The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => Routers / COVR => DIR-615 => Topic started by: Cardulus on May 31, 2010, 12:51:02 PM

I recently purchased a Dlink DIR-615 Rev E1 which came with 5.00NA firmware after moving into a new apartment. I noticed during online games over a wireless connection that every 5-15 minutes I was receiving 2-8 second lag spikes rather constantly. After using tracert and pinging each node to see where the packets were being lost, I discovered that my router was dropping a packet or two every 1000 packets or so. I have tried playing with the settings, however nothing seems to work.
In addition, I have run into problems where about once a day it seems to drop the connection entirely and nothing will work until I reset both the router and the cable modem.
I noticed there was no newer version of firmware so I am at a loss of what to do, are there any suggestions before I try to return it?

I am having similar issues. Did you find a solution for your issue?

Solution is sell it, the 615 on dlink firmware is junk. Doesn't matter what revision you have. Or hack it to put on DD-WRT custom firmware. It than works like it should have in the first place.

Thanks for the DD-WRT suggestion. I had no idea it was supported. I'll try that tonight.

That's the latest build for Ex revision, though there are some reports of people not succeeding to flash it on E1. Read my post here: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=13263.msg79907#msg79907
