How safe is it to download a firmware from another company that is not the manufacturer of your router?

[lizzi555]

It is also on thr D-Link FTP:

ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir825_revB/Firmware/

I'm having so much trouble with my DIR-825 that I am even scared to update the firmware.  I have issues with even being able to connect/ping the router from a wired connection during the random WAN "blackouts", so I am a little afraid that the firmware update will fail and I will have a REAL brick.

Anyway, I am so dissatisfied with this router so far that if I have to hit it with a hammer it'll be worth the cost.

Has anyone else with the B1 version updated to the new firmware?  If so, is the router "fixed" or are there still issues?

Purchased a B1 rev last week.  Immediately upgraded to V2.02NA firmware.  I have not had a single problem with it yet.  I have wired connections and am actively using both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands.

Firmware 2.02NA has fixed all the issues I was having with the router...

Just bought mine 825 yesterday, delivered with v2.00EU, was trying to upload v2.02NA but it revokes that firmware, now I'm sitting with a 655 and a 825 and both works like crap. Wonder why they make a firmware that don't works on the product. ..

[ChickenMan]

Try downloading the proper firmware
--> 2.02NA (The NA is short for North America)
--> 2.02EU (The EU is short for Europe and Canada)

Upgraded to 2.02NA to correct the WAN disconnect problem.  Now It Does Not Connect AT ALL!

Yes, I unplugged the cable modem a few times during the ordeal.  I can still plug the desktop directly into the cable modem and it works fine. 

Can someone please help me? 

HW: B1
Service: Comcast
Cable Modem: "SURFboard SB3100"

I thought someone reading this post might have encountered this issue.... but I'm on this thread too:  http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=7791.0

try resetting router.  It will keep your updated firmware.  Just reset and then let the auto wizard config and see what happens

[PapaBaugh]

Thank you, brtlatjgt,

I tried that (again) just now.  No luck.  I've read elsewhere that holding down the reset button for 40 seconds might do something different.  Anyone know?  -Ryan

[brtlatjgt]

When resetting my linksys It would make a difference if I held it down for 30 sec.

I'm sure your doing this--but your not plugging into the lan port.  Your plugging into wan port--right?

[PapaBaugh]

  thanks.  ports are correct.

When I was configuring mine, at one point, I reset for 30-50 seconds (didn't time), and the firmware itself was reset; the firmware itself was "wiped" (or so it seems).  Not just the settings, but the firmware itself!  When I went to 192.168.0.1, I was prompted by some sort of "boot-loader" (my term), asking for the binary containing the firmware.  Fortunately, I had 2.02NA on-hand. 

My sequence of events was:
1) Original HW:B1
2) Upgraded firmware
3) Long reset (30-50 seconds)
4) Boot-loader prompted for firmware binary (I gave it 2.02NA)

[PapaBaugh]

I'll try this sequence to see if it works.  Haven't tried the long reset yet.  Thanks, I'll let you know!
