Instructions to load 1.05 firmware:
METHOD 1:You will need a wireless computer or device with a web browser (do NOT use chrome or Edge, or use any mydlink apps):
1. Reset the camera. Put a paperclip in the reset hole, hold for about 10 seconds and release (this will remove the camera from your mydlink account).
2. Download firmware version 1.05 -->
ftp://FTP2.DLINK.COM/PRODUCTS/DCS-936L/REVA/DCS-936L_REVA_FIRMWARE_v1.05.07.zip. Unzip the .BIN file (remember the location).
3. On your computer or device, make sure your IPv4 settings are set to DHCP. If you statically assigned an IP, change to dhcp.
4. Once the camera is done resetting, open the Wi-Fi settings on your computer/device and connect to the wireless network (SSID) listed on the camera label. Enter the WI-Fi password also listed. The SSID should look like DCS-936L-XXXX (XXXX is the last four characters of the DCS-936L MAC id).
5. Once you connect, open a web browser and go to
http://10.255.255.1. You should now be connected to the camera's web UI.
6. The username is admin and leave the password blank.
7. Go to Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade.
8. Click Browse and select the .BIN file from step 2.
9. Click Upload. Wait about 2-3 minutes. Look for the "upgrade successful" message.
10. Once completed, close your browser and power cycle the camera. Unplug the power for about 5 seconds and then plug back in.
11. You can now setup your camera using the mydlink lite or mydlink app (or web GUI).
METHOD 2You do not have to reset the camera for this method.
1. Change the wireless security/encryption settings on your router or access point to WPA2 (AES + TKIP). AES only is the issue with this firmware so it will not work. You can also change to WPA (TKIP). This is temporary and you may lose connectivity to your other devices.
2. Log in to the camera's web UI and follow the steps 2, 7-9 from Method 1.
3. Once completed, you can change the router settings back to WPA2 (AES only) and then press the WPS button on your router and then the camera. Wait 2 minutes and the LED on the front of the camera should be solid green.
