Title: Custom Firmware Rev B1
Post by: hocahoon on June 06, 2012, 08:43:51 AM

Has anyone managed to flash a DIR-601 Rev B1 with any of the custom firmwares out there?  I've tried all of them this morning and haven't had any luck.  I set the router to recovery mode and tried openwrt, dd-wrt, tomato, and gargoyle.  I tried with chrome, firefox, ultra simple web browser, and ie 8.  Every attempt resulted in "Upgrade Failed".  I know Rev A1 is supported by DD-WRT, just sucks newegg sent me a B1.  Looks like several other routers run similar hardware, so it's got to be doable.  Just praying maybe someone has done it, thanks in advance!

I would refer you to the WRT and 3rd party FW web sites regarding what they support and have tried. It's possible that the Rev B is too new and nobody has yet released any 3rd party FW due to they might still be working on it. It's also possible that Rev B may not support 3rd Party FW.

Yeah I've been all over every 3rd party website and forum I can find, haven't had any luck whatsoever.

I would presume the Rev B is just too new right now. It's not even on any Dlink web sites I can find right now.  :-\

How long has the B1 been out approximately?  I notice I can't find even the Dlink firmware for the B1.

Probably in the past 3 months best guess.  :-\
