615 Rev A Firmware Question
« on: January 20, 2008, 12:24:05 PM »
Just a quickie....

Thought I read in the Router logs at one point the DIR 615 (Rev A) was running Busy Box.  Is this right????   And I ASSUME there is no way to telnet in even with port 20 wide open???

I am sure a few of you know where I am going with this..... ;D ;D ;D

Any thoughts?

Also why cant I find detailed specs anywhere?? ie. chipset etc....

And lastly did anyone else have allot of trouble getting this router to work as a WDS.  I was finally able to get it to work with 2 Buff. WHR-HP-G54 routers running DD WRT running sp3.

I will cover your points in order:

I wouldn't know what software is running in the firmware, even if I did I would not be able to disseminate that information.  If it is running GPL code that code should be available on http://support.dlink.com/gpl.  Busybox is GPL, thus I infer that this router does not run Busybox.

I know where you are going with this and I suspect it's a dead end, but I always invite people to have fun trying.  Someone who actually works closely with that product would know a lot more about the fruitfulness of such a path.

You aren't finding detailed specs (chipset, etc...) because D-Link does not usually disseminate such information.  I could not provide it to you even if I knew (which again I don't, I work with enterprise equipment hence the avatar)

This device does not support WDS and should not work with lazy WDS (what you got working if you were able to WDS to it), I would find the fact that it worked at all for you lucky.

Sorry for the late reply.  That is however due to a recent problem with my router. 

I believe my router is bricked and for no apparent reason.  Basically what happened is this:

I could not log in via wired connection at all but could with wireless.  This was about a day after restoring router to factory defaults due to constant los of internet connection.  Then in the middle of transferring a ~10Gig file via wired connection to NDAS (Netdisk) Drive it died.  The router has 0 functionality now and nothing seems to bring it back.  The wireless light won't come on only power light works.  I have tried everything and no response at all.

Any thoughts???  and/or can I tftp Factory firmware back in???  (Fingers Crossed)

So far this has been a REAL buggy router.  Yes I updated the firmware w/ correct version.  I really have always liked Dlink and would like to get this thing stable but what a disappointment so far!

If you can't crash recover it, it is bricked. Make sure you tell TS the device is not accessable, cache pages dumped, device hard reset, Computer with Static IP in default range of Router, Lan link light on.

Will the REV A get the same treatment as the REV B such as:

- Passes 802.11n Draft 2.0 WiFi certification.
- Passes WiFi Protected Setup certificaton

?

I want to get a DWA-130 USB adapter however I returned it since it’s completely messed up. I saw the DWA-140 however its a RANGE Booster series and I dont have that plus its expensive. So this DWA-130 No Wi-Fi Certification, No 802.11n draft 2.0 spec, BETA drivers for Windows Vista, Propriety connection software (not Windows), costs as much as the DIR-615 router. I have no hope for this poorly supported low-end DWA-130 wireless usb adapter so the DIR-615 doesn’t really have a good entry level partner to go along with it.

Update, i retract my previous statement about the Rev_A. It is not 2.0 compliant. I apologize for the mis-informaiton. I double checked after making this post and it turns out i was wrong.

So what your saying is - those of us who adopted this router "early" are getting penalized for doing so?

You're not being penalized. The router is as you bought it. I have made a request to PM for consideration on that units behalf.
