I have 3 PC's attached to it, one of which is linked to a VPN site whilst the others are jsut connected through my ISP to the Internet. In looking at the Status screen it shows me some information when I turn the Router on that it is downstreaming at 1880 Kbps and Upstreaming at 448Kbps but after a while that changes to -1 and -1 Kbps. Also the Firmware Version field gets blanked out as does the Modulation field and Gateway. It looks like it just cannot get at the data from the router. The error log shows a number of 'IOCTL Get HWADDR failed' messages then followed by 'cannot open /proc/net/route', 'cannot open /etc/resolv.conf', 'Unable to open DSL proc entry'.
I'm hoping your firmware to replace the DLink one will fix the problem but before I install it I am trying to follow your guide to run the Router Upgrade Checker. In checking the parts that are needed, I find some files are installed whilst others are not and in a couple of cases there is more than one of the required files loaded!
Trying to run your RUC in debug mode also fails right at the start.
My question really I guess is if I upgrade to your Firmware can I recover to the D-Link firmware if an error occurs? If that is not an issue then I am quite prepared to load it and see as I have nothing fancy set in the router that I cannot recover from, it is basically a bog standard set up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and please do not assume that I know how to check many of the items you talk about such as finding if a port is available. Many thanks in advance.
