Hi Skello,
I tried the firmware from the ftp site for my E1 router but it failed and won't except the factory-ddwrt firmware. I also tried the one from http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database previously with same result. Anyone out there have better luck with their E1 routers?
Well, E1 is not officially supported by DD-WRT, and if ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/05-25-10-r14573/dlink-dir615e/dir615e-factory-to-ddwrt-firmware.bin failed to flash, then you might be out of luck. Any error message?
You could, at your own risk (and I cannot emphasize this enough), try flashing it from the Emergency Room Web Interface.
!!!BE ADVISED, THIS COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!
To access the Emergency Room Web interface follow these steps:
1. Unplug the router's power cord and wait 20 seconds.
2. Get a pin, push the RESET button and KEEP IT PRESSED.
3. Connect the power cord back (while still keeping the reset button pressed)
4. Keep the reset button pressed for an additional 5 seconds after connecting power cord and then release. At this point you should see the power button blinking orange.
5. Connect over a wired connection to the router and set your network adapter IP MANUALLY to 192.168.0.2
6. Open http://192.168.0.1 in a browser. You should see a white page with a Browse and Upload button.
If the DD-WRT flash works, reboot your router and set your ethernet adapter to obtain IP automatically then try to access http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 .
If it fails, reboot the router and use the same procedure to flash the original D-Link firmware. Get it from: ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir615_revE/Firmware/dir615_revE_fw_500NA.zip
