DSL-G604T repaired!
Re: DSL-G604T repaired!
Excellent. Managed to get it hooked up to Orange UK instead of my livebox and appears to work just as well! Only one thing, there is a high pitched whining noise when the ADSL modem is on. Any ideas what this would be? Its an old router so not surprised. Just wondering if a different microfilter or something would help... Cant see how I would get rid of it.

You can try a different dsp driver (e.g., dsp62A).

This router died again but I've just managed to unbrick it and update to the latest firmware after 3 hours of trying!thechief wrote:Save this into a text file, and run it as a script with the pctoolThat will restore your environment. Then reboot the router, connect with the pctool again, and flash the RT firmware, and all should be well. Most likely, this would have cured any fragmentation of the environment!Code: Select all

I had a question about the details above though...
The router doesn't have any USB ports so are these details necessary? This is only out of curiosity...
setenv usb_board_mac 00.0d.88.22.03.02
setenv usb_man D-Link
setenv usb_pid 0x5b00
setenv usb_prod DSL-302T
setenv usb_rndis_mac 00.0d.88.11.03.02
setenv usb_serial 1234567890
setenv usb_vid 0x2001
Also, on the system diagnostics this is what I have:
Ethernet port 1: disconnected/inactive.
Ethernet port 2: disconnected/inactive.
Ethernet port 3: disconnected/inactive.
Ethernet port 4: disconnected/inactive.
But ethernet port 1 is in use and working... any ideas?
One last thing!
If I ran this command on the router (within the firmware, under System -> Run Command) would it then list the serial number in the diagnostics?
setenv SerialNumber XXXX

Re: DSL-G604T repaired!
Our firmware won't use those entries if you don't have a USB port - so, in that respect they serve no useful purpose. I don't know about your booloader - it may set those values again, even if you delete them.dom_b wrote:The router doesn't have any USB ports so are these details necessary?

The vagaries of the Marvell switch emulation on different switches. What is the output of these commands?dom_b wrote:Also, on the system diagnostics this is what I have:

Code: Select all
cat /proc/avalanche/marvell/1
cat /proc/sys/dev/marvell/1
It should. But it also depends on whether your bootloader will overwrite that value when you reboot.dom_b wrote:If I ran this command on the router (within the firmware, under System -> Run Command) would it then list the serial number in the diagnostics?

Don't worry about this! For some reason I thought the details were from another router and you just said set thos values as they would work, but I see from my early posts this was the original config so thats correct.

I'm having the same problem.
I recovered my G604T with the latest RT firmware and now it is really noisy.
What do you mean with your sentence?
Could somebody change the title of the 3D? it may be interesting for other people.
Bye.

Re: DSL-G604T repaired!
Hi TheChief,
thanks for the link.
I did a try with the different driver present in the drivers folder, in my case 70A and 75A but I still have the whining noise as soon as the modem is on.
Do you see any other way to fix this?
Thanks!
Daniele

Re: DSL-G604T repaired!
The high pitched sound sometimes happens because the modern dsp drivers are working the chipset harder. Going down to dsp v5.x or 4.x may improve the situation - but we have not released a firmware with those dsp drivers for a very long time. If you don't want to backtrack to a very old firmware, then you will have to live with the whining. You can try manually setting the modulation to something like adsl g.dmt, which will make the system run slower - but I'm not sure if that will solve the problem.

Re: DSL-G604T repaired!
Hi,
I did some try with different modulation but there is no way to reduce the whining noise.
Just an additional thing: where can I found the original firmware for my DSL-G604T? can I flash it with pctool as I did with RT FW?
It is just to see if I can at least use this router or if I should trash it directly.
Regards,
Daniele

Re: DSL-G604T repaired!
You have to look on D-Link sites for D-Link firmwares. If you find the appropriate D-Link firmware, you should be able to flash it with the PCTool.

Re: DSL-G604T repaired!
if you are comfortable opening it up
add a drop of superglue to each toroidal coils you see on the chipset board
google toroidal coils / choke

Re: DSL-G604T repaired!
Thanks for your suggestion.
I'll ask somebody from electronic department of my company to do it.
But, what is exactly the reason to put super glue?
How will it act over the coils?
Is it safety?
Thanks a lot!!!!
