DI-624 Firmware update w/ Crash Recovery Step by Step
By Talon88
If anyone have trouble with your DI-624, Please follow
my instruction step by step (Don't Skip) to update your
router again to make it trouble free. (In Most Case)
Stable FW for DI-624 Rev.C:
v2.50
»support.dlink.com/products/view.···4%5FrevC
v2.44
»www.dlink-intl.com/technical/dri···Document
[Step 1]
Connection Must be with LAN Cable, Not WiFi
[Step 2]
Before Flash, Go to [Tools|System]
press [Restore] To Factory Default Settings First.
[Step 3]
Statically assign an IP address to your computer
IP: 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway & DHCP Server: 192.168.0.1
To Crash Recovery Firmware Update (Must Thru LAN, Not WiFi):
[Step 4]
Unplug the power from the router. KEEP HOLDING the
[Reset] button and Plug the power back,
Continue holding for 12 seconds and then release.
[Step 5]
Open Internet Explorer and browse to 192.168.0.1.
You should now see the Crash Recovery page.
Browse to the location of the firmware on your hard-drive
and click the [Send] button.
[Step 6]
After loading the firmware, perform a "Hard Reset"
by pressing the [Reset] button at least 12 sec.
This ensures that the firmware is locked in.
You should Now see the Normal Router Config Page.
[Step 7]
The default Username is admin and password is blank (nothing).
[Step 8]
Go to [Tools|System] press [Restore] To Factory Default Settings again
[Step 9]
Reboot router & you can now Config you router again.
But, Do not load any "setting Backup" from any
Version Firmware after FW update or you are
asking for trouble.
If you still have problem, you can try set
[Super G Mode] to [Super G no turbo].
Also, you can try to switch to other [channel] like [11]...
Good Luck....!

Talon, does your router have the creeping slowdown problem on static turbo? |

Found out 2 issue may help minimize reboot today.
1: Save Settings
2: Log Setting
For [Save Settings] I found that it is not
really reliable even load Save from same
Firmware version. So, I suggest setup the
router by hand after Setting lost or Hard Reset
or FW update.
For [Log Setting]
I suggest just Check Mark like my Screen Shot.
If you trust me please give it a try,
But don't ask me why because i don't know Why...
These worked with my DI-624-C3.
Please report here with your successful story.
Good Luck

| I tried your method exactly, but using firmware version 2.50 I still get the pae-disconnect message when my wireless computer connects.
Only reason I am keeping this firmware is because it tends to give me better signal quality so I get better speed further from the router. But I do get disconnections when I close the lid on my laptop  |

I think this is the power management problem
of your laptop more than a router problem....

I think that Talon's put his finger on the issue - it's likely to do with the way you have power management configured to respond to your closing the lid. Most laptops let you specify what happens when you close the lid (e.g., sleep, log off, shut down, etc).

| That's not it, I specifically set the Power usage of my wireless card (Intel 2200BG) to Max Power even when on battery. On top that, closing the screen of my laptop only turns off the screen 
My only hypothesis is that the screen causes interference, which seems quite unrealistic since this never happened with 2.42  So it always comes back to the pae-disconnects. I tried your method and I think it would work if the router had messed up config, but this pae-disconnect issue is common to a lot of people so I think it's time to sit and wait for another firmware fix |

| I tried Talon's steps about 3 hours ago using F/W 2.50 and all was going well for about 2 hours, and up until about an hour ago the router has been rebooting every minute and a half to 2 minutes.
It's driving me insane, mainly because I'm an online gamer and I'm constantly dropping out of games.
Anywho, I don't use the wireless portion, although others on my home network do, and when plugged directly into the router I get the little windows bubble that says "Local Area Network Cable Unplugged" and then goes away and I regain connectivity.
I'm confused as to what causes this. Is it the F/W? Or perhaps the large amount of traffic I pull thru the router downloading off of newsgroups/bittorent.. etc? Or is the hardware faulty?
But seems like this happens to alot of people, some seem to solve it and others like me probably never will.
Anyways, keep the possible fixes coming, any input would be much appreciated. Thanks. |

chrisodin,
Try Fixed it to a Channel (Not Auto)
You can try setting [Super G Mode] to
[Super G no turbo].
This Allow you to switch to other [channel] like [11]...
Also, enable [Game Mode]
Report after doing so....!

Re: DI-624 Firmware update w/ Crash Recovery Step by S
I've also had a major rebooting issue ever since getting this thing 6 days ago. Although it's way too soon to know if it's "fixed", I've not had a reboot since setting the WAN side connection to 10Mbps (from Auto 10/100). See this thread. |

Thanks,

| I've been using my DI-624 as an AP, and I've had my fair share of problems. Including this one I just found recently. If I send out a lot of messages over trillian through AIM (over the wireless connect) the router will reboot. Its actually the only repeatable way I've had of making the router reboot.
This happened under no turbo settings as well. So I'm guessing that the router is unable a high volume of traffic going into the router. I'm going to see if I can crash the router by sending multiple large files to a wired computer. |

Re: DI-624 Firmware update w/ Crash Recovery Step
Talon88,
Well I disabled the Super G and selected a different channel (11), and I'm currently in hour 4 and there hasn't been a single reboot. *keeps fingers crossed*
Thanks for the tip, seems to be working great. I'll reply if anything changes. |

Re: DI-624 Firmware update w/ Crash Recovery Step by S
I tried upgrading to the newest F/w version 2.5
After I did that, for some reason I have problems getting into the web interface page of the router (192.168.0.1). Either I can go in for a few minutes, and then it freezes (page not found error), or the page just doesn't load all together. Is this a common problem? Without getting into the web interface I can't input my settings...(security and etc)... |
