Title: firmware update failed... is my router dead?
Post by: kate0558 on August 15, 2015, 06:56:08 AM

I tied to update the firmware on my dir-615. downloaded the current configurations - then installing the new one. but it failed consistently which caused the entire internet to stop working. and plugging my modem directly into the pc wasnt working so i tried reinstalling my router because i couldn't get on the internet at all... thats not working either.

Now i have a router that is just showing a orange power light and its saying "network connection failed" when i try installing it.

I have reset my modem and now i'm able to get online by plugging it directly into the computer but I can't log in to the router with the ip address anymore to upload the old firmware even.

and its still saying "network connection failed"

Is my router dead?

What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under the router case.
Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
What region are you located?
