It's got a big BETA warning so they are not responsible for it trashing your router.... Has anyone tried it? 
Was it only to fix this: »Remotely Exploitable Vulnerability In All D-Link Gateways ? |

Want to try, but the Config.bin setting file of the last few version is not compatible with this version. Back to v2.71B10 again....!
Anyone tried please post feed back....!

 1 edit | reply to peter_m I pulled out the old 624 yesterday just to test this firmware... I gave up on it because of the random reboots with all previous firmwares. I've only used it with one PC so far (don't want the whole house to kill me if the internet gets flaky), but it hasn't rebooted yet. Running with WEP and WMM and no superg. Maybe after all these years, they got it right?? The menus are also cleaner (no html errors or spacing where it shouldn't be).
F/W = 2.75, Build:0002 Date = Thu, 29 Jun 2006 CPU BSP: ar531x_wmm, 4.0.0.58, Apr, 25, 2006, build 0011 DRIVER: 1.0.0.0126, Jun, 28, 2006, build 0126 STACK: 1.0.0.1692, Jun, 27, 2006, Build 1692 AR5 WLAN MAC = ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff AR5 F/W = ar531x_wmm, 4.1.2.56, 12:00, 28 Jun, 2006, Build 1083 AR5 Domain = 0x10, FCC1_FCCA AR5 SSID = adlkjiosd Watch Dog = 1 Restore Default = 0 Checksum = 0x06332fe4
As you can see, everything is at least a half year newer than the previous firmware... it's definitely better than anything else before it, give it a try.
-- I just tested and the exploit is now gone. Jumpstart is gone (thank God). Automatic NTP appears to want a customized server (time.windows.com worked fine). Default SSID is now dlink. It's like an updated 2.59 firmware more or less (wmm on wireless page, no jumpstart, ddns works, more stable). |

 peter_mPremium join:2005-07-13 Canada, QC 2 edits | reply to effortless Any idea if the Intel and Broadcom client problems of the 2.70 firmware was fixed?
Can we now disable UPnP as well? |

At the very least, reset the router to defaults. -- M$ WinXP Pro SP2 + WPA2 D-Link DI-624 revC3 Fw 2.71b11 D-Link DWL-G520 revB3 D-Link DWL-G650 revB5 NETGEAR WGT624v2 Fw 4.2.10 NETGEAR WG511T NETGEAR WG311T |

 | reply to peter_m said by peter_m:Any idea if the Intel and Broadcom client problems of the 2.70 firmware was fixed? Can we now disable UPnP as well? My Intel 2915ABG with driver package v10.1.1.3 connects fine using WPA or WPA2 (both with AES; untested with TKIP but I assume that works fine).
It seems the WPA2-Auto mode is no longer and option...and it doesn't work as a hidden feature of WPA2. The clients need to support WPA2 if you have that selected. Before with WPA2-Auto you could connect using WPA, but maybe that was causing the problems I had.
I'll have to disconnect my laptop for a few days to see if my WPA2 connection problems resurface. If you don't recall, after like 2+ days of not using the wireless, my laptop would authenticate, but would never get a DHCP IP address unless I manually rebooted the router.
Also I haven't disabled UPnP yet. -- M$ WinXP Pro SP2 + WPA2 D-Link DI-624 revC3 Fw 2.71b11 D-Link DWL-G520 revB3 D-Link DWL-G650 revB5 NETGEAR WGT624v2 Fw 4.2.10 NETGEAR WG511T NETGEAR WG311T |

However, version 1.7.95 of the Connection Monitor seems to have a problem with it...

 | The Connection monitor is working correctly, I didn't set the correct P/W which was wiped out by the flash.
The flash is NOT stable for me. I've been having constant reboots. I'm suspect about some settings, under TOOLS, MISC. I've got
========= Block WAN Ping Disabled
UPNP Settings Disabled Gaming Mode Disabled VPN Pass-Through PPTP Disabled IPSec Disabled Multicast Streams Enabled ==========
Don't use VPN so I'm pretty sure the last 2 shouldn't be an issue.
I have the DNS Relay on, and that should be I think?
I didn't check what I had before I flashed however, so it could be different.
I'm hard wired right now, and these are the settings for Wireless

Not only that, I now find some 'real' problems.
Although there are 3 computers on the network, only 2 are usually on. Mine and my wifes. I usually turn mine on first as I'm up earlier. Last night she turned hers on while mine was off andleft hers on and I couldn't get connected this morning. Why? Because since I use FTP and NETMEETING occasionally, I've set my network connection to always be 192.168.0.100. Hers was DHCP, whatever it gets. We hit a conflict as hers was on overnight. Not a problem, I was able to set hers to be 192.168.0.101 and I can get reconnected. However, the ROUTER doesn't see me at all? I noticed this prior to today with the new flash firmware, as it showed my name as UNKNOWN but I did see the MAC address clone and set it to me, but didn't give it much though. On the HOME, DHCP page only her system shows now?

Suggestions? I do feel this firmware IS FASTER, but it is annoying. With the older version I had the three machines set up to different IP addresses by MAC address. This version doesn't seem to see my computer's MAC address as IRVS but it was showing as UNKNOWN. Today, even that doesn't show, only LARAINEP4 is available? Even then, LARAINEP4 is listed as my IP address even though it has a different one? I released and renewed the DHCP lease and that changed in the log. On the HOME, DHCP tag I did APPLY and it changed the data,

However, I still do NOT show? I can PING and it works and resolves addresses, so does TRACERT? Why don't I show in the list to assign IP addresses?
Distressing to say the least? I've enabled all the LOG settings, maybe this will show something?
Anyone else see something similar? -- Irv Spalten |
|
 | This seems to be getting worse now. I decided after seeing many DROPPED PACKETS in the log after enabling all options to do a RESET to factory default settings via the TOOLS, SYSTEM MENU.
Ah hah! Both computer MAC Addresses now show with UNKNOWN as the name. Cloned LARAINEP4 and replaced UNKNOWN with it and pressed APPLY. That took, but IRVS (my machine) disappeared from the DHCP list...
Also, in the LOG see these...

I can't find any reason for this? Nothing on ADVANCED, FILTERS, FIREWALL, or VIRTUAL SERVER seems to be the cause of this blocked. My system firewall doesn't report anything wrong either? Where are these set? -- Irv Spalten |
