Dir 615 find out the revision. Fine tuning of network equipment

Internet providers in Voronezh have been developing and multiplying at a tremendous speed for the last 2 years, and therefore they have to change and upgrade their client Internet equipment. For a long time I used an ADSL2 + modem as access to the network and an inexpensive Wi-Fi router, but my provider decided to start in parallel with access by telephone line provide the ability to connect via Ethernet, or as Domolink calls it - Fttx. Along with this, it also became available free service Open TV, which is nothing more than IPTV over UDP protocol... All this prompted me to replace the unpretentious Level ONE WBR-3408 with something more functional. To my surprise, it turned out that functionality doesn't always go hand in hand with high price... How and why I chose Dlink dir-615 can be found under the cut.

Brands and prejudices

It should be noted that I did not come to Dlink right away, at first, when I asked myself which company to choose, I was inclined towards routers by ASUS since the firm itself inspires confidence, and I have repeatedly come across various firmware for them on the open spaces of the network. Without delving into the specifications of the routers, I went in search. The main parameter for me was support Wi-Fi standard N and correct work with IPTV, when I came to the store and asked the sellers, I received a box with an Asus rt-n13 router on which there were inscriptions that the device supports DraftN and IPTV. Setting up the Internet and Wi-Fi did not cause any difficulties, but the IPTV on the computer stubbornly did not want to get along with the raised Ppoe session, either one or the other worked. Without hesitation, I decided to contact Domolink's technical support, in which they informed me in a pleasant voice that this service works only on dlink dir-100/120 routers without Wi-Fi and dir300 / 320 with Wi-Fi standard G. Having decided to search alternative firmware, I was surprised not to find a single one, on this the experiments with the router stopped, and somewhat upset, I resigned myself to the lack of IPTV. A couple of months later, on a local forum, I saw an advertisement for the sale of Dlink dir-615 routers for a very tasty price, new, but without a guarantee, without thinking twice, I climbed onto Ebay and became convinced of my suspicions about their origin, prices started at $ 30 with delivery. Having checked the support of this model on the DD-WRT website, the lot was immediately ordered.

Dlink dir-615 revD

I will not describe the process of receiving parcels at the local Russian Post, I will only say that the packaging was somewhat crumpled, but absolutely intact. Arriving home, I found in a box standard set from manuals, patch cord, disk with settings, power supply and the router itself. To my surprise, the antennas turned out to be non-removable, as it turned out later, there are different revisions of this model of routers, I received a revision model D2 with a completely black case, non-removable antennas and a Ralink 3052 processor. Other revisions may differ both in the color of the case and in the processor and antenna design. By connecting everything to the PC, and seeing standard interface network equipment Dlink, I decided to check the work before flashing it to DD-WRT, the Internet and WI-Fi dutifully worked, TV was still missing.

Official "stingy" characteristics of the router:

Hello Linux DD-WRT

Flashing Dir-615 to DD-WRT is as easy as possible:

1. Find dir-615 "router database" on the dd-wrt website (be sure to check the revision of your router with the one indicated).
2. Go to the Dir-615 revD2 page in the router database, and download the dlink-dir615d-factory-webflash.bin file
3. Go to the router, and in standard firmware find item Firmware Update, point to the downloaded file and click Update.

When unsuccessful firmware, due to a disconnected power supply or other unforeseen circumstances, you should not panic too much, this router has an emergency bootloader that you can use using the following instructions:

1. Turn off the router by pulling out all cables (both power and LAN).
2. Register in the settings network connection in computer static IP address 192.168.0.2, mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1, DNS 192.168.0.1
3. Connect the computer and the router via WAN port on the router.
4. Press and hold Reset on the router.
5. Turn on the router (plug in the power).
6. Wait 5 seconds.
7. Release Reset.
8. Log in through the browser at 192.168.0.1
9. On the page that opens, click Browse and select original file firmware for the router. (link to original firmware Dir-615 revD2 will be posted at the end of the post).
10. Click Upload and follow the instructions.

If everything went well, after a while the router blinks with LEDs and goes to reboot. Now you can go to the router at http://192.168.1.1/. It should be noted that the interface of this firmware is much more friendly and functional than the original Dlink, you should not be afraid that Linux on a router is certainly a console and reading a bunch of manuals, in 90% of cases everything is configured in a couple of mouse clicks. The DD-WRT interface can be tested at the following link: http://dd-wrt.com/demo. Those who are afraid of English can switch the interface to Russian in the tab Administration-Management, which not every official firmware can boast of.

