| USR 8054 Change to D-Link 624+ Firmware You can use the firmware to Change you USR8054 to D-link DI-624+.
And then update your firmware to v1.18.
My router work fine.

| This sounds interesting. What happens when I upload the D-Link firmware? Do I still access the USR8054 box by the same user/update web page (192.169.123.254), do I still get the same (or similar) firmware update web pages i.e. »192.168.123.254/firmware.htm etc.. I am not familiar with the D-Link stuff, should I spend the next few days reading about D-link before giving it a go. I'm getting desperate so thinking of having a go anyway...
If this doesn't work then I'm sending the USR8054 back to USR so may need to backdate to vers USR1.17 so I cant be accussed of voiding the warranty.
Thanks for any suggestions. |

Yeah, DLink uses 192.168.0.1 as default address for all its routers. Both 624+ and USR8054 came from the same Manufacturer, Global Sun Tech. The difference is firmware and case. |

well it worked but my connection resets itself about every hour 
also i cant flash back to the usr f/w this could be very bad. and the reset button does revert it back either |

Wait, hold on... USRs have a different radio unit... and it still works?
To flash back you may want to try the "error recovery" procedure - hold down the reset button for 10 seconds (?), the router enters into recovery mode. In older units a TFTP server became available, so you could load the firmware file that way. Alternatively, the flash program (if the EXE is provided) can be used, but I think it is just a simple ftp client. |

DLink 624+ (the Europe version) uses the same exact hardware as USR, i.e. it uses TI chip. The US version, which is called DI-624, uses non-TI chipset (from BroadCom to Atheros depending on hardware version). |

i did the 10 second thing it still loads dlink. also i used the dlink crash recovery method that didnt help either. i also held down reset for 40 secs, usr says try that also but no go. its no longer rebooting but i had to disable wireless which sucks cause i really need it. |
|
| I think this is what they meant by "At your own risk..."
keep trying... remember, if you want to go to the USR firmware, you have to follow the DLINK/USR procedure but use the USR firmware. do you not get the FTP port opening on the router? |

Taiwan... hardly in Europe 
Sounds risky, there are two hardware revisions on the taiwanese support site. While their firmware may be a little better (and hopefully has fewer bugs, although continuos rebooting isn't a good sign), it may not be worth losing USR warranty over it just yet. |

what is this ftp procedure, a link would be greatly appreciated |

Hi everybody!
I am experiencing same problems after installing the d-link
624+ firmware on my usr 8054 wireless router.
Can't get back the original firmware.
I may be could live with it , because it works ok on the main computer, internet runs fast, but the problem is i do not get a signal to my wireless usb adapter, located on the second computer, unless there are any special settings,
did anybody have the wireless device working on another computers?
I sent an e-mail to technical support regarding any flashing utility, but still there is no response from them
|

| reply to beos_lin
i did it and got trough tech support and got an RMA but when i shipped it to California they just send it back to me with a note that it was not under warranty anymore, so obviously they test there products before they replace them... oh well of to the store to buy another one.... |
|
| yesterday i finally got a signal on my wireless usb adapter, and it works pretty well, no more frequent reboots
on the router like i experienced before with usr firmware.
By the way, i found out that hard reboot with a regular pen doesn't work, just because the tip of the pen doesn't touch
the button inside,
used an ear tip, held for ten seconds and router rebooted. |
|
| Will, are you now able to get back the old USR firmware on your device? Have it rebooted since hard reset? |
|
| reply to beos_lin
ive done hard reboot several times and i can not get back to the old usr f/w, just reset to dlink everytime. |

The emergency recovery procedure for D-Link devices (713p in this case) can be found here:
»support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?p···0DI-704P
Be aware, however, that you will have to play this by ear with the USR router. Also, you do not have a firmware utility, so after the router reboots, you have to use an ftp client to upload the firmware BIN file to the router. The address will be the same as the gateway IP address you've assigned, which could be either 192.168.0.1, .1.1, .123.254, etc etc etc, depending on what the router defaults to. You're on your own, USR won't help you, and at this point I am not willing to do this to my router just to write up detailed instructions . Good luck. |

i couldn't find any procedure to get back to usr firmware,
still waiting for technical support to e-mail me if there are any utilities available for flashing, but they didn't get to me and probably i won't hear from them. But with d-link firmware i have a good signal and speed, usually 36-54,
and the router never rebooted itself |
|
| Well, so why get back your USR firmware if you have found the solution that US Robotics isn't able to find?:D
Post updates also if your router will start in self-rebooting while using D-Link fw; I hope you can find a solution for restore it. |
|
| they dont gotta reply to ya cause you voided your warranty by upgrading to the dlink firmware.. looks like your SOL. |
