I always unplug the power from the modem when updating the router's firmware, then once that's done I power up the modem and let it settle down before powering up the router. It will then grant the router's MAC address a new IP, which will be different to the IP the modem issues to your PC's MAC address. I'm guessing you haven't unplugged the modem, which explains why cloning your PC's MAC is working with the router. Quote:

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
yes I deliberatly kept the modem powered up.
so the issue perhaps was I didnt let the dhcp expire. shame on the firmware upgrade procedure, I dont really fancy reconfiguring it all again, but probably later on I will do it. browsing speeds seem to stall sometimes using this router which is why I want to try and upgrade the firmware. |

I've had the most success and stable performance with DD-WRT build 14311 on my DIR-615 D2. |

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
thanks, but for now I decided to stay on this firmware. Seems stable now and performs well enough.
is a bit annoying that when reconfiguring settings it resets tcp connections but other then that seems a decent router feature wise. |
Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
I ended up upgrading :), the old 13xxx version was for the dir600 which bugged me, I did the same as paul didnt bother with the 30/30/30 rubbish and works fine.
ran that command to fix the red led and saved it as a startup command. |

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
yep thats why I added it to startup, I assume that will fix that problem. If it doesnt it will be ok I guess as I dont plan to power cycle the router and will probably be powered on for months at a time.

I've set DD-WRT to reboot the router early every morning, just to flush any possible memory leaks, etc. |
Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
is it supposed to be blue instead?
on the old 13xxx version there was no led permanently lit. on 14311 it defaults to red and reverts to blue after the command. |

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
yeah I am thinking of going back to 13xxx, as I understand it the only real issues 13xxx has is wireless, I can avoid using wireless on this router and I will just put up with it saying its a dir600. This new version seems to have occasional problems browsing and the blue light is annoying me.

Re: [GUIDE] Dir-615 to dd-wrt
Been reading about this DD-WRT update for the last few days after not being too impressed by the standard D-Link firmware and the general performance of the router.
I'm wondering though does the DD-WRT firmware really improve performance? Or does it just allow you to change more options? |

after flashing 14xxx the red stayed on all the time, I then ran a command which made it blue all the time. However I have now managed to solve it and stay on 14311, there is another command that turns it completely off again. |
