Wireless ADSL router upgrade

Posted by Treg in Tech

I year ago, I decided to upgrade my wireless ADSL router (Dlink DSL-G604T) with some new firmware. Unfortunately the firmware was and is still up-to-date (firmware from 2004). I wanted some fixes and extra features so I searched on the Internet for new firmware. I found some newer UK firmware. After the upgrade, the router seemed to be dead. Nothing worked like it should be. With a telnet session, I succeeded to fix things and I could bring up the http server. Restoring some EU version firmware did the trick.

Recently, the source code of the software on the router has been released. Some people in Australia have been developing and bugfixing this software. At the moment I’m running the software successfully on my router. A great new feature of this soft ‘s the support for ADSL2+ connections. I hope this version runs as stable as the one before.
