I have had nothing but trouble from router i hate em so i need to try and fix this router but i can open it's webpage at all really pissing me off i just want it to work anyhelp would be great

Have you try a hard reset? Hold down the reset button for 30 seconds then remove the power cable while still holding down the reset button for 30 more seconds. Finally, while still holding down the reset button, plug the power cable back in for 30 seconds and let go. It's a DLink, it's a lost cause. Just get an Asus and install Tomato firmware.

ya its a dstink i had an asus and it was screwed from the get go i have the worst luck with routers thanks will try

[gingerbee]

ok well a hard reset didn't work what i cant understand is the router is working as in all networked attached cables work fine i cant get access to the router from it page and there no wireless at all really getting sick and tired of dlink crap i have gone through more routers then is normal i mean 3 in the last 3 years. really pissing me off

[gingerbee]

does anyone even know how i can flash it say through the usb port to get it back to the stock firmware so at-least i don't have to spend money i don't have have.

crap thing is this router is just over a year old it's a dlink dir 645 whole home router

Dlink when update firmware need to shut off wifi before updating any unit of thiers

[gingerbee]

well great would have been nice for them to tell me but now i cant access the webpage and the wireless doesnt work at all. this will be the last time i buy anything dlink i have had nothing but problems with there crap adn it should be under warranty but no hell i would have been happy with dropped connections every now and then compared to this

[gingerbee]

in fact now that i think about it at no point was there any mention of it so sick of routers ahhhhhhhhhh lol

[KaptCrunch]

what happen if router port 1 hooked (using stright cable not cross wired) only to computer what does ipconfig report

yeah update firmware isn't for novices, seems like a trick question

with flashing any router need to shut off wifi for it will interupt process

same as bios firmware in windows need to do in pure dos

This should work to flash over, just use the proper file. Should work on your asus too if it died from bad flash