Configuring DD-WRT for Domolink and IPTV

When you first enter, DD-WRT, taking care of your safety, will persistently send you to invent new login and password. After that, you can proceed to setting up the Internet connection and IPTV directly.
Internet connection is configured in the tab Setup-Basic Setup and it takes just a couple of clicks to connect to Domolink:

1. Select the Type Connection - PPPoE
2. Fill in the User Name and Password fields
3. Click Save and Apply Settings at the bottom of the page

After that, the LED with the "planet" should change color from orange to green, if this did not happen, we double-check the entered data, and if everything is correct, go to the tab Management and at the bottom of the page, click Reboot Router.

If the connection was successful, you can proceed to setting up IPTV:

1. Go to the tab Security and turn off SPI Firewall... Click Save.


2. Go to the Administration-Commands tab and paste the following text

ifconfig vlan2 1.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 1.1.1.255
cd / tmp
sleep 30
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14930004/udpxy
chmod + x udpxy
/ tmp / udpxy -a 192.168.1.1 -p 4022 -m 1.1.1.1 -B 1Mb -M 30

3.Click Save Startup, then go to the tab Administration-Management and at the very bottom of the page, click the Reboot Router button.

Explanations:

vlan2- interface appropriate wan porto, may differ in different routers, see the Setup-Networking tab in the * WAN Port Assignment *
wgethttp: //dl.dropbox.com/u/14930004/udpxy- a site with a direct link to the udpxy file, with each boot the router downloads udpxy from there and starts it. I use this repository, but I'm not sure how long this file will last there. Therefore, I will post it below separately. For different routers with DD-WRT file UDPXY will be different, I selected by scientific typing, downloading various UDPXY from the DD-WRT forums.
* / tmp / udpxy -a 192.168.1.1 -p 4022 -m 1.1.1.1 -B 1Mb -M 30 * The allocated value corresponds to the cache allocated for the stream in the router, I lowered this value to 1Mb because for more high values the picture was falling, if the image is with artifacts you can play with this value.

After the performed actions, you need to check whether UDPXY has started, this can be done by the following link showing statistics

The D-Link DIR-615 Wi-Fi router (router page) is very popular among buyers, which means that the instructions for updating the firmware on the D-Link DIR-615 will be popular and relevant. Good router, with an excellent combination of price / quality. For the organization home wifi network, this router is just perfect.

After purchasing a router (not only DIR-615), it can be installed outdated version software(firmware) . It's okay, but before setting up your router, it's best to update the firmware on it to new version... And if your router is already working long time, it is possible that there is already a newer version of the firmware and it is better to update it. Or, you have noticed some problems with the Internet through the router: frequent network cuts, problems in the operation of certain functions, etc.

As I wrote above, if you have just bought a router, then it is better to install a new software. If the router works and works well, and you are not very versed in these matters, then it is better not to touch anything. It works, let it work. But, in updating the software, there is nothing terrible and difficult.

Yes, if you don't follow the instructions, you can turn your router into a brick. Also, if you have already configured everything, then after the firmware you will need to re-specify all the parameters. If you are not sure if you can do this, then it is better to leave it as it is.

The new firmware may contain many improvements and new features that will have a good effect on the operation of the router. And maybe new features will appear. Also, there may be a new design of the control panel.

Downloading the firmware for D-Link DIR-615

First of all, we need to find out the revision (hardware version) our router and download the firmware to your computer.

Find out the hardware version of D-Link DIR-615

Take your device and look at the sticker that is on the bottom. The model and hardware version should be listed there. It looks like this:

We are interested in what is written after "Ver .:". In my case, the hardware version of the device K1 (there may also be K2, B, C, U, etc.).

We remember which hardware version we have and go to the D-Link server at the link http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-615/Firmware/. There we choose our version. In my case, it is "K".

If necessary, then select another subfolder.

Further, we see the folders are usually there Old folder (it contains old firmware versions), and the beta folder (it may contain firmware that is under development)... We don't need these folders, but we need the file itself, with the extension .bin and something like this name 20140711_1343_DIR_615K1_2.5.4_sdk-master.bin. This file is located near the folders. If you look closely at the name of the file, you can see for which router it is, for which revision, which version and date.

The file with the firmware we need is on our computer. You can start the actual software update process.

We update the firmware for DIR-615

You need to know:

1. Make sure that the firmware you download is exactly the right one for your router model. Pay attention to the revision of the device (wrote about this above).

2. The software can only be updated over a network cable. When connected via Wi-Fi, you cannot.

3. Do not turn off the router while flashing. Be careful not to touch the power cable and network cable.

Here's another joke that the DIR-615 has about 4 different panels management. I will introduce that they are different in appearance. And write universal instruction very difficult compared to. There, the settings are the same on all devices. I will try to show by the example of the most popular control panels.

We connect the router to the computer via a network cable (LAN)

We take our router and connect it to a computer (or laptop) via a network cable. A small cable should be included with the router. If this computer has previously connected via Wi-Fi, then be sure to turn off wireless connection... Make sure the router is connected to your computer with a network cable only.

We open any browser and type the address in the address building 192.168.0.1 ... We pass on it. You will be prompted for a username and password to access the settings. If you have already changed them, then indicate the ones that you installed. If not, then we enter the standard - admin and admin.

So we got into the control panel of our router. Now, we just need to upload the firmware. If your settings look dark (such as in the screenshot below), then click on the button Advanced settings then on the tab System click on the button to the right and select Software Update.

If the settings are light, then on the main page, select Configure manually and then go to the tab System and Software Update.

Click on the button Overview... and select the firmware file on your computer. Click on the button Refresh.

Or like this:

The file is selected, starts the firmware update process. The update status will appear, do not touch anything. We are waiting for the router to reboot. If something freezes, then it's okay. Wait 4 minutes and refresh the page in the browser. You should see a new control panel and a request to change the password to access the settings. You can come up with your username and password (just write them down so you don't forget), or specify the same standard admin and admin.

After changing these data, you can already use them to enter the settings of the router and configure it.

Automatic firmware update via the Internet to D-Link

If your router is already configured with the Internet, then you can update the firmware much easier. You do not need to search and download the firmware file to your computer, the router will do everything by itself.

Attention. If you do not find the option of automatic software update in the settings of your router, or your control panel will differ from the one in the screenshots below, then first update the software to latest version in the way I described above.

After entering settings D-Link router, you can immediately see a message that there is a new firmware version.

A warning message will appear and the firmware update process will begin. In the process, a window may appear asking you to enter the password twice to enter the router settings. Come up with and indicate it.

After updating the firmware, the control panel may change (how I hate it)... For example, after updating my D-link DIR-615 / A to version 2.5.20, everything looks like this:

In the new version, the firmware update on D-Link is done like this:

Why not make one version of the control panel and just improve it. It would also be much easier for regular users. And so a lot different instructions and the control panels don't match anywhere.

That's it, the sewing of our DIR-615 has been successfully completed. It has the latest software version installed.

Before proceeding, check if the connection settings are correct. local network used to connect to router DIR-615... To do this, in Windows 8 and Windows 7, click right key mouse on the network connection icon in the lower right on the taskbar and select "Network and Sharing Center. general access”, It can also be found by going to the Control Panel. In the menu on the left, select "Change adapter parameters", and right-click on your connection, select "Properties". In the list of components used by the connection, select "Internet Protocol version 4 TCP / IPv4" and click "Properties". In the window that appears, you need to make sure that the following parameters are set: "Get automatically" and "Get DNS server address automatically". Apply these settings. In Windows XP, these same items are located in Control Panel - Network Connections.

Launch any of your Internet browsers and in address bar enter: 192.168.0.1 and press Enter. After that, you should see a window for entering your username and password. Standard login and password for the D-Link DIR-615 router- admin and admin respectively. If for some reason they do not fit, reset your router by pressing the RESET button and holding it until the power indicator blinks. Release and wait for the device to reboot, then re-enter the username and password.

D-Link DIR-615 firmware update

After you are logged in, you will see the page DIR-615 router settings... On this page you should select: configure manually, then - the system tab and in it "Software update". On the page that appears, indicate the path to the firmware file downloaded in the first paragraph of the instructions and click "Update".

We are waiting for the completion of the process. When finished, the browser will automatically ask you to enter your username and password again.

Algorithm for emergency recovery of the firmware of the dir 615 router:

1. Disconnect the router by pulling out the Internet cable and power supply
2. Register in the network connection settings on the computer a static IP address 192.168.0.2, a mask 255.255.255.0, a gateway 192.168.0.1, DNS 192.168.0.1
3. Connect the computer and the router through the WAN port on the router
4. Press and hold Reset on the router

9. On the page that opens, click Browse and select the original firmware file for the router
10. Click Upload and follow the instructions
11. After the appearance of the inscription "Device is Upgraiding the Firmware" 100%, you can restart the router

Latest firmware for DIR-615 router

• Revision B ftp://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-615/Firmware/RevB/
• Revision C

The D-Link DIR-615 router is widespread among users. Detailed information the page of the router tells about it. Based on this, it will be necessary and relevant to provide complete data on how the firmware is updated. of this equipment. This model has good characteristics and is suitable for organizing a wireless connection at home. We can say with confidence about it - a combination of price and quality.

When you buy a router, the firmware will already be installed on it. Depending on the release date, this may be a new or obsolete release. What software is installed in the box does not matter. If you adhere to the requirements for installing the latest releases, then just update it before configuring the router. Likewise, if the equipment has been in operation for a long time and the update has not been performed, the firmware may become out of date. In some cases, if Internet failures occur, manufacturers recommend replacing the release with the latest stable one.

Generally experienced users it is advised for new equipment to replace software immediately, but for devices that work stably for a long time, leave old version especially if there is no need to update.

It should also be noted that when updating, you should strictly follow the instructions. If you make a series of mistakes, then way back may not be, as a result, the router will turn into a brick. After downloading the new firmware version, all network setup data will have to be re-entered. If you are not completely sure that you will be able to perform these operations, you should not update the software.

A number of new functions are often encountered in new firmware versions, network operation is more debugged, bugs are fixed. In addition, changes are made to the design and ergonomics of the administration panel.

In order to determine the hardware version of the router, you need to take the device itself and turn it over. On the back side will be located the label on which is indicated the necessary information... An example is shown in the image.

For this case, you will need the information that is given after the word "Ver .:". In the given example it is K1... Other options are allowed, for example, K2.

After the version is determined and remembered, you should go to the manufacturer's server. You can do this by following the link ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-615/Firmware/. There you need to choose the version you want, in the example - “K”.

Sometimes you have to go to subfolders.

There are several folders in the directory. Usually these are old - previous releases, beta - versions of releases that have not been debugged yet. You will need to find a file that has the extension. bin. Its name will look like this: 20140711_1343_DIR_615K1_2.5.4_sdk-master.bin. the name lists for which version of the router it is intended for, when it was created, and which version of the firmware is used. It is most often located next to folders.

You will need to copy it to your personal computer. The storage location is arbitrary, a desktop or a software directory is allowed.

When the saving process is complete, you can proceed to the firmware update.

How to update the firmware of a D-Link router

Before starting the procedure, you should remember a few important rules.

1. Check that the downloaded firmware version is correct for your router. It is necessary to double-check the revision on the box and compare it with the name of the software.
2. Firmware update is performed only by cable. Wi-Fi operation is strictly prohibited.
3. The device cannot be turned off during flashing. You should also make sure that there is persistent connection with mains and food. Disabling them leads to irreparable results.

For the DIR-615 router, 4 different settings panel designs are allowed. Therefore, it will not be possible to give instructions that are universal for everyone. The example will use the most common versions. Much easier when it comes to firmware updates on Tp-Link. They have completely identical panels and parameters.

First, you need to connect the device to your computer using network cable... It is allowed to use a laptop. The basic configuration comes with a short cable. When a wireless connection was previously configured on the computer, it must be disabled. It is important that the connection is only through a cable.

After that, open your browser and enter the control section at 192.168.0.1. On the login page, provide a valid username and login key. They can be specified by you when changing parameters or remain standard. admin and admin.

When loaded home page administration panel, look at it appearance, if it looks like the picture below, then go to the tab Advanced settings. There will be a button System. There are arrows opposite the inscription to the right. You need a link Software Update.

If the design of the administration panel is in light colors, then you should select the item Configure manually. Further actions are performed in the same way. Need a tab System, chapter Software Update.

To download new firmware, you must select it on your computer. To do this, press the button Overview…. In the given directory, mark the file and click on Refresh. The update process starts.

We are closely following the process. While the update status is displayed, nothing can be touched. Wait for the router to reboot. On average, you should wait 4-5 minutes. After that, you can refresh the browser page. If the operation was successful, you will see new panel administration and a proposal to change access data.

You can use the default admin values ​​or create your own. The main thing is that they should be recorded in some place.

Automatic firmware update

If the Internet is configured on the router, then the update operation can be much easier. An update function is available on the router in automatic mode... In this case, the device will independently find the required firmware version and download it. Selection error wrong file will be excluded.

In some cases, the update function may not be available in the router settings. Or the appearance of the firmware may differ from the one shown in the example. In this case, you should first upgrade to the latest version available on the server manually.

If there is a message, then you can click on the button Refresh. After that, you will need to confirm the operation with the button Yes.

Then a warning message window will appear. The update process will start. Similarly with manual method, you will need to specify New password... It is entered twice. Indicates once, the second is confirmed.

After the update is completed, the appearance of the administration panel may differ. When the D-link DIR-615 / A model was flashed to release 2.5.20, the appearance of the settings looks like this.

In the new version, the update is available in the System tab, which is located on the left.

Users can start the process manually, or check for new versions automatically.

V in this case it is not entirely clear why every time the firmware is updated, changes are made to the design of the administration panel. There is no significant improvement in ergonomics, but the inconvenience is serious. It is much more profitable if one design option is created and bugs are fixed or functions are debugged. The appearance and arrangement of elements may differ depending on the firmware version. Now you know how to update the firmware of the D-Link DIR-615 router.

This article is dedicated to the most popular router in the domestic market of network equipment - TP-Link DIR-615. Firmware, configuration and user reviews will help any beginner get to know the wonderful router better. Will not interfere with the future owner and specifications devices, because they determine the need for a purchase.

Distinctive features of network equipment

Not every networking equipment manufacturer on the market budget devices boasts the convenient functionality of its product when choosing specific settings security and Wi-Fi distribution. D-Link Companies managed to surprise their fans with the new DIR-615 router. Firmware network device more like the children's designer- the owner decides for what purposes he needs a router. Having compiled a list of needs, the user finds the necessary software on the official website of the manufacturer and loads it into the router.

In addition to official firmware, there are many alternative options which are created by enthusiasts by hand and, as practice shows, they are no worse than original products. V last years many providers also offer users ready-made solutions in the form of firmware for the router. This approach of the ISP greatly simplifies the home environment.

The first step is the most important

Before tackling the issues of the D-Link DIR-615 router firmware, it is imperative that you do current settings. This step critical for those users who have a fully configured and functional router in their hands. By creating a backup, the owner of a network device simultaneously solves two problems: saving the settings made on their own, and the ability to return the router to the initial state(for warranty service).

For creating backup settings, you need to select the "System" section on the control panel, the "Utilities" item, and in the window that appears, find the "Save settings" button. The application, after a little thought, will return with file system user and prompts you to specify the path and name for the backup. After completing the procedure, it is recommended to reboot the router.

Customization or firmware?

Before configuring DIR-615, many owners try to download the current firmware first and install it on a network device. This step has two sides of the same coin. In the event that the router has an English-language interface, downloading the russified setting from the official website and installing it will greatly facilitate the user setup. wireless hotspot access and additional parameters security.

On the other hand, there is a certain risk of rendering the router inoperative. The usual factory defect in the form incorrect work processor or memory module may damage it. In most cases, equipment inoperability is revealed during the testing process (some element does not work). It is one thing to return a factory-made device under warranty, and the user will have a completely different story with a self-flashed device that is out of order.

Features of firmware

First of all, when downloading the firmware from the manufacturer's official website, you need to pay attention to the compliance of the revisions of the hardware and software, otherwise, if you fill in inappropriate software, you can kill the router with just one click of a button. For example, the firmware with the symbols "DIR-615 E4" in the name will be compatible only with a router with revision E4. In order to find out what revision the router has, you need to turn it upside down and pay attention to the Hardware Version marking.

