hi


the wishlist is quite long.......any news if and when we can expect a new firmware?

is a new firmware planned?......in work?

As the subject (i.e. "firmware wishlist") implies, this thread summarizes forum members suggestions for new firmware features and fixes. Adding an item to this list is not a guarantee that specific suggestions will work their way onto future firmware releases. D-Link does visit this (and other) wishlists maintained on the forum.

That said, from my understanding there is a new DNS-320L firmware undergoing QA testing. I don't have access to that firmware or know when it will be publicly released.  I also can't say what features/improvements the new version will include.

Many bugs and more than 1 year without updates...

Shameful!

Below is a summary of everyone's input thus far. Please let me know if I over-generalized, misrepresented, or overlooked anyone's concerns and I'll refresh the list with updates. Recent additions/changes are highlighted in blue. Items addressed on the latest firmware are striked out.

If any items in the wishlist were fixed by the latest firmware, please post and I'll update!

[sharingincaring25]

Im new to the NAS world finally figured out how everything works.

So far so good the only one thing that annoys the hell out of me is that it can download files bigger than 2 gigabyte but when it comes to downloading those files you cannot because its bigger than 2 gigabyte.

luckily thank god for windows and its network drive mapping which is working for me somehow.

The other strange thing if the drive gets un mapped there is a password wall. I thought this was the password for my NAS but when you enter that apparently its not the correct password.

Also the NAS responds sort of sluggishly when connecting to it and if you download anything from it everything else on the page cannot be displayed. Which means the user has to refresh the page and maybe log back in.

Apart from that what a cool little cheaper NAS.

Hi,

sorry for your problems, but there is no point to post it here actually... there will never be any update for the DNS320L. D-Link'd rather release new product. You can buy the new products hoping your specific problems are resolved or live with them with your present box.

[Antonzen]

Could you please release a new firmware update. DLNA / Multimedia Services is not working properly in the latest version. Also, I keep getting "No Volume found" when trying to add a shared folder in "Multimedia shares settings". I found out that this is a common problem for several users. Right now this NAS is useless to me.

[vanhux]

Hi Everyone. Quite happy with DNS 320L up to now.
What regards to the firmware, just two things....

1) Very slow web interface (comparing to TP-Link router for example) a bit disappointed about this one
2) Current users logged-in to the services (FTP,SMB, WebDav)
    Would be nice to have one overview screen for all the services (servers) running
    on the NAS with mentioned currently logged users.

Thanks

[bisk81]

Even if this solution is already on the wishlist, i really hope for the AjaXplorer (Pydio now) add-on. Moreover, when i bought this NAS, i thought this solution was already proposed because on the official dlink website, AjaXplorer is cited: here, in french. Misleading advertising ?

That said, from my understanding there is a new DNS-320L firmware undergoing QA testing. I don't have access to that firmware or know when it will be publicly released.  I also can't say what features/improvements the new version will include. 

Always no news for a firmware update which allows to have add-ons ? At least a release date ? We start to believe that it will never happen
Thanks JavaLawyer

[bartoleitor]

• import file with list of URL to batch download FTP/HTTP
• PXE server
• API for development (example: we can use API for a Chrome extension for send URL/torrent direct chrome to D320L)

 

[subzhero]

app - P2P - ability to add in visualization more than 20 torrent
app - P2P - ability to start more than 10 torrent at one time
app - ftp\http - possibility to add http download from remote control (mydlink.com\application)

thanx
 

[deuf]

No.

Of course it is ! Why prentending it is not !!!! It looks so unfair... I bought the DNS320 as soon as it came out, because i trusted D-link for giving a pretty good product, and correcting or even adding (but this is a bonus) all the problems from the box. I even have 2 D-Link at home... but now i know D-Link is not serious on that.

But why lying like that ? Are you paid by D-Link ? The DNS320L is discontinued. Period. D-link released other models, and no firmware has been out for the 320L since months... perhaps years now...

hi all,

no idea whats going on with firmwares......but dlink germany removed the 1.03b04 firmware from thier homepage.

http://www.dlink.com/de/de/support/product/dns-320l-sharecenter-2-bay-cloud-storage-enclosure


the latest official firmware is now 1.01b03 dated 18.12.2012

on a russian site i found DNS-320L(LW)_A3(A2)_BETA_FW_1.03b06 and DLINK_DNS320L(LW).1.04b01(3.07.0107.2014)

is something wrong with 1.03b04?

i wish dlink would give us more information...
