I also had on my DDR-825 Firmware 15279. I proceeded as instructed and uploaded the files back. Flashing lights well.
Now to me but not my router's firmware DD-WRT. When I connect the router to the computer and the router does not allocate an IP address. The computer remains the "initialization" network. I note that in all my network settings set to automatic.
I also tried wifi-it also can not.
But once you upload to the router manufacturer's official firmware, the router works perfectly well!
Could someone advise me what is wrong? I want to be back on your router DD-WRT.

Hey
I own the DIR-825 vB1 with DD-WRT firmware and wanted to attach a 24dbi grid antenna 2.4GHz. However, I only purchased one grid antenna and attached it to the router. Using the grid antenna, the router does seem to detect many access points. But when I try to connect to the access points the signal is basically zero. The snr number ranged around 9 to 10. On the other hand, if I directly connect the grid antenna to my wireless pci card, I am able to connect to the access points with 2 bars in windows 7. The signal in windows 7 is rated as fair. Additionally, the grid antenna's position has been in the same place for the router and wireless card test.
I have also notices with the DIR-825 router that one antenna port tends to detect more access points than the other antenna port.
So should I have two 2.4GHz grid antennas to make the router work or do I only need one 2.4GHz grid antenna? At the moment one 2.4 GHz antenna is not working.
OR
Do I need two dual band antennas to have the router work correctly or only one dual band antenna?

Are you running 15334 on the DIR825? Your signature doesn't list it, but this thread is about the DIR825.
Tatsuya46 is a well-known member of this board and signatures aren't necessarily updated for every device/revision he (or we) makes. I don't think he needs to be told the subject of this forum; it's poor form to chastise a guru without reading his prior posts to learn, quite quickly, he knows of what he speaks. Most of the time. _________________ WRT1900AC

You've installed a buggy version of the firmware, which has since been pulled. That firmware corrupts the caldata portion of the bootrom and the repair procedures necessary to recover functionality of the boot loader with DD-WRT can be found here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=488243#488243 _________________ WRT1900AC

Your comment is totally unnecessary and a waste of electrons. I spent hours trying to restore one of my routers and succeeded with what I believe was a post from Tatsuya46 (restoring caldata). I am not going to risk another 5hrs to fix a router without asking first for confirmation we are talking about the same device. If you took my post as offensive, sorry - but it is your problem... I was pointing out the incongruence between signature and thread title so others and myself won't be left wondering what device he was talking about or worse tempted to upgrade our DIR825 just to brick it again.

Don't worry, no electrons were wasted in the creation of his post or any other post on this thread. They were just moved around. _________________ E3000
DIR-825 ver. B1
WRT-300N ver.1
The computers ARE able to negotiate a DHCP lease from the primary router. I'm able to ping locally across the bridge. Able to ping the gateway.
Unable to ping ip or fqdn addresses on the internet. I have statically assigned DNS, no change. I have statically assigned IP and DNS, no change.
This has been an ongoing problem for the past 6 months, having tried with every build as well.
I have four devices (WNDR3700 w/DD-WRT build 14929, DIR-825b w/DD-WRT build 14929, DIR-655, Actiontek/FiOS MI424WR-GEN2 router w/firmware 20.10.7.) I've tried every combination I can think of, obviously with the FiOS router as the gateway.
I was hoping to bridge the WNDR3700 and DIR-825b using the 5ghz radio and one of them, doesn't matter which one, connected to the FiOS router via patch cable.

Build 15334 will not brick your router. I'm having a little problem with a custom start-up script and have reported it on ticket #1754. You're not likely to be effected by this.

Try decaf. And where's your signature? This forum is about the DIR-825; it'd be a shame if you and others were left wondering about which device you were using or, worse, tempted to upgrade your DIR-825 just to brick it again. _________________ WRT1900AC

My sig are routers I own not routers I use... I gave my DIR-825 to my friend so he can for once have a proper working router. I pretty much do all the managing with it and upgrade it remotely half the time. _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

I am having some trouble getting DD-WRT onto my D-Link DIR-825 B1
I've tried both the firmware version listed on the downloads page and 15334.
I power cycle the router 3 times as is mentioned countless times on this site and get to the "Firmware Upgrade System". At this point, I select the factory-to-ddwrt_NA.bin file and submit it. The file uploads and the screen hangs indefinitely. The power LED continues blinking orange. If I power cycle the router, it comes up with the default firmware.
I've gone over the instructions several times with the same effect. I'd appreciate any assistance.
