D-link G604T firmware

[ziglet]

If anyone has this router / has upgraded to the latest firmware:
DSL-G604T_V2.01.B01T01RU.20060320

Please tell me if you had any problems / What changes, if any have you found / noticed.

Thanks - always a bit hesitant to do a firmware upgrade...

One tip: Don't upgrade it in Firefox, rather do it in Internet Explorer. My firefox got stuck or something and just stayed on the flashing screen. I left it for an hour and a half to make sure that it flashed and then I unplugged the router Lucky for me it did flash properly. There are 2 files to upgrade, switch to IE for the second file and it flashed and restarted back at the login screen. I have a 504t btw

Not sure if it's the same for the 604t but on the 504t, v2 = adsl 2, 2+ compatible and you need to flash it with a certain version of firmware before you can put on the latest. So check up on that too

and Good luck

Yea just did it now, lol. The interface never did work quite well with firefox...

Quite a nice firmware upgrade i do say, some nice new added features. Unfortunately no simultaneous bridge + pppoe

Wow, the best thing about it seems that:
Rx Total Error Counts = 0 so far.
Compared to the 932 i use to get ever hour or so

mine works fine in FF. heh.. i upgraded a friends with the utility.. cause it was still ver 1, 504t.. and it crashed and we thought it was stuffed. But i managed to do it again properly. Apparently the inital upgrade is revision specific.. so i got a B one him an A. Anyways its all working now if only there was 3rd party hacks of the firmware.

Yea, i think you could do some nice things with firmware hacks. eg: pppoe and bridge at same time lol

Hey Ziglet,

I have this router and am loving it! Running July 2006 Australian firmware... I have managed to hack the thing to a certain extent, you may wanna check out a post of mine from a couple of weeks back http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=52541.

My google page has the firmware I use on my router, packaged into an exe file, so no need to use the web interface (which is the one thing that is seriously lacking on the G604T).
