Title: won't update firmware!
Post by: sgogeta4 on August 03, 2010, 08:47:21 AM

So I have the DIR-655 hardware version A3 firmware version 1.21. I downloaded the 1.34NA firmware from the D-Link FTP and am connected to the router via wired connection. I unzipped the firmware and placed the BIN file into the C: directly and uploaded just fine but after the router reset, the firmware is still 1.21! I tried resetting the router but when I logged on afterwards, it still showed 1.21. I can't seem to find anything in the log except "Establishing connection w/ auth server: 174.78.110.160:443." - not sure if this is related? I appreciate any assistance provided!

No, is not related. You need to disable Securespot for that message to go away (on by default).

Thanks for the info. Before I disable it, what exactly does SecureSpot do? Anyone have suggestions for updating my firmware?

I am having the exact same problem, I am on an A3 version running 1.32NA firmware, and have attempted twice now to update to 1.34NA with no change.

Suggestions?

Yeah sorry, was a bit lazy. Looked it up already, then realized that I tried it before but forgot about it since you had to pay for it. Still stuck with the firmware thing though, I even try 1.33NA, will try 1.32NA shortly, but still, weird problem!!

edit: 1.32NA has the same issue and won't update.

Push the reset button and hold it in until lights flash.

Wait for router to finish rebooting then flash firmware.
