Beta Firmware 1.20b44 Trashes Router
« on: February 04, 2010, 08:54:58 AM »

During the installation of the 120b444 beta firmware, the user is asked to reboot the router.  After the reboot, the router stops responding entirely.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Thank You,
Dean Leonard

I haven't, call in so we can get someone to check out your router.

I called support who were very helpful.  We tried various troubleshooting steps, but failed to get the router to work.  DLink is RMAing the unit.  Thanks for your help Fatman.  As a word of advice to others, make sure you have a backup router before installing this firmware in case you have the same results.  Thank goodness I did.

D-Link support told me to upgrade my 2 DIR-330s to 1.20. The first went fine however it bricked the 2nd one. D-link support was no help and told me to return it to the seller. Later I was able to install 1.20 by using tftp to 192.168.0.2. The 1.20 firmware not solve the original issues so I returned the 2 to the seller.

What was the original problem and reason for upgrading?

How was the FW upgrade performed?

Please follow this for upgrading FW on DIR series routers:

Good Luck.
