DSL-2640U Router Firmware Update Failure

[moriarty]

I have this D-link router:
DSL-2640U
HW Ver: C2
FW Ver: ME_2.01
I had tried to update firmware to this indian firmware but it was not compatible with my modem (it's for C4 version). I've seen a fatal error during updating firmware on my router and then it was reset. Now power led, internet led and 1 lan led are turned on. I dont have access to admin panel (192.168.1.1). I had tried to reset my router with reset button but it did not work. I would appreciate who can help me to set new firmware on my router.

I would suggest that you contact D-Link: http://www.d-link.co.za/corporate/contact/

It sounds like you've bricked your modem in which case you may have to swap your modem out. The D-Link modems are terrible with regards to firmware upgrades, because it does not protect you from flashing it with an incorrect build - like what you've done just now.

Alternatively, consider checking the OpenWRT site, perhaps there is an alternate firmware that you can use. If not, at least they can point you in the direction of the serial console, etc, that you might need to upload the original firmware.

Hi There,
I am with Pada and go to D-Link for assistance.
Why did you want to upgrade the firmware?
