Title: Installed 2.02NA and now I can no longer connect to the net!
Post by: lurkerx on August 17, 2009, 04:48:02 AM

I have had issues staying connected on the 2.0 Version that came with my router. But I downloaded 2.02 installed it, everything installed fine and when I went to connect, it no longer finds my DSL connection. It keeps saying there is no signal. This is like a disaster. Can anyone help me on this?

I am having the same problem.  My connection is cable.  I have a DIR-655 which connects without problem.  Attach the DIR-825 B1 with 2.02NA firmware and it does not obtain a lease from the cable modem.  The Status page shows 0.0.0.0 for the WAN IP after rebooting, releasing and renewing several times.

It is definitely a problem with the firmware.  Suggestions and ideas very welcome.

Thanks!

I have been humbled.  Turns out the problem was the router MAC address.  In order to sync with the cable modem, I had to clone my PC's MAV address on the manual Internet connection screen.

Mess around long enough and you find your own answers.

I had something similar.  For some reason, while upgrading to 2.02NA, I "broke" something in my configuration and had to re-install and re-configure.  I manually configured the WAN, but it didn't connect.  I had to reboot a couple of times and it started working.

I wondered about the MAC address, but I didn't touch it.  Never set it to "my PC".  I just checked, and my MAC addresses (WAN and LAN) are *not* the same as the PC I used to configure the connection.

At this time, everything is working fine.  Just got the DIR-825 yesterday; will be interested to see how long it goes between re-boots...

Note: I find with a "long reset" (30+ seconds), the firmware gets wiped (HW: B1).  It prompts for the .BIN file.  Fortunately I had 2.02NA on-hand, and have now saved it as part of my "recovery procedure"...
