Title: DD-WRT installation link ?
Post by: oxolaterre on February 09, 2019, 10:06:07 PM

Hi everyone,

I have DIR-895L since last summer probably latest devices sold in my country France....
I'm facing design issue, i tried to insert dedicated fortinet FW betwwen my VDsL boxes and DIR895-L but there's something wrong with wan port, current GUI don't give enough possibility that's why i would like install DD-WRT.
I read lot of threads and discover that forum but i didn't find any simple update process for that device

The link below is probably the key but i can't access it :(

Can someone share a simple update process ?

Many thanks

Oxo

Link>Welcome! (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=49573.0)

• 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 ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
• For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
• If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>Double NAT (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm) and How NAT Works (http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm). Call the ISP and ask to see if the ISP modem can be bridged. To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Networking-101-The-DMZ-137550). Also check the routers DHCP IP address maybe conflicting with the ISP modems IP address of 192.168.0.1. Check to see if this is the same on the ISP modem, and if modem can't be bridged, change the DIR router to 192.168.1.1 or .0.254.