The last 2-3 letters in the name of the firmware do not correspond to the localization region of the router, but only to the language support. That is, RU is Russian, BR is Brazilian, and so on. There is no binding to the local location of the network device, thanks to which many folk craftsmen, using the experience of smarter foreign programmers, create their own convenient solutions.

Step by step setup

Professionals recommend abandoning the chaotic method of setting up a router, and entering data according to a previously compiled list. Such actions will simplify the management of the router and allow you to more effectively configure the security system. home network... The first to be configured for the DIR-615 router is the Internet. Accordingly, before any action, the user must find out the type of connection with the provider's equipment. The logic here is simple:

• Internet connection is available on any device to which the cable is connected - open access;
• Internet resources are available only on one computer, which has own settings connections.

In the first case, you can safely connect the router to the computer and the provider's equipment. In the second case, you need to know the settings for the network. You can find them in the service provider or request data from

Internet connection

If the connection to the provider's equipment is created without problems, you should skip this step. The rest will have to take a course in manual setting connections. First of all on personal computer need to install automatic receipt IP addresses and DNS. The operating instructions (in notations) contain step by step algorithm actions for the user.

The DIR-615 router must be connected to a computer and logged into the control panel using any browser. The section "Internet", item "Settings" is responsible for setting up the connection. A new dialog box will offer the user two options for solving the problem: configure the router manually or use the services of an assistant. The second option is more important. There is nothing complicated in setting up: the type of connection is selected, data from the contract is entered and the "Save" button is pressed. Rebooting the router at the end of the procedure is required.

Wireless network

The second step in setting up is commissioning Wi-Fi networks... DIR-615 is one of the few routers in the budget class that provide great functionality to the user. Together with an assortment of settings, the owner receives and additional problems with a choice correct parameters... You can get to the control menu by choosing the section “ Wireless settings". It is recommended to use the algorithm:

• check the box next to "Turn on the network", defining the status "Always";
• in the “Name” column, you must specify the name of the network that will be displayed during the search (8 characters, Cyrillic is not supported);
• select the "Mixed 802.11n" operating mode for full support any devices;
• the type of encryption is better to choose "WPA" or "WPA2", and the key is set to AES;
• an important parameter is the password for the DIR-615 router, it is recommended to enter a set of numbers and letters that will not be problematic to repeat both on a laptop and on a smartphone (professionals recommend entering serial number router, it is impossible to lose it, and it is unique);
• save settings and reboot the router.

Fine tuning of network equipment

Before configuring the DIR-615 for your own tasks (for example, port forwarding), it is absolutely recommended to save the configuration file to local computer... In general, professionals recommend making a backup before each manual intervention. Taking a second in the future will help to avoid time-consuming efforts to restore the router and configure it from scratch.

Complexity of all D-Link routers in the fact that neither in the control panel nor in the operating instructions the user will find a detailed description of fine-tuning the network. However, on the official website of the manufacturer there is digital manual With detailed description all functionality. This was made by the manufacturer specifically to protect beginners from inept actions.

Problems and solutions

It is not uncommon for owners to wireless router DIR-615 firmware ends unsuccessfully (power failure or connection with a computer, software incompatibility). In 99% of cases, such a failure disables the hardware part of the network equipment, turning it into an inoperative "brick". Under the guarantee, the router cannot be handed over, therefore, at his own peril and risk, the user can resort to two options: service center or try to solve the problem yourself.

There are many ways to forcibly push new firmware into D-Link DIR-615. The easiest way is to use 16-bit D-Link programs Firmware Loader, which can be downloaded from the Internet. Only she works under the operating room Windows system 2000, and not every user will be able to "make friends" by their own efforts. The second option is no less difficult - using command line and Telnet services to manually execute a 16-bit application (there are many work instructions on the Internet on this topic).

Finally

As practice shows, for a DIR-615 wireless router, firmware and configuration are not links of the same chain. This is the functionality that requires the owner to completely different approach. For a regular user, who does not understand network equipment, is not always able to do the usual, let alone the firmware of the device. You cannot take and flash a router in one fell swoop. It may work the first time, but in most cases, inept actions bring all device owners to the service center.

As for the convenience of setting up the equipment itself and its firmware, advanced users and professionals have no complaints. There are so many proprietary software for DIR-615 on the manufacturer's official website that many device owners do not always have enough time to try all the firmwares. Each of them is unique in its own way and, of course, is 100% efficient.
