D'Link DIR-505L

Post by alanlara83 »

Hi!

Cannot install on DIR-505L, from factory stock firmware, tried the factory bin to gargoyle. :cry: Already tried normal and emergency flash mode, but always get the "not a valid firmware file"error.

What can I do?

Already tried. "Firmware.bin" for instance. Still no success :?

Have you checked the integrity of the image file you downloaded with the sig? and/or redownload the image file.

Are you putting it into D-Link recovery mode and using the factory.bin file as described in the OpenWRT wiki?

If yes to both, the only other thing I can suggest is using a different web browser. One of my D-Link's recovery mode only liked Internet Explorer... and I think Firefox.
QoS Tip: Don't complicate your QoS settings. Gargoyle evenly splits available bandwidth between active devices as needed. Just delete all your classification rules and leave only one normal service class and you're done. No more arguing over bandwidth.
