better documentation; perhaps this should be mentioned in the release notes?
