D-Link Wireless Routers for Home and Small Business > DIR-842

Is it possible to fully restore to the stock state after a GPL firmware?

(1/1)

sergz:
Hello,

I would like to experiment a little with the GPL firmware "GPL code: DIR-842 C3 FW 3.14EU" found at https://tsd.dlink.com.tw/, and if it does not work out then restore the official firmware, which can be downloaded from the d-link website. However, at the end of the readme file there is a strange phrase


--- Quote ---2) Once you upgrade to GPL firmware, you will never be able to upgrade back to formal firmware.
--- End quote ---

What does it actually mean and what becomes different after trying another firmware?

FWIW, that GPL firmware corresponds to the currently installed firmware on my router.

I would ask D-Link support about this to see if thats the case. I would also ask them if using the recovery mode will get stock FW back on the router using that method:
