Title: Check For Update Doesn't Even Work
Post by: In0va3 on August 06, 2010, 07:33:58 PM

Whenever I click on the Check Now for Check Online Now for Latest Firmware Version button, it never shows the new firmware but I can see there is a new firmware online at dlink.com

What's wrong?

If NA firmware is what you need: ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir655/Firmware/

No, I know the link and stuff thats why I said on dlink.com but I'm just curious why my router tells me that it's up to date when it isn't.

If you are going to do that at least do it correctly.

WTH, your just dissing each other.  The problem is, my router is telling me the wrong thing when there is an update for my router.

Title: Re: Check For Update Doesn't Even Work
Post by: EddieZ on August 09, 2010, 11:03:49 AM

No, final. They used Beta03 as final release.

So what's your point?  ???

Title: Re: Check For Update Doesn't Even Work
Post by: In0va3 on August 09, 2010, 05:46:18 PM

I don't know, my router just doesn't tell me theres a new firmware when there really is. That's all, and did anyone else have this problem? Having used 1.33 then checking for new firmware on router, it tells me there isn't but on dlink.com, there is and it was already final!

That's what you said in your first post... I guess that closes this thread.

I guess no one knows the answer.

My router is the same. I have 1.21 firmware and the router replies that I have the latest version.

It appears to be a bug in the firmware.

Hi HighSierra,

Actually, it is not a bug. I am running the latest version or the same version as you are: 1.21

Firmware 1.21 is the last version from 1.00 to 1.21, where one can go back and forth without problems.

Once you install the later versions 1.3# and latest, you can't easily go back to version 1.21.

That's why, I haven't upgraded.

I wish I had known that 1.21NA was the real working firmware before I updated to 1.32NA and now to 1.34NA which are worthless piece of junk that freezes, bogs down and disconnect periodically

The real question is D-Link is not going to fix this firmare bugs?

Why no program automatic firmware updates that dont require the user intervention?    Simply apply any update available automatically and enable in the router sending statistics and crash reports to D-Link?

Actually the latest Version is 1.3 something. The button says Check for Latest Firmware Version. There is nothing that says "sorry I only check within a certain range of versions". Therefore this feature is not working.

Agreed.  The thread title says it all.  This is a feature that doesn't work.
