DIR-615 Rev E1 dropping packets
« on: May 31, 2010, 12:51:02 PM »
I recently purchased a Dlink DIR-615 Rev E1 which came with 5.00NA firmware after moving into a new apartment. I noticed during online games over a wireless connection that every 5-15 minutes I was receiving 2-8 second lag spikes rather constantly. After using tracert and pinging each node to see where the packets were being lost, I discovered that my router was dropping a packet or two every 1000 packets or so. I have tried playing with the settings, however nothing seems to work.

In addition, I have run into problems where about once a day it seems to drop the connection entirely and nothing will work until I reset both the router and the cable modem.

I noticed there was no newer version of firmware so I am at a loss of what to do, are there any suggestions before I try to return it?

Solution is sell it, the 615 on dlink firmware is junk. Doesn't matter what revision you have. Or hack it to put on DD-WRT custom firmware. It than works like it should have in the first place.

Thanks for the DD-WRT suggestion. I had no idea it was supported. I'll try that tonight.

Try ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/06-03-10-r14537/dlink-dir615e/dir615e-factory-to-ddwrt-firmware.bin

That's the latest build for Ex revision, though there are some reports of people not succeeding to flash it on E1. Read my post here: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=13263.msg79907#msg79907
