WBR-2310 disconnect/reset issues (and solution)

[ibneko]

If you have a WBR-2310 router, it might actually be a DI-624 router in disguise.

The WBR-2310 firmware is crappy - if too many connections run through it at one time (aka, if you're using BitTorrent), it'll crash and reset.

Problem:
You'll see pings slow down then time out, then if you're on wireless, the wireless connection will drop.

Solution:
Upgrade to the DI-624 Rev D firmware. This has been echoed at several places as a working fix, and this livejournal post is just to confirm that the recent DI-624 Revision D Firmware version 4.0.4, beta 44 WORKS for WBR-2310. It fixes the bittorrent problem and as far as I can tell, ping responses are much, much more stable. It would flake out a bit while deleting the useless "virtual server" applications, but once I got rid of most of them, things got better. Potentially unnecessary, but I prefer it clean.

Hello;

I stumbled upon this blog and decided to give my Dlink WBR 2310 the upgrade before I through it off the roof of my house.

I updated the DLink with DI-624 firmware version 4.04 dated Mon, 14 July 2008. I was scheptical but hopeful.

After 15 minutes of setting it up with all my DHCP assignments and MAC filtering and passwords, I was ready to go.

That was one month ago with no resets!!!!!!

I would recomend this upgrade to all.

Worked for me too. I had the WBR-2310 Rev A1 and it kept disconnecting me under network stress (though we werent using any Bitorrent client).

Anyways, lets hope it will work fine for the following days.

Thanks, that was a nice input!

I was also skeptical, but decided to change the software in my WBR-2310 to the DL624 software as described. It WORKS! I was ready to toss this router because of an increasing disconnect problem with my laptop. I didn't know if it was my laptop or the router, but when my neighbour started using my wireless and had disconnect problems it pointed to the router. I've changed ths software and it has been running fine for days now. NO DISCONNECTS. Too bad that DLINK can't get it together enough to fix their buggy software. I can only imagine how many of these things are out there with users suffering the same woes. You'd think they'd be able to release a software upgrade to fix the problem.
Thanks.

i was very weary about doing this since i was not sure if it would help or hurt my router. but after i put this fw on my dwl 2310 router it actually has not dropped my connections, and it is seemingly faster then with wbr 2310 1.05 FW
