To get the exact version, open a browser and type in the IP of your router /version.txt  (http://192.168.0.100/version.txt) or http://dlinkrouter.local./version.txt

I'm surprised the router bricked after the update. You will need to contact your regional D-Link support and ask them if they have these security beta files (have them check SIM or D-TRACK). These security patches are global and if the file posted on the US site doesn't work they need to offer it to European users.

You don't have to use the prior version, any version of FW will work from your region in the recovery mode. Something to get the router loaded again and working. You can update normally if you can get the router back into a working state. Looks like you got it working again though.

Someone else mentioned that recovery IP address was .100 as well:

thanks for your help. I have version "Firmware Internal Version :V1.06B01_20171109_BETA01" although I flashed beta02 from DIR645A1_FW106B01_beta02.bin

very strange!

[FurryNutz]

Good to hear.

Ya, strange behavior.

Enjoy. 

[naddel81]

is the november release the latest firmware for that model? "20171109"

[GreenBay42]

Yes

[naddel81]

great, thanks for all your help.
btw: does the 645 have FTP support when using an usb thumb drive? I guess not.

[FurryNutz]

I don't believe it does. Only DLNA support I think. 

[naddel81]

what would be the successor to the dir 645? I have the 655, but that is not nearly as powerful (wan-lan througput).

[GreenBay42]

As far as new models, the DIR-822 or DIR-842. If you can find a DIR-880L or DIR-890L cheap get it.

The DIR-6xx series is single band and no longer are being made. Everything is dual-band (DIR-8xx).

[FurryNutz]

 Back then, it was the DIR-657 that was the follow on to the 655 and 645. The 645 was a good router and still is for simple ISPs and simple users.

As Greenbay mentioned, all new stuff is now dual band now days.

D-Link has items on sale:

$150 for a 890L is a steal. Solid router.

[naddel81]

Well, I just needed a router that could deliver my 500 mbit connection to the other devices in LAN. and for 5 bucks the 645 was a steal. I am trying to get a 850 for under 10 bucks now.

[FurryNutz]

The 850 maybe on the lower fringes for ISP speed support. I believe that QoS  on the 850 may not operate correctly or support 500mb speeds.

Let us know if we can help recommend something if the 850 doesn't work for you.

[naddel81]

I haven't even activated QoS on my dir 645. according to the specs the dir 850L has a higher clocked CPU and even more RAM. shoudln't it handle speeds even better than my 645 model (which can do 500 mbit/s wan to LAN without a problem)?

[FurryNutz]

Yes however there maybe a limitation on QoS. Some older models were only capable of 100Mb Down and 50Mb up for QoS. There are two Revs I believe, A and B. I think Rev B Would be more capable.
