Title: Firmware V 2.06
Post by: Vesh on August 04, 2011, 07:07:40 AM
Latest Firmware Version 02.06 Latest Firmware Date 2011-8-4
Checked today and saw that this is now out but there is no info on what the changes are. Does anyone have any information or know when it will be posted on the site as to what this new version addresses?

Just checked the two sites I know of:
http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/
http://www.dlink.com/
and neither site offers a F/W Ver 2.06 for DIR-825.
Perhaps you are referring to a different router?
This is the DIR-825 forum.

Nope, I have the Dir 825. I got the v 2.06 download from the router itself under the firmware. I haven't found it anywhere else but I wont do anything with it until I know what changes it makes. I have inquired with customer support but they haven't even replied as of yet. If you have the Dir 825 router you can go to your firmware section under tools and check for updates. This is how I came across this.
This is the exact info I got from my router after I checked for the latest update:

I tried your method and I also see a 2.06 but nothing on the website. Mistake maybe?

OK, now we are on the same page.
I always like to see the release notes before running up a new firmware.
Confident D-Link support will figure this out - they always do. Hey, it's why we use the "good stuff" - right Ladies and Gentlemen?
Kudos to Vesh for being observant.

I finally got a reply from Cust Sup. Here is a quote from their response.
"This firmware has not been released yet. Once it becomes official we will have release notes for it. However where did you download the firmware from?"
Just goes to show they don't know squat about their own products. Sort of sad.
So we will just have to wait and see what its all about. Thanks for the confirmation guys. Guess our routers are smarter then Customer Support. ::)

It's always not recommended to update to the latest and greatest anyways. Are you having problems with your router?
Title: Re: Firmware V 2.06
Post by: alfonsoB on August 05, 2011, 04:50:20 PM
Take it easy on 'em Vesh! Just stop and consider how many products they support. Put yourself in their place and imagine what it must be like to keep up with every change on each product. AND the R&D Dept. is constantly adding new ones.
Sheeeesh! It's no job I would want to tackle.

Just went into my D-Link Dir-825 and checked the latest firmware and v2.06 appeared and downloaded too.
[EDIT]
Works flawlessly. IPv6 seems to be enabled by default, but I could be wrong on that.

Yes, through router interface New Firmware Version is avaible (at least for me, too). This is the info:

I'll see when I get home today. I asked DLink about it. Will see if they say anything. ;)

I did get a reply back from C/S in regards to 2.06. They did confirm that it did in fact exist but did not have the info themselves. I was told by the person that if they didn't post anything on the site by this week, they would send me the info about the latest version. In which case if I get it before its on the site, I will share it here for all as well.

Just had my B1 router itself check for FW updates and it reported this: Current Firmware Version : 2.05NA Current Firmware Date : 15, Feb, 2011 Check Online Now for Latest Firmware Version : This firmware is the latest version.
Wonder if I missed it. :-\
Title: Re: Firmware V 2.06
Post by: resolute on August 09, 2011, 09:28:44 PM
This was availible through the update on the router itself, not on the Dlink sight yet. I did download, but will wait for more results before doing the dirty deed. ;D
Title: Re: Firmware V 2.06
Post by: FurryNutz on August 09, 2011, 09:51:18 PM
I recommend leaving the router at it's current FW version on less it's experiencing problems then only after you trouble shoot the problems. Not all FW can fix problems.

v2.06 has been officially posted to the DLink web site for the B version routers only. Type Version Date Firmware 2.06NA 8/11/2011 Revision Info: ¤ Fixed: IPv6 issue. ¤ Added: IPv6 routing table in status.

Firmware .bin File has the same hashes that one I've previously downloaded from routers interface. So, next time will be safe flash with that update firmware detected on router interface.
Greets! :P

Works muct better then the last update thus far, 2.05 was a MAJOR pain to install on my box.
Seems to be a tad better throughput. ;D

I recommend keeping what you have loaded if it works with out any problems.
"If it works, don't fix it!"

Post by: Patrick533 on August 12, 2011, 08:03:52 AM
As Furry said, unless you are technical enough to either trouble shoot or go back to the old firmware, then don't mess with what works.
I have already identified myself to TWC as someone intrested in doing IPV 6 testing and was questioned about my hardware, which was supposedly noted. Heck, they were shocked I already had a Docsis 3/IPV6 ready modem because they are barley rolling out Docsis 3 in my hood and a tech has to come to your house and and install a Docsis 3 modem, why, I have no clue. They remotely tested me and certified me for their fastest speed with no tech visit(40 bucks for the tech visit, NOT).
As I remember it, 2.02 was fairly stable except for IPV6, and it was a BEAR when I went to 2.05. It took me quite some time to get 2.05 working properly when I came from 2.02 :-[ The 2.06 upgrade for me was smooth, it did not even wipe my settings. But IPV6 is still way off for most, so this is something most can wait on if they are not having problems.
My kids and I will beat the heck out of it this weekend and see if there are any major bugs........

Keep us posted Patrick. I might try the update if results are good. My 2.05 router is working well for me. I need to find out if my ISP is going to roll out IPv6. Then you can come visit me and set it up. hehe. ;)

I noticed today they rolled out 2.06 on 8/11 (via FTP anyway). Will wait on this to see reports from others for obvious reasons. I have a DOCSIS 3.0 modem myself so maybe it will be worthwhile when it's proven.
Title: Re: Firmware V 2.06

The only thing it was updated for: Revision Info: ¤ Fixed: IPv6 issue. ¤ Added: IPv6 routing table in status.

Updated to 2.06, had no problems over a week. Seems fairly stable.

Kewl, keep us posted on your experiences if you can. Thank you.

Post by: michaelfletcher on August 28, 2011, 08:32:39 AM
FYI
This firmware fixes an issue with IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels. This would be relevant for anyone who needs to have IPv6 connectivity.
Also, it does not wipe your settings so it is a fairly painless upgrade.

Internet quit working last night in the middle of doing some research.(TWC Los Angeles)
Restarted modem and router, modem acted funny for a minute and then one of the lights on the modem turned from green to blue(it has always been green from what I can remember). The SB6120 modem manual says the blue light means I have bonded download channels.
Did a speed test, 75M x 2M :o Say what? Did another speed test, 76M x 2M. It appears that DOSIS 3.0 is now on in my hood. ;D
So I will say that 2.06 is good to at least 75Mbps down. The downside, moving in 3 weeks and will be stuck with Charter cable......
Also checked for native IPV6, no go(too much to ask for???). I would have been nice to verify that before I move into Charter land!
Still no problems with 2.06, might have to try and downlaod a large file at 75Mbps and see if the Dir-825 overheats.
Title: Re: Firmware V 2.06
Post by: FurryNutz on August 29, 2011, 10:07:58 AM
Ya, the green light usually will remain green until the ISP servers get around to updating the modem and have the modem start bonding. Took mine about 3 days to become bonding. Is that the speed package your paying for? I just upgraded from 10 and 1 to 50 and 2. Love it. Native IPv6 will come from the ISP and I think the SB6120 supports it. ::)
Title: Re: Firmware V 2.06
Post by: Patrick533 on August 29, 2011, 10:37:35 AM
I pay for 2x15 with turbo boost. The turbo used to be about 25-30M and then would slowly go down to 15-20M.
I have not changed anything on my package in months, wonder why they bonded me all of a sudden.
Yeah, that is why I purchased the Dir-825 and the SB6120 at the same time, both IPv6 ready out of the box.
