| 839756 | 2009-12-15 10:12:00 | So what is it? a DSL G604T?? If it is, the firmware update doesnt say anything about telnet, or ask for a password. Since you load it from within the router's settings. Did he download it from the Dlink site?? Did he buy this modem or is it one of telecom's routers?? If its one of xtra's there are no updates for it. There's only updates for the other DSL-G604T (GenII), which is here (www.dlink.com.au). From the Dlink site How to recover router with corrupt firmware If your modem/router is not responding after changing some settings in it or after unsuccessful firmware upgrade, please try the below steps. Download the latest Firmware for your modem/router. Choose the EXE version of firmware as opposed to WEB version. The steps after Step 6 are only applicable to EXE version of firmware. Step 1. Try resetting the router to factory defaults by pressing the Reset button at the back of the router for 10 seconds. The router' power should be on when you are pressing the button. Step 2. Set your computer with static IP address. To do that go to Start > [Settings] > Control Panel > [Network and Internet Connection] > Network Connections > Local Area Connection > Properties. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on the Properties button. Specify the following settings: IP address: 10.1.1.99 Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0 Default Gateway: 10.1.1.1 Preferred DNS: 10.1.1.1 Alternate DNS: 4.2.2.2 DNS server addresses can be replaced with your ISP's DNS addresses. Step 3. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus protection on your computer. To disable WindowsXP built-in firewall go to Start > Control Panel > [Network and Internet Connection] > Network Connections > Local Area Connection > Properties > Advanced > Settings. Set Firewall to OFF. If you have some other firewall and antivirus software installed, please refer to the software manuals on how to disable it. Step 4. Make sure that the router is on. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (blue network cable) to your router and another end to your hub/switch. Your computer should also be connected to the hub/switch. If you do not have a hub/switch, connect the other end of the cable directly to your computer's network adapter. Step 5. Click on Start > Run and type 'cmd'. Click OK. In the black DOS prompt type the following commands finishing each one with Enter: arp 10.1.1.1 -d arp 10.1.1.1 -d arp 10.1.1.1 -d ping 10.1.1.1 -t You may see messages like 'Entry was not found', it is normal. You should see repeated message 'Request timed out'. If you are seeing 'Reply from 10.1.1.1', your router is already responding. Step 6. (Note: this step is not suitable for Windows Vista) Launch the Firmware Upgrade Utility (the EXE version of the firmware) by double-clicking on it. When firmware upgrade window pops up, select the 'Corrupted Image Mode' option and click Next. You will be prompted to disconnect power from your modem/router. Disconnect the power cable from your modem router and after about 10 seconds click Next. You will be prompted to connect power back to your modem/router. Connect the power cable to the modem/router within 10 seconds. Firmware upload will proceed automatically after that. Click on the Finish button to complete the upload. Your DOS window should now be displaying continuous messages 'Reply from 10.1.1.1'. Step 7. Repeat Step 5. Then try to log into your router via http://10.1.1.1. You will be prompted to enter username and password. Username: admin, password: admin. You can now configure your router for your Internet connection under Home > WAN. Once finished with the settings, click on Apply and then save the settings into the router's memory under Tools > [System] > Save & Reboot. Troubleshooting If during firmware upload procedure you got a message 'FTP Timeout. The device IP address is 192.168.12.199' (address may vary). Close the firmware update utility. Disconnect power from your modem/router. Set your computer with a different IP address as suggested in the message (in this example it is 192.168.12.100. Then repeat the above procedure starting from Step 4. After finishing uploading firmware (before Step 7), change your computer's IP address back to 'Obtain an IP address automatically'. After loading firmware the modem/router's IP address will be 10.1.1.1. |

If you don't know the username & password, simply ring up the ISP. Other than that, I would imagine there would be nothing else, if he cannot recall changing any other settings for connectivity. | Chris09 (15218) | ||
| 839758 | 2009-12-15 11:02:00 | The firmware upgrade script that comes with OpenWRT can also recover some D-link routers, as long as the ADAM2 bootloader is still working. If everything else is trashed it can still reflash it. Other than that, you can use a JTAG cable |

| 839759 | 2009-12-15 20:50:00 | Civic checked the label with the info from Dlink on it and it is a DSL-G04T/AU. Been looking on the NZ/AUS Dlink site but cannot find it. Any ideas? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 839760 | 2009-12-15 21:05:00 | I just got him to check the label again and turns out that there was a smudge covering the 6 in the model number | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 839761 | 2009-12-15 21:14:00 | It's a DLINK DSL G04T and we got it when we switched over to Ihug (now Vodafone) So guessing speedy that Vodafone does not have its own firmware? |

| 839762 | 2009-12-15 22:02:00 | Telecom had slightly modified firmware for the old DSL-302G but I haven't seen any DSL-G604T that had customised firmware www.dlink.co.nz It'll be in the list somewhere |

| 839763 | 2009-12-16 03:39:00 | Ok back online now and Nedkelly was able to fix everything! Turns out the firmware had to be installed using XP and not Vista so the update I done corrupted the current one and left us without a connection. |

| 839764 | 2009-12-16 03:45:00 | The only firmware on the dlink site was telecom's . Unless vodafone have their own on their site, dunno. Must be completely different (if you brought this modem). Since you dont use telnet, you upgrade it through tools / firmware, in the router | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 839765 | 2009-12-16 03:52:00 | I got the firmware from the Dlink Site with this link www.dlink.com.au and choosing the exe, and NedKelly seemed to have the same one as well. We got the modem with Ihug (now Vodafone) and upgraded it through this exe rather then the modem's ip address in the browser. |
