D-Link DIR-655 :: Can't Revert Or Reset After 1.35NA
May 12, 2011
So, after everyone was raving about the 1.35NA version, I downloaded it. As I always do, I disabled my wireless NIC and connected an RJ-45. I saved my config to a .gws file. I uploaded the new firmware. When I went to reload my settings file, it said it was not a valid file. I tried multiple times. I even tried earlier versions of saved config files. Same thing.
So, I figured I'd revert to the 1.34NA firmware it was previously on. It wouldn't take it. So, I used the router config "system" page and chose "restore factory defaults". It didn't work. It still had the 1.35NA. So, I used the router's reset button. I held it in for 10 seconds, saw the system lights all blink in unison. I checked the config page and it was still on 1.35NA.

I have just updated myDIR-655 A4 to firmware 1.35NA by the procedure: save config > upload firmware > load config.However after upgrading, my admin page now logout after every ~10 sec of inactivity.I have tried the method where to view the admin page without a style, to be able to set the timeout period, from 5 mins to 3, 8 and 10 mins, but no matter what I set, it still logs me out after ~10 sec.

i just thought i would try 1.35na firmware and i decided i wanted to go back to 1.33na, well you cant BE FOREWARNED.
i don't know what is the big deal about stopping you from downgrading your firmware that they lock you out of it. it never used to be a problem, pretty sure i could downgrade from 1.34na to other 1.3 firmware.
the reason for allowing people to downgrade is incase the new firmware does not work properlly. not allowing your customers to do this is just asking for trouble not to mention alienating your customers.
at work we downgrade firmware to the firmware that passed our quality tests, it also makes it easier to support them when they are all the same.
1.35 works well so i dont have to buy another router. if it doesn't you can be sure it wont be another dlink thats for sure.

I tried updating my firmware of my DIR-655 from 1.34NA to 1.35NA (Hardware Version: A1/A2).
However, I found something strange while updating the firmware, that made me stop, in order to ask the question.
Previously, when I did an update, I would browse for the location, and put it in, and it would allow me to update from that location.
Now, it will allow it, but when I select to update from the desktop (C:usersderickdesktop),
it comes up with another location (C:fakepath) for the .bin file.

Is it possible to go back to FW 1.34NA from 1.35NA ? I tried all normal methods and got poo-poo'd by the router...

I purchased a DIR-655 (A4) a few weeks ago, and was encountering a problem. I immediately upgraded to 1.35NA after I bought it. First, the actual problem: With WMM enabled, my internet speeds are very inconsistent. By that, I mean it will fluctuate between full ISP speed and less than half the speed. A few seconds at full, a few seconds at half or less, and so on. Well, when I disable WMM, with everything else the same, the internet speeds suddenly become consistently fast at full speed, but PC-to-PC (LAN-to-LAN) wireless transfers slow down considerably. So no matter what I do I get a negative result.
Thus, I figured I would try downgrading the firmware to 1.32NA, 1.33NA, or 1.34NA, as I read that it is not possible to downgrade directly to 1.2x. I thought I would simply troubleshoot the problem myself. Unfortunately, no matter which firmware I try, except 1.35NA, it gives me a paragraph explanation; something like "This file was either not intended for this router, or it is corrupt. Your router will not be programmed." It did allow a reflash of 1.35NA, though. I downloaded multiple firmwares directly from the D-Link ftp multiple times, using a different router, so the files should not be corrupt.
Is it simply not possible to downgrade once you flash 1.35NA? For the record, I also tried a few of the workarounds I found on the internet: (1) do a hard reset by holding in the reset button and cycling power for 30 secs. (2) I tried some firmware directly from the German FTP which was supposed to allow a downgrade, but still got the same error as above. (3) I also tried some Russian firmware and it didn't work either. I was using a hardwired connection to the router during all attempts to flash.

I have a DIR-655 rev A4 with firmware 1.35NA.I read [URL] 5 which stated that the SECURESPOT feature was removed as of firmware 1.35NA but since upgrading the router to 1.35NA I find the following two log entries mentioning securespot being initiated:
[INFO] Sat Jan 22 21:01:21 2011 Initiating securespot services.
[INFO] Sat Jan 22 21:01:21 2011 Allocating securespot services.
I will mention, before upgrading to 1.35NA I was running the stock 1.21 firmware that shipped with this router. Prior to updating to 1.35NA I had taken a backup of the router settings and after the firmware update was applied I restored this settings backup. Could that be the reason this log entry is showing up? It makes me think securespot is not really removed as is claimed in the release notes for this firmware.Can anyone else with a DIR-655 A4 w/firmware 1.35NA confirm the above two log entries mentioning securespot appear in the log (assuming ALL log settings are turned on) when your router is rebooted?

