    Port forwarding with a complicated home setup

    Like swakop_toe said, your provider should be able to provide you the information. The question is, is the Mikrotic router supposed to be managed by you? If so, if they don't know the password you can factory reset it and at least they should provide you the WAN settings you need to connect...

    D-Link DWR-956M FLLA Router doing dual duty

    About 2 years ago I changed from ADSL to fibre and received a D-Link DIR-825 router from Afrihost. Then, a few months, maybe a year ago Telkom forced me from copper and I could choose between a phone or a router to accommodate my set of cordless analogue phone. I received the DWR-256M router...

    Telnet / SSH on Pace 921VNX

    I have the same problem with the D-LInk DWR-956M Telkom supplied me. Tried nology*/ even though I did not expect it to work - it didn't. I managed to make the config file sowewhat readable but I don't see anything there. SSH is running, I can disable/enable it from the GUI. Can anybody help?

    D-Link DWR956M Can't login via SSH

    Gives me "Permission denied, please try again" when trying to ssh [email protected]. Trying the same password I set in the GUI for admin. Even did a factory reset and tried admin/admin before setting another password. On my other router, a DIR-825 (supporting only Telnet, very insecure) the...

    D-Link DWR-956M Configuration File Format

    Thanks dabean, good suggestion, I think there will be a checksum somewhere to prevent it from loading a damaged file. Question is where is it exactly, and which part of the file do I have to cut out to calculate the checksum. Can be the first 32 bytes of the file, which are 32 ascii characters...

    D-Link DWR-956M Configuration File Format

    This is the router I received from Telkom for FLLA. I also have a DIR-825 G1 from Afrihost. For the 825 the config file was a .tar.gz which contained a JSON file, easy to open and edit. The 956-M saved a file default.cfg which looks like this when typed out: I thought this was something like...

    Afrihost Firmare Settings

    Morning eosman I see two issues. First, Tattle01 was migrating to another ISP and wanted to take along the router he already paid for, but seemingly had to order another one. Somebody suggested just get an Asus. Which is > R1400. Secondly, read this article...

    https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/d-link-dir-825-g1-how-to-disable-tr-069-upgrade-to-firmware-5-0-1.1106157/ I posted this earlier today. I hope it helps. I have config files I saved in March/April 2018, according to the JSON files it was already enabled then. I only noticed it after I...

    D-LINK DIR-825 G1 - HOW TO DISABLE TR-069 (& Upgrade to firmware 5.0.1)

    I have read that TR-069 can give hackers an opportunity to hack into your router. This week I woke up one morning and could not read my newspaper. I found a ping time of 4000 ms to my default gateway at my ISP! Like every time, now and then, I had to reset the router. Don't know what you...
