Dlink 615 D4 and DD-WRT

[browney]

Hi,


I've just got the above router from virgin media and I'd like to install DD-WRT on it but the D4 Rev isn't listed on DD-WRT.

Is any one running it with the same revision?

I've read about people using DD-WRT on the DIR-615 D4 and the build we now have officially for the D2 was originally based on the build for the DIR-600. If you look in the router database the file is labelled as dir-615d and is not revision number specific anymore. Being as the D4 ships with the same stock firmware as the D2, v1.00VG, I would say the latest version of DD-WRT is also fine to use on the D4. Obviously you install it at your own risk though.

Any particular reason you wish to flash the firmware?

I bricked a motherboard a few years ago, too much tinkering. If it works, leave it, is my motto.

Because I used to have a WRT54G running tomato and I like the ability to see bandwidth graphic etc.

Done as you said and it worked fine.


Only problem is the internet globe icon on the router is orange despite the internet working fine.

The latest build, 14537, fixed this for me on my D2. BrainSlayer finally sorted out the orange front lights and red side light, so now all my front ones are green and the side light is off without having to run any scripts.

I'll update to that soon I think

Hm,

Came home this afternoon and the orange light was back on.

I have a D4 version router and I was told that D2 was the compatible version to use.

I have a D2 and its working brilliantly. The netgear usb adapter VM supplied with the router only ever worked at wireless g (54mbps) speed until I used dd-wrt and now works at around 270 mbps. I havent experienced any noticeable dropouts either.