I've been using the web filter with no problem with my A3/1.33NA router until I upgraded to 1.35 last week. After the upgrade, i did a hard reset and re-entered the websites manually from scratch to the DENY list. I didn't even reuse the saved config file. And now the router no longer blocks any of the websites in the webfilter page even when i selected the ALLOW option.

I recently upgraded my DIR-655, H/W Version A3 from 1.21 w/o SecureSpot to 1.35NA. My understanding this that this version isn't supposed to have any SecureSpot support. However, whenever the router is rebooted, the logs contain an entry that reads:
Bsecure remote access enabled on port 8098.

Few days ago, I updated the firmware of my router to 1.35NA and everything seemed to be working fine at first. After a while though, I noticed my Nexus One phone wasn't getting internet through WiFi anymore. It is connected to WiFi still, and it can ping the other devices on the network but it won't connect to the web. I have a Xoom tablet connected to WiFi as well and it is getting access to the web, though it seems to drop web access from time to time too, even before the firmware update. My phone always had a connection to the web through WiFi before the update. The two PCs that have a wired connection work fine. In the router logs, I also noticed that "UPnP renew entry 255.255.255.255 <-> ... UDP timeout:0 'Teredo'" being spammed over and over since the update, which I read has something to do with IPv6?

I would upgrade the firmware before deciding to replace router with a new one. I noticed there have been several updates to the firmware since I originally installed the router with the current available firmware version of 1.35NA.

For those of you foolish enough to upgrade to your firmware to 1.35NA, only to find that all your wireless clients are intermittently dropped randomly at the same time, read on.At the time of this simultaneous drop, the logs will tell you that the clients were "disconnected due to deauthorisation" or some such (precise wording eludes me, has not occurred for a while, which is a good thing!). The clients are then quickly "authorised", but the movie you were streaming to your living room has already been interrupted and all your family members have gone for an unexpected toilet / snack break. Needless to say, the movie is ruined. Playing/hosting online games is an exercise in slowly pulling out all your remaining hair folicles. A random 20s delay when surfing the web is also fun. The list goes on.
A quick glance at the forum suggests this is a common problem, with the only reproducible solution to downgrade your firmware, perhaps all the way to 1.21.Get this though, you cannot downgrade 1.35NA by any means known to us internet-using, neanderthal-descendant primates (yes, your ancestor interbred with them). All workarounds to downgrade the firmware currently do not work for the new firmware.Why this is not suggested more often on these forums, I cannot fathom. There are a few threads that end like this though: "Oh, switched to WPS and the problem went away.Of course, if your wireless clients do not support WPS, then, um...facepalm yourself again. Only one of them has to though, the rest non-WPS clients you can copy paste the extremely long password to.Not so important settings: (changing these will do nothing to alleviate the drops)
Now that I have provided you with the meaning to life, the universe, and everything (42, I mean WPS), enjoy "normal" wireless behaviour again. OMG, I can actually surf the internet, torrent, play games, stream movies again.Some far more knowledgeable person might speculate as to the reason why this is so...actually, I will start the useless speculation. There must have been a security issue, that was remedied with the more recent 1.3xx firmwares. At the same time, constant authorisation checks were added. The deauthorisation/ authorisation cycle is snappy and unnoticeable with WPS, yet horrible without WPS.

For some reason I can't get Access Control/Webaccess Filters working on my Dir-655 w/ 1.35NA. I've tried it with MAC and IP Address without any success. I've also enabled/disabled/enabled DNS Relay, recreated the rules, recreated the filters, etc. Nothing.

I had something strange happen to my WRVS440N router yesterday. Our network had crashed for some reason. So I attempted to log into the device to see what was wrong and I was surprised to discover that all of the settings including user name and password had reverted back to factory default.
1. What are all of the possible scenarios that would cause this to happen?
2.Would disconnecting power in the middle of a boot up sequence cause the router to revert to factory settings?

I have DIR-655, 1.33NA. Recently, I noticed the clock in the router was off, so I wanted to correct it. Each and every time I go through the steps to reset the clock, using time server or clone computer time, or manual reset, after the save settings and reboot of the router, i find the router still displays the wrong time, and frequently reverts itself to a time on Feb 22, 2012. Same problem for trying to reset the DST settings, turning automatic time from server on and off, changing the time server polled. Additionally, I have forced the router to factory settings and rebuilt all of my configuration no less than 4 times.
So, since I recently had to trade out the cable modem because Cablevision fried it with their 'system upgrade', I'm also wondering if the same shenanigans also damaged the router.

I have a WBR-1310 D-link and was in setup this morning trying to fix my password cause the old one stopped working. Somehow I changed the password and no longer have access to the settings to change it to one that I can use to log on with my other wireless devices!!! Is there a way I can reset the whole thing? I mean something that makes sense to someone who is new to wireless internetting?

