Hello,
I recently purchased this router after reading many reviews. I used the router's built in check firmware utility to upgrade the firmware. However, it only upgrades to v1.02 and says that is the latest version. I see there is a v1.03 firmware out though. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Also, what are these security firmware updates? Should I be updating to them as well?
Any other stuff I should know to get my new router setup and working best?
Background: Cable 15mpbs. United States.
Thanks,
-Alan

- Some FW patches are not made available on the update server. So please use the following to update the router>

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
- What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?

I have Cable modem. ISP is Troy Cable @ 15mpbs.
I updated the FW manually to v1.03. It seemed pretty easy. However, when going to the D-Link 890L firmware download site, I noticed it also says there is a security FW patch 1.06.B04. Should I manually update for these security patches as well?
Thanks!

Yes...

Well that didn't go very well.
I updated to security firmware 1.06. It said success, and the internet appears to be working fine across all devices. But...
When I go to my router's homepage 192.168.0.1 all I get is a blank screen. I can no longer log into the router. I have already restarted my computer and powered-off/on the router. Ugh. Any ideas?
***Update*** I can get the interface to work on my iPhone but no Safari browser on OS X Yosemite. I'm going to try to disable add-on's and see if that's the culprit.
***Update 2*** After installing the firmware I needed to clear my browser cached data/cookies. Restart Safari. Now it works again.

:D Glad you got it working. Yes, be sure to clear our any browser caches before and after doing FW updates as well.
Enjoy ;)
