Which page will not load?

The page that links to the firmware download: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=9480.0
Or the link for the firmware itself?

Try this: ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dgl4500/Beta/Firmware/dgl4500_fw_121b08NA_beta.zip (ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dgl4500/Beta/Firmware/dgl4500_fw_121b08NA_beta.zip)

It seems they didn't use the Insert FTP Link button when making their post.

Beta 03 fixed the disconnects that the 4500 was experiencing. Beta 08 fixed the DNS relay and WiFi reboots.

So do I need to install both or will v8 of the beta take care of them both?  The other question I have is the beta looks like it's made for A2.  I am not home to check right now but what if I have a version A1 router - will the firmware still work on that?  Thanks!

Any updated including Beta 08 handles the entire 4500 unit including Wired and Wireless. Beta 08 is loaded and working on my A1 HW unit which I'm currently connected on my Mac Laptop via WiFi. Let us know how it goes. Hope it helps you.

*****************************

any FW greater than 1.13...

Set logging to only log Firewall & Security and Critical.

That by itself removed all my issues with this router,  I was about to scrap it until I read the beta fw thread and someone mentioned the logging issue.

Tired of messing around with D-Link and all the broken promises?  Want to roll your
dgl-4500 firmware back to 1.15 right now?  The two links below have the fix. This
is not a joke.  It works.  Both sites are very reputable and people have tested it.

http://www.ispgeeks.com/wild/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4224#15926

and

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r23720820-downgrade-possible-DGL4500-12xNA115

Follow the simple instructions and tell d-link where to stuff it.

Christmas was a little late this year but better late than never!