I initially set it up for static IP, which was a mistake for reasons I probably don't need to go into here. Having recognized my mistake, I've been trying to hard reset it so I can convince it to acquire its IP address by DHCP, but each time I reset it and return to the "First, select your camera" screen in the setup wizard, I'm faced with a single choice: the device as I first set it up for static IP. I don't seem to be able to convince it to give up that erroneous static IP address.I have read the FAQ section on hard reset. I've held down the reset button for a lot longer than 6 seconds while the cam was connected to power and ethernet, and I've watched it go through the sequence of flashing blue reset and WPS lights until it settles down, but this doesn't change the situation, evidently.

I am having a recurring problem with tcp sessions timing out / getting reset. I'm using the DIR-655 with PPPoE on a Qwest DSL line. Everything appears to be working fine (including my ipv6 tunnel) except for this issue where my long running ssh & database connections are being reset after a period of time.Currently have 2.03NA loaded, tried using 2.07NA but couldn't get ipv6 working correctly with the newer version.

I need to reset my 615 remotely. I will have someone on the other end push the reset button. I will then need to have them login to the 615 wirelessly. I'll establish a remote control session to their computer, and then I'll reconfigure the router settings. I know how to reconfigure the router just fine.
1) How long do you press the reset button, the manual says 10 seconds, is that correct?
>> 12 SECONDS
2) Once reset, is wireless turned on by default? I hope so, but the manual shows ENABLE WIRELESS unchecked... is that the default setting? Do I HAVE TO CONNECT VIA LAN CABLE TO "ENABLE WIRELESS" first?
>> YES
3) is the default ssid = "dlink" (no quotes)
>> YES
4) is the SSID invisible by default, or is it visible immediately after RESET?
>> IT IS VISIBLE AFTER RESET
The person on the other side can't access the router with a LAN cable, so once reset, the only way to get into the router will be via wireless; that's why I want to be sure I can do this before we do the reset.

I have been using d link routers for a very long time. However, recently I have a problem with one of my dlink router..
Basically I have a Wireless N 150 Home Router (DIR-600 B2). I managed to reset and login to the router at http://192.168.0.1. I tried to made some configuration (disabling DHCP, some stuff, basically I was trying to configure this router as Wireless Repeater to connect to another room downstairs).
So it didn't connect so I do a reset (hold a pen for 20+ seconds at the reset button) and now I cant login to the router at http://192.168.0.1..

I have just bought a DIR-825 rev C1 stock firmware 3.0 (19 Jan 2012,) and I am pleased with its performance so far. However, I need to allow DHCP renewal request to pass through from all IP to UDP port 67 to UDP port 68; or else I will have to reboot DIR-825 every 24 hours (which is not fun ). My U-verse 2wire modem is a 3600HGV.

Shareport recognizes the printer only after resetting the DIR-825 router. I don't know if this is a Shareport issue or an issue with the DIR-825 disabling the USB port.This happens after there is no PC connected to the router for a number of hours such as overnight. I have 1 laptop and 1 desktop running Win 7 64-bit and 1 laptop running Win 7 32-bit. The desktop is connected directly to the router and the laptops connect via wifi. All PCs work perfectly when the DIR-825 is reset.This isn't a big issue but it's extremely annoying and shouldn't happen. I use a Cisco WAG320 in my office that has similar USB functionality and this never happens.
D-Link Router: DIR-825
FW Version: 1.13NA

I have a DIR-655 (HW rev A2) that has worked mostly fine for a long time. Today I decided to do a firmware upgrade, and in preparation I backed up my custom config settings and did a hard reset via the factory reset button on the back of the unit.
Since then, the unit itself has been inaccessible from my computer. If I connect the DIR-655 and a PC with a network cable, the appropriate light goes on on the front of the router, but the client does not lease an IP address from the router and I can't access the router home page at 192.168.0.1.
I have tried the reset button again and also power-cycled multiple times, and I have tried connecting from multiple computers, all with the same unsuccessful results. how to "un-brick" the device?

I just changed my internet provider from DSL to cable. When I hooked up the DIR-615 I had some difficulties. At first my computers would all connect to the router but there was no internet connection. I had to download the latest firmware and install it. After the install succeeded, everything seemed to be okay. However, I now occasionally get the message that the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. Also, the little world symbol on the router constantly flashes at a rapid rate. Before the switch, neither of these two things happened. When I check the download speed it seems fine. The cable modem is an Arris and also handles my telephone service.

DIR-615 REv E, Originally had a Windows vista, windows 7, sony bravia tv (hardwired), sony blue ray player, 2 blackberry torch, an ipod, and whoever else happened to be there connected. After a router push button reset 7 reconfigure, only the windows vista and a samsung tablet will connect. The windows 7 computer sees the router but cannot see the internet. It does connect if hardwired thru the router.
