I just upgraded my dir-835 to the latest 1.03 firmware and it still not working !
Plugged an ntfs firmated drive with films on it into the router and windows media player can see and stream from the router but xbox 360 is not detecting the media server !
I tried with a dir 857 and xbox works fine but with the dir 853 no go
-
Is the Drive enabled and being recognized under Advanced/Storage?
What make, model and size is the USB drive?
Is the drive NTFS formatted by the drives Mfr or by Windows? Seen some proprietary formatting from Mfrs that the router wont correctly detect. Only the standard Windows formatting works, NTFS or FAT32.
-
the drive is a normal lexar 32gb formatted to ntfs but i tried it also as fat32.
The drive is seen by the router and i can acess it trough \\192.168.0.1\.
Windows media player sees the drive but xbox is not seeing it.
-
Is the xbox wired or wireless?
Is uPnP enabled on the on the router?
Is Multi-Cast Streaming enabled?
Does the Xbox have a reserved IP address? Automatic settings on the router?
Did you test this out before updating FW?
-
Upnp is enabled,
Multistream is enables on both ipv4 and 6
Xbox has an dynamic dhcp and not an reserved one
It never worked since firmware 1.01 since i bought the router.
I tested with and dir-857 and the dlna is detected right away
I tested also with an rt-n66u and it works too
In my computer the windows media player detects the dlna server but the xbox is not. Makes me think the minidlna server is not compatible with the xbox client
-
I also downloaded and iphone dlna media player and it works perfectly also.
Since i know this router work with MiniDLNA version 1.0.18 (read from the .dbdir found on the usb key)
I read a bit on the internet and allot of posts says this is an old version witch allot of uncompatibilities with newer devices !

I recommend that you phone contact Dlink support, level 2 or higher and inquire about this. If the xbox is working on a 857 and other routers and not hthe 835, i would presume there could be a possible FW issue or maybe we are missing a configuration on the 835. Keep us posted on what they say.
-
just send an email to them with a link to this thread and now waiting for an answer
-
I recommend calling vs email.

-
still waiting for them to call back !
One guy contacted me by phone but is was with tipical stupid level 1 questions !
I guess guys at dlink do not know networking one bit :( looks like they read from a book when you talk to them.
Simply no logic
-
Why I recommended you asking for level 2 or higher support. Level one is basic troubleshooting. ::)
-
Any status on this ???
-
they were able to reproduce the issue and someone called me letting me know that by the end of the month there will be an updated firmware in beta state for the dir-835.
They will call me directly when available !
I will post here the link as soon as they call me
-
That would be really cool. Actual positive change. I wonder what the design process is for firmware. Like I wonder how much work they put into designing new firmware vs improving current firmware. Interesting.
-
Awesome, hope they will fix it soon for you. Keep us posted.
-
hello they just sendt me the new beta 1.04 firmware for the dir 835 !
How can i upload it here ?
-
Did it fix your problem?
-
yes it fixed the problem and the wifi on 5ghz seems also allot faster !
i can ger now 30Mb/sec on 5ghz transfer from my nas to my pc and before was like 23-25 max
-
I recommend that you report back to DLink support with your results and ask them if they would post that to the Web site. I presume this would work for CA and NA units however not fully sure. We can't officially post links to non DLink sites regarding FW updates. If this is a good solution and seems to work, I'm sure DLink would get into there testing and finalize it for public release.
I've looked on other DLink sites and FTPs and it's not there so I presume that this beta version could be posted at some point. Please ask them to post it or include in there next public release to the web site.
-
Sent you a PM. ;)
-
finaly they released the firm ! enjoy !!!
-
Ditto
-
Just FYI, I think they finally posted this version to the Main site. Even though they didn't progress the version. ::)
