Everybody, I think the biggest problem of

cause the problem or what combination cause
the problem. That's why we can't get a solution.

Re: DI-624 Firmware update w/ Crash Recovery Step
Might be something to this thermal fault. Not realizing the router came with small feet, I bought self-adhesive rubber feet that raised the DI-624 up about 1/4 inch. That and 2.50 firmware flash and I haven't a reboot in at least 3 weeks.

| It would be really nice if somebody had the patience to log 24 hours worth of router temperature with fw 2.42, and then with 2.50. Ideally, this should be repeated a few times to be confident of the results.
This could certainly tell us if a given version of the firmware causes the router to run hotter...

I never did the firmware upgrades... a lesson I learned about dlink some time ago.
I haven't changed any configs, ports, upgrades, downgrades, or anything on this router since I pulled it out of the box from best buy (I was in a pinch and needed it at 945 that night).
It has been 3 days, the router has been getting hammered since I took the cover off. It hasn't even blinked. I may vent the case and put a fan on it (note - I have not done the heatsinks, but I might!) so I can put the cover back on.
Now - when I refer to "experience" in not upgrading dlink products - I used to have a 614plus (I think that was the model). I left it at a friend's house after networking their place while I was staying there about 6 months ago. I did upgrade the firmware on it, and performance went to shit. It immediately cut all my throuput in half (note - not thermal related), and the signal strength on the wireless just plain blew. I rolled it back and everything was fine. Thank god Dlink keeps old revisions on line. My theory with dlink is that if it aint broke out of the box, don't fix it. Try to roll forward if it is broke, but then be prepared to roll 2 revisions back. How sad is that?
As sad as it is - I still think that dlink is the best quality and bang for the buck when it comes to consumer grade wireless cable/dsl routers. If you want something that is more solid, get ready to bend over and buy some industrial/commercial gear from Cisco or Proxim. |

Well I finally got around to trying this, and indeed it has not rebooted in about 5 days. However, when I got my RMA (this is a C3) it didn't reboot for over a week either.
The only problem right now that UPnP is broken, which makes MSN transfers a pain in the ass.
Also, I had to do this recovery several times before it worked properly. The wifi radio would refuse to enable. I had to use toe 2.50 firmware, the 2.52 would NOT work using these steps. |

Find something : I get the 2.50 firmware (doesn t check with 2.42) and each time the phone ring I see all the light shutdown on my Router(Reset). I get 2 wireless phone (one is 900 MHz & the other is a 2.4 GHz). And like you can imagine, it s the 2.4 GHz that make the router reset. I try many setting, and everytime the phone ring 2 times, the router reset. If I unplugged the 2.4 GHz, no more reset...
I got a friend that live downtown and get a lot o neighborhood. Is router doesn t stop reset because everybody arround get wireless phone ( i suppose 2.4, because my 900 mhz doesn t)
I hope it can help somebody, because it drive crazy before I find it ... |

It s not easy as it seem...I realize my neighborhood also hav this kind of phone, that make my router reset. I'm gonna finish in jail if I go break their evil phone...:).
Anyway, I write to D-Link to get the right thing and they just tell : It s interference, there nothing we can do, stop using your Wireless Phone....ya right!!! I'm wondering if Linksys have the same problem with their router??? What about the 802.11b-g if it doesn t work correctly with phone...
Damm shit...best thing I find is to move the router as far as possible to the phone...but what can I do with the neighborhood???
Thank god that cellular doesn t work on 2.4GHz 
Anyway I m really deceive about D-Link, and maybe Linksys that use Cisco protocol may have less problem with their own shit...so if anybody know something about Linksys, let me know, because I'm ready for change... |

I think I can shed light on the Di0-624 problem. I bought one from Dell just prior to Christmas, and like many others have experiencced the disconnect problem. I upgraded firm ware, replaced a NIC card driver and gone through hell and highwater trying to determine the issue, including moving the router to a cooler spot with fan etc. All but attempting someting with the router's insides - and as with most others, no joy! My ISP is Comcast, and I finally got a tech to my house, and we found that my singal had more than the usual nuber of errors. Traced it to a bad line and splitter, which on replacement produced a clean signal on his diagnostic equipment. This has kept my DI-624 up now for atleast 24 hours, so not sure if this is a final fix, it just may be someting that some of you can look into. On anohte note, after workign with Dell and getting yet a second DI-624 (with the same problems both on firmware 2.42 amd 2.5) before engaging Comcast to check my lines, Dell in attempting to fix my problme gave me a Linksis WRT54GS. Assuming the DI-624 stays up I'm going to do some comparative analysis on the two boxes. If the DI-624 starts disconnecting again, I will be able to see if the Linksys has similar teoubles. But at this point all I can say is maybe the problme on the DI-624 is poor error handling routines. |

Well I just moved to a new house and am on Comcast cable now where before I had SBC DSL.
Well I thought what the he** and I upgraded my 624 C2 from 2.28 to 2.50 and it seems every hour I lose connection for 1 second then it's right back.
My XP and 2k box both show network unplugged then it's gone and internet is ok.
This is the log it shows every time it does this.

1 edit | Yeah I know....I knew I shouldn't have upgraded to 2.50. Before that I never had a issue.
I just tried the Crash Recovery method right now so we shall see what happens.
**Edit
It's done it three times now since my last post. It's worse after the crash recovery method. Actually the last one was in the middle of me hitting the send button. |

|  Well guys I can't believe it but it's true. Take off the damn cover and no more reboots (at least for the last 5 hours). I started downloading some news group articles with firmware 2.50 and then began my reboot hell. It seems once you put a heavy load on the router it begins to reboot like crazy!!!! I upgraded to 2.52 and you know what happened. I came onto this board, read the thermal problem, broke out the screwdriver and look at those articles come in! |

Hmm, everything wa fine and dandy until i flipped the magic switch!
I tried to use MAC-filtering. I thought it would be more secure, but boy, did i get myself in big trouble. The router began disconnecting and rebooting furiously, and has been for the last two weeks, ever since i enabled it. Even when i disabled it, it didnt help.
Had to do a firmware upgrade/restore to default for it to get back to normal.
So DO NOT use mac filtering...  |

Re: DI-624 Firmware update w/ Crash Recovery Step by S
Well I just bought a Zyxel P334WT and am very happy. DLink is RMA'ing me a new 624 should be here today but I am not holding my breath any more.
All the companies Netgear, Linksys and DLink need to get on board with there equipment and fixing. I had no problems with my 624 then i upgraded to 2.5 from 2.28 and all he** broke loose. Dlink's answer downgrade till it works. That's not an acceptable answer. |
