I downloaded the 1.04 Firmware update from the german support page.

Link>Welcome!

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Hmmm, interesting. Not sure if the information is correct for this model router or not. I haven't heard of any changes and mostly when v2.xx is developed, it's mostly for Rev B models and not Rev A. Unless they maybe forth coming with a 645 Rev B model. I do have this v1.04 Build 11 on my 645 and it works. I don't see any v2.17 listed anywhere so this could be a mis-take.

I'll forward this to D-Link and see what information I get back.

[FurryNutz]

FYI there is no v2.17 version for this model router. We presume the information posted in the notes was is error.

============ Solution ============
 
DIR-600 - update to v2.17b01
DIR-645 - update to v1.04b11
DIR-845 - update to v1.02b03

so I think that explains the meaning of the reference to 2.17

[FurryNutz]

This issue was resolved in v1.04 B11

I was wondering where the v2.17 came from, now we know.

Thanks for sharing.

Is there a full list of all versions and the changes they brought to the table someplace?  I am quite a ways behind the current version, but would like to review ALL the changes in ALL releases between where I am, and current.

I'd have to look at each versions release notes. Usually not all in one place sometimes. What version is currently loaded?  

What region are you located?

[shiekh]

Knew a guy once who would not update firmware till he had investigated the problems in the existing firmware; of course nothing ever got upgraded as a result.

I'm a bit of the opposite and rush to the latest and 'greatest' when it comes to firmware, and this also has its flaws.

Here are the release notes for various versions
ftp://ftp2.dlink.com/PRODUCTS/DIR-645/REVA/

makes one wonder why there is not hardware that does not allow buffer overflow.

[FurryNutz]

Well it's up to users to make up there own decisions about FW updates. I tend to agree with your friend, if it works, don't fix it. However I to eventually update FW. It's nice that we can downgrade too on most routers. Some we can't. Users needs to review the release notes and as I recommend to everyone, if there not effected by any of the issues in the release notes, and there routers are working, FW updates may not be needed. Ya, problems need to be troubleshot to narrow down the issue and see if a FW update is really needed. In some cases it's not or the FW update doesn't fix anything.

As far as I know, the 645 may not see another FW released unless there is a security issue. I am wondering why I see a B12 on a EU site though. No release notes and it's not officially released.

I think there was a reason I didn't update on one of the earlier releases, something changed that I wasn't sure I wanted to risk, can't recall.

Are the individual version update notes available to the public anyplace?

You have a good point, but firmware without security patches works just fine... and some changes are to accommodate new technology, which one might not yet have; now if one does not update, it will look like the new technology is to blame.

The great thing about D-Link, in my opinion, is the emergency room; as one risk of continually updating is bricking the unit...

B12 you say... gotta go...

[FurryNutz]

Yes...nice to have a way to recover the router.
