I will be updating dir-885L to firmware 1.20.
But have some few questions:

1. Do I need a paper clip reset while on transitional firmware 1.15?  Or do a one time reset at 1.20?
2. The router is saying new 1.15 firmware available, can I use that instead of manual upload?
3. Can I downgrade from 1.20 to 1.13 just in case it doesnt work?

FurryNutz:
I recommend that you use the on board UI and use IE11 or FF browsers only. Do a factory reset first, then manually send the v1.15 file. Once this is sent and should be processed, go in and send the v1.20 file, after this is completed, go in to the UI and do one more factory reset and set up the router from scratch. Be sure to disable any PC security software and browser plug ins while performing this. Also be LAN cable wired to the router with a PC. Do not perform this over the wireless connection!!!

You can downgrade...

Let us know how it goes.

Upgrade went well.
I followed the dumb "user friendly" GUI instead of manual upload.

1. On GUI, updated from 1.13 to 1.15.  around 3 minutes
2. On GUI, updated from 1.15 to 1.20.  around 3 minutes

All settings are intact. I haven't done reset, all wired/wireless client are working

I did a power down of 885L and all the networking gear/cam/switch and restarted them.
It is running STABLE for 8 hours now.

There is a question in my mind, is the zero day bug really fixed using the GUI automated way?  I think yes but cant really test it.

FurryNutz:
Glad you got it working and the processed worked. I presume you used the update feature in the UI to upgrade?

This not a zero day bug. More like a flaw found in the WPA2 code set for client modes. This only effects wireless running in client, bridge or repeater mode mostly. You'll be fine since it's successfully upgraded.
