| 324096 | 2005-03-11 02:05:00 | I have a D-Link DSL302g adsl modem/router (not sure which to call it - some people call it a modem and tell me its not a router, other people tell me its a router...) Anyway, in the process of trying to change some settings to allow port-forwarding of certain ports I discovered that it won't let me save any settings, apart from the username/password/initial ADSL connection settings on the first config page. Every other page (well those that I've tried anyway) if I try to change a setting I get an "Invalid Command" error, and the setting doesn't change. I took the modem back to Dick Smith because they advertise that they do straight swaps for networking equipment, and I figured that they could just swap it for a new one (don't want to sit around for 2-3 weeks waiting for the thing to be fixed, with no internet etc.). However as DSE no longer stock that particular modem, they can't do a straight swap, and I'll have to pay extra to get a different one (because they're more expensive than what I paid, on special, to get the 302g in October)... So I'm hoping I can somehow fix the problem without having to fork out extra for a new modem/router. I have downloaded the 2 firmware files from the NZ/AU D-Link site and applied each of those, which didn't help. And I'm not sure what else to try now. Any suggestions? Thanks, Midavalo. I may know what your problem is cos I had the same problem, but first of all....did you get your router from xtra? If you did or did not, this is maybe WHY you CANT change settings. Do not install the xtra or any other CD that comes with the router. I couldnt remove the software from my computer but lucky to be able to reinstall my operating system cos I dont have any needed stuff on it anyway. I reinstalled the operating system and just plugged in the ethernet cable to my computer (of course you have to plug in the other cords to your router) then went to http://10.1.1.1 I can change my settings now. I rang D-link previously to this and they said that Xtras software installs something over the router to stop you from fiddling with it, they however didnt say that I just needed to remove the software, they told me to buy a new router the buggers (which of course I didn't) so after long hours of trying to work this out, I hope it works for you :) Cheers |
