No WAN Access

[curnil]

Hi

I have installed the firmware on my dir-825 and have done the basic setup.

We can connect to our router but have no access to the Internet. It seems to be reporting that we Dns servers are not responding.

I have a static ip address from my ISP and have entered all the details on the connection screen. However I'm not sure why this isn't working.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Most broadband modems tie the hardware device to the original
IP issued to your router, but when you flash different firmwares to
the router, sometimes the modem does not see it as the same device.

Power off your router and broadband modem for about 10-15 minutes,
then power on the modem, let that initialize, then power on the router.

See if you can get connectivity that way.

The 10-15 minutes is necessary to drain modem power completely
and for it to "forget" settings so that it has to re-download the
ISP's config file and reset connections.

Hi Doesitmatter,

Thanks for your help. I tried that but still nosuccess. what I am seeing is that when I have switched the firmware over to Gargoyle and done the setup, the power light on my router stays orange and the WAN light does not light up at all. As soon as I revert to dlink firmware the power light and WAN light both turn blue.

This is really frustrating. Is there any other firmware that has the functionallity of this product that works?

What hardware revision of the DIR-825 do you have?

Openwrt only support hardware revisions A & B

There is a C-Series hardware version that does not seem to be
supported yet, but maybe in the future.

Also - I noticed on your screenshots above, that the date/time
is not correctly updating, so there are some DNS issues going on.

I can send you one of the latest compiles of OpenWRT - 33595
for your DIR-825 (as long as its Rev A / B hardware) and it has the
Luci GUI interface, so you can try that and see if it works any better.

Let me know if you want a copy of the firmware.

Thanks,

I have the dir-825 bg versionof the router.

I am connecting to a dpc3008 modem supplied by Telstraclear in NZ.

I am happy to have a look at the other firmware. The feature that I really want to use is the Bandwidth Quota, will this other firmware do that?

HW Rev CPU Ram Flash Network Gigabit USB
B1/B2 Atheros AR7161@680MHz 64MB 8MB 4x1 Yes Yes
C1 Atheros AR9344@560MHz 128MB 16MB 4x1 Yes Yes

Not sure what the bg version is

Do you have 8MB Flash / 64MB Ram?

Or do you have 16MB Flash / 128MB Ram?

What does it show on the main info page of the D-Link firmware?

Oh - also - you were using 1.5.6 version of Gargoyle.

Have you tried Gargoyle version 1.5.7? Huge update with this version!

Make sure you reset to defaults!
