Yes, you can use the NA firmware on the EU model. I've done so in the past before 1.2x, one downside is that besides not being able to go back to a version before 1.2x in general (all versions), you also (for now) can't switch anymore between the 1.21NA release and the 1.20EU release. Many EU people are reporting not being able to flash back to a EU version (even in the 1.2x range) from a NA version. I don't know for sure if this is a 1.21 -> 1.20 flashback issue (ergo not being able to flash lower than 1.21 if 1.21 is installed) or if it's an difference in microcode for the EU and NA version, since there are differences in the USB versions used for the USB port.

So think twice when flashing with the NA version, BUT this version does fix a lot of problems (more than the current 1.20EU version)...

In your expert opinion, would you flash your device to the NA fw if you were sat on the ancient but kinda-stable 1.12?

This firmware does not fix the WAN lockups in my case.

Hey Now,


I was one of the many who were experiencing a router lockup every 3 days and after loading this firmware I have been running 8 days straight without any problem. Finally no more calls from the wife every 3 days telling me the computer is broken.

If i put a direct url, http://RouterIP/Tools/Admin.shtml for example , don't ask me for login and password.

Please, can somebody check this and confirm if it is a bug?

Edit:

Ummmm... If i login in firefox, session is open for other browsers (like explorer, opera, chrome...) even if i close firefox (or other browser), why??? open to a IP???? seriously??????

Session must be only for the browser who open it and must be closed when browser is closed or pass "X" time...

I flashed to it and I'm really unhappy!  Wireless errors and packetloss and my router just completely rebooted itself for no reason.  ): 

[lizzi555]

Did you reset it to factory defaults ?
And did you configure it manually afterwards ?

Do not use a saved settings file from an older version.

[Syaoran]

That's always the way I do things when upgrading.  Maybe I'll try hard resetting the router and and setting up everything again.  With all of the people saying things are fixed in this version, I actually have more issues now than I did with the 1.12. 

[lizzi555]

Are you running P2P like utorrent ? Try to lower the number of connections.

Also you may try to test the DIR with only one radio enabled first.
If no errors occur switch to the other radio only.

I had a lot of issues because I had another 2.4GHz router placed near the DIR.
But now it is running > 40 days with this last firmware

[Syaoran]

I have both radios enabled because of my N based notebook which I set to run on the 5GHz band only.  This is the only router I use.  I do have utorrent active on one of my systems.  I am using a DSL connection though with a crappy 1Mbit upload so it's has already been adjusted to limit its number of connections in both directions.  I have yet to hard reset it but I think I'm going to do that right now.

Hard reset the router and everything and here's what I have so far.  ):

See!  I definitely am not the only one.  How long has the beta 7 been out?  Technically, we still don't have a final release and that there are still some outstanding issues.  The sad part is that D-Link only seems to care about the DGL series and not the DIR since they get the updates first and there's always someone from D-Link lurking around the GamerLounge forums.
