Title: Firmware for 160Mhz?
Post by: hvgsel on January 27, 2019, 03:13:50 PM

Hi, I am from Holland amd want to replace my DIR-880L.

This router is advertised as having 160Mhz connections. I read here that it does not have it.
I just wanted to buy it to fully exploit my Intel AC 9260.
Any sign of a firmware-update for that?

Weird reason : DFS is holding it up. A good router should just switch down when important DFS-signals are in reach ???.

So no buy for me, as it does not bring me much more than my DIR-880L.

Its a process. I presume the DFS needs to be tested, set and certified first before other factors get setup. 160Mhz isn't main stream yet so not a high priority I presume. Hopefully they will get it going. I'd rather have a good feature that was done right then a rather that was rushed to market and not done well.  ::)

I agree fully, but then D-Link should not market it as such!

@FurryNutz when can we expect a firmware update for this.

Also, why my earlier responses  were deleted

I honestly think at this point D-Link is not going to support it.  ::) I am asking about our new router line (ie DIR-2660) to see if they will get these certified to support 160.

As of now DD-WRT for the DIR-882 does add 160MHz support.

LOL just got a response to my email:

DIR-882 is supposed to support it in the next FW scheduled to be released March 2019.

Am assuming it has been delayed

Title: Re: Firmware for 160Mhz?
Post by: GreenBay42 on March 29, 2019, 08:23:56 AM

Its only been delayed for over a year. Not sure what the hold up is.

Might be my last product, Netgear provide more frequent update/fixes/feature compared to dlink.

I got word from US office that they (Taiwan) have been working on firmware for a while but having some issues. The latest they are working on now seems to be stable and should pass testing (D-link and vendor) in the next week or 2. Once approved, it will need to be sent to the FCC and USA DFS labs for testing/certification. This can take up to 8 weeks. ::)  but at least there seems to be some light at the end of this long long tunnel.

Thanks for quick update, atleast now we know they are doing something and its not abandoned.

Thanks again !!

Post by: GreenBay42 on May 08, 2019, 03:42:37 PM

No problem. It was never abandoned.  Getting new firmware is a big expensive process that most people may not know about/understand, especially when there is certification involved. Lots of hoops....

160Mhz is in v1.20 FW update now.  ;)
