Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

I've reverted to build 14311, because the link hanging issue I was having with 14537 got too annoying. I can live with the unusual lights for better performing firmware.

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

well the lights are very minor anyway because you can run a command to turn them off, they only come on reboot or if the wan drops.

I have no link hanging issues but I'm using wired, my laptop over wireless is connecting via my adsl router.

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

I upgraded from build 14311 to 14594 a couple of days ago and am pleased with the results so far. It's performing better than the other builds in between, but I do still get the have-to-click-a-link-more-than-once thing occasionally.

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

Likewise on 14594 now for 48 hours. Stable and no issues over the couple of days, and no having to click a link more than once for me, but I've never had that on any build.

Has anyone tried DD WRT on the D4 version of the 615 router supplied by Virgin?

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

People have reported it working successfully on the DD-WRT forums. Obviously you install it at your own risk though.

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

Once you have upgraded to the DD WRT firmware, do you still need to update using both files dir615d-revb-ddwrt-webflash.bin and dlink-dir615d-factory-webflash.bin, my linksys only needed one file to upgrade with when a new firmware was released so getting a bit confused on why there is two files to download each time.

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

just the ddwrt-webflash after the first time.

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

Thanks for that

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

I have upgraded to 50 Meg yesterday, and upgraded my 615-d4 to dd-wrt rev14594 straight away, but I am unable to achieve 50 Meg over wired.

Has anyone achieved that ?

I have not enabled any other featues, but will use bandwidth shaping/QoS later when basics work.

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

DD-WRT is exhibiting some unusual behaviour: If I'm in the same room as the router or the room directly above the one where the router is I have problems with links opening with one click. When I'm anywhere else it's fine.

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

Hello Everyone.

I am having trouble here. I can do a 30/30/30 (hard) reset and I upload the appropriate factory ddwrt firmware, and the emergency room page says Everything is fine. But after that I cannot access the router at all in order to flash the next file. everytime i enter the routers address IE says 'cannot display the webpage'
I have even tried flashing the official d-link firmware, and exactly the same thing happens.
I know its probably a laymen mistake, but I cant figure out whats going wrong.
Any help would be gladly appreciated, as my girlfriend is getting very angry with me over our poor wifi signal, and I need a bridge!

I am running Vista, flashing a DIR-615 D2 with 'dlink-dir615d-factory-webflash.bin' ddwrt firmware

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

The router IP will have set to 192.168.1.1 so if your on a different subnet on your PC (ie 192.168.2.x) then you won't be able to 'see' it.

Make sure your IP is set correctly (Hopefully you know how to do this)!

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

I set my laptop to a static IP of 192.168.0.2, then I get the emergency room on 192.168.0.1, but after that I cannot log on to 192.168.0.1, I just get 'cannot display this page'
I have tried putting my IP back to automatic, and I have tried changing the gateway and DNS to 192.168.1.1
I have tried doing soft resets and hard resets after flashing, but still the same problem

I have also tried changing my static IP to 192.168.1.2 after flashing

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
 

As Acathla says just check your ip address again, in my case it was a newly assigned address and i assumed it was still on the old ip address. I checked the ipconfig and then realised.
