I am newbie at this, please be gentle.
The following is what I have done:
1. dd-wrt.v24_std-wndr3300.chk.
2. Hard reset the router
3. Logged in using 192.186.1.1, click on firmware upgrade
4. Supply the file dd-wrt.v24_std-wndr3300.chk
5. click 'Upload'
6. It gave me a 'Invalid file Name' error message.
I even tried to download the official firmware from netgear.com, and I would get the same error. 
Any thoughts?
Thanks

more problems...
After I flashed it, the green power light keeps on flashing. Which means the flash went bad?
What to do now?

You shouldn't flash the full version of DD-WRT on this router, it's slightly too large for the flash RAM. Use a 'mini' version instead.

dd-wrt.v24_std-wndr3300.chk is too large?
I thought that is the recommended one.

You should really start a new thread, especially since its a different router. Its generally best to start with the trailed build from your model's wiki page. As for failing to flash, make sure the option to reset during the flash is 'Don't Reset', and failing that, try renaming the file to .bin or .trx. I presume you've already carefully read the Peacock announcement.
