The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported > DIR-816L
Chinese to English Language
SUPERDINK:
Purchased a DIR-816L in Shanghai where I currently am based but as I can't read Chinese I'd like to change the language to English. Couldn't find an English language pack to download on Dlink downloads area for the router, is there another way?
FurryNutz:
Link>Welcome!
* What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
* Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
SUPERDINK:
thanks for the reply.
Sticker is also in Chinese but I can see B1 and V2.00(CN) if that helps.
FurryNutz:
Lets go here:
http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/downloads2008detail.asp
Select DIR from the left side drop down menu.
Select 816L from the right side drop down menu.
Download the following file:
DIR-816L B1 v2.03 for WW
Do the following while hard wired LAN connected to the router please:
Use IE or FF to do this.
Disable all browser security add-ons and any PC security SW temporarily.
Factory reset the router using the routers web page option under Tools/System.
Upload the DIR-816L B1 v2.03 for WW .bin file.
After the upload completes and the router comes back to ready, Factory reset the router using the routers web page option under Tools/System once more and then set up from scratch.
The UI should be in English now.
Let us know how it goes...
SUPERDINK:
Didn't work.
I downloaded Firmware: DIR-816L B1 v2.03 for WW the saved file is called: DIR816L_FW203b03.bin
Turned off all antivirus etc.
Using IE I reset to factory default
I uploaded the firmware file using the firmware upgrade section, the router successfully upgraded to B1 v2.03 and restarted with the UI still in chinese.
I reset to factory default again but the UI is still in chinese.
Reset again just in case, still in chinese.
What do you suggest?
