Awesome.

[Ned]

Received the replacement router yesterday.  Configured it just like the previous one.  The wireless speed problem is gone and the clock is showing the right time but the logs are still not being emailed on the schedule (once a day at midnight) and don't show important activity like a device being assigned an IP address.  All I get in the log is rows like these:

Jun 14 09:15:30     info     reading /etc/resolv.conf
Jun 14 09:15:28     info     reading /etc/resolv.conf
Jun 14 09:15:26     info     reading /etc/resolv.conf
Jun 14 09:15:24     info     reading /etc/resolv.conf
Jun 14 09:15:22     info     reading /etc/resolv.conf

Also, the dyndns is showing fail where the other router would show connect.

I'll keep this one but probably make it the backup and use the A2 model for my router.  I don't need the IPV6 support yet, so that's not a factor.  I may wait to see if they have another update to the firmware that will fix the logging and dyndns problems, but I'm not holding my breath

[Ned]

Is anyone using 2.03NA and having the logs emailed successfully?  Do the logs show the correct information?  Does the dyndns work?  Is the clock showing the right time?

If all the above are yes, then I'll downgrade the B1 router to that version.  It came with 2.07NA which is known to be buggy.

[FurryNutz]

Downgrade to V2.03. Unless your ISP email is using SSL/TLS, the email logs should work. Been seeing some issues with logs not being emailed if your ISP is using SSL/TLS protocols. Use an NTP server like time.nist.gov to keep the time correct.

[Ned]

Email uses plain text authentication on port 26.  I use pool.ntp.org for the time server.

I'll try 2.03 when I get a chance to take the network down.

Thanks.

Your problems with B1 are not the whole story. B versions are weaker as a firewall.

A series pass security tests and B series routers don't.  Period!

Go to:

and test your two routers for yourself.  Firmware revision is irrelevant.

[Ned]

The Security Now tests don't ever see my router.  I'm on HughesNet satellite and their modem has all ports closed.

[FurryNutz]

You should be good on v2.03. I've tested 2.00 and 2.03 on @ grc and the only only thing that was open was port 0 on 2.00 which is not closed on 2.03. Both FWs are very stable. Your emails should come thru just fine if set up correctly on the router. Theres a sticky in the FAQ Library about email set up and FW updating. Enjoy.

Thanks, I'll let you know what happens when I install 2.03.  I hope I can use my existing configuration file so I don't have to go through that again manually.  If the logs get sent and the SharePort works with my external drive, I'll keep the B1 as my primary router, but if not, I'll use the A2 and keep the B1 as a backup.

[FurryNutz]

Enjoy.

[Ned]

Not looking good for the new B1 router.  Shareport doesn't work, logs don't email, dynamic dns doesn't work.  I think it's back to the A2 router where everything works until D-Link can fix the firmware, assuming it's not a hardware deficiency.

The only problems this replacement solved was the time now is correct and the wireless speeds are as expected.

[FurryNutz]

Did you put v2.03 on?

[Ned]

Did you put v2.03 on?

Yes, that's what I was reporting on.

[FurryNutz]

What version of Shareport are you running? Try v4 from the DIR-835 web site.
Ensure your drive(s) are clean formated to NTFS before connecting them to the router.

[Ned]

I have Shareport 3.1.0 R1 and it works with my A2 router.  I've given up on the B1 model and am keeping it for an emergency spare only.
