DCS-5635 - Firmware Do's and Don'ts
« on: May 01, 2013, 06:18:16 PM »

Below are some simple rules to follow prior to downloading and installing firmware on your D-Link product and discussing firmware in this forum.

Downloading and Installing Firmware for a D-Link Product

  • Only install firmware downloaded directly from an official D-Link website or FTP site
  • Only install firmware clearly labeled for the specific country/region where you purchased the D-Link product
  • Firmware labeled as worldwide or ww will work for any country/region
  • Firmware downloaded from an official D-Link site that is different from where the D-Link product was purchased may render the D-Link product inoperable and void the warranty
  • Firmware labeled as beta may not be as stable as the prior official release version

Discussing Firmware on the D-Link Forum

  • Posting or discussing the location of beta firmware on official International D-Link sites (i.e. non-U.S.) is strictly prohibited in this forum unless said firmware is labeled as worldwide or ww
  • Posting or discussing the location of firmware on third party sites (i.e. non D-Link) is strictly prohibited in this forum

Why Are there Country-Specific Firmware Versions for the Same D-Link Product?

  • Subtle variations in the manufacturing process from country to country may result in different hardware specifications and different firmware requirements. As such, using firmware not specifically designated for your D-Link product may render the D-Link product inoperable and void the warranty
  • Although D-Link often uses one firmware version for the same D-Link product/model released worldwide, until D-Link U.S. openly posts compatibility information (or labels the firmware as worldwide or ww), please refrain from posting or discussing links to non-US supported firmware in this forum
  • Infringing posts will be removed from this forum
