Hi,
Is it possible that this router will soon be included on your database?
Thanks!

Hi, DD-WRT, please let me know as the database for DD-WRT still doesn't show D-Link DIR-815. Please let me know incase, I can use alternate firmware or other way of making my router as wireless bridge. If available, please suggest. I have two routers and want to use DD-WRT. Thanking you in anticipation. Can someone please respond on this thread about the experience. thank you once again in advance

Dear DD-WRT Guru

Thanks for sharing the link. However, this link do not have Dlink Dir-815 in this list. Can you please provide an update on that or some other alternative to make Dlink-dir-815 as wireless bridge. Will be highly appreciated.

It's not on the list of supported devices.
www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

Also there is 3 hardware versions of this router (A1, B1 and C1)

Per Yngve Berg,

thanks for your answer but you are not answering user pearl's question.

Even though the device is not on the supported device list, it is also not on the list of known incompatible devices and absent from the router database. It's also absent from the FTP link you provided.

So either no one bothered to test DD-WRT on the D-Link DIR-815 rev A1 router, or the database hasn't been updated with the test results.

By following the procedure listed here and using the router's info you provided, I'm not seeing any hints that the device wouldn't be compatible with DD-WRT. The device's chipset is Ralink and there seems to be enough RAM/Flash memory.

I have an 815 H/W version B and would be willing to test potentially compatible firmware.

I think this router may have been a Canadian version of a US model. Anyone have any ideas as to which one?? That may help finding a compatible firmware.

As Per Yngve Berg pointed out, there are three versions of DIR-815, A1, B1 and C1 and their hardware details can be found at wikidevi:

https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/D-Link_DIR-815

The three versions use completely different hardware for CPU, RF chips as well as ETH and SW chips and you will find that all those chips are not commonly used for other models as shown on the Supported Devices List: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

Although I have no idea why dd-wrt is not ported to DIR-815, the fact is that it is not supported as yet and it is pointless to try builds from other models on DIR-815 as the hardware is so much difference. I can't guarantee that doing so will brick the router but it is possible.

[vonnie99]

Thanks for the clarification JS. Given the age of this model, I suspect the chances of a port are fairly slim then...

[Per Yngve Berg]

Yes, not supported. No router that uses that chipset have never been supported by dd-wrt.

[d-linkdir815]

I know this subject hasn't been looked at since 2014, but I own a Dir-815 and I would like to use this software to make it a network adapter, but I don't even know if it is possible because it is neither listed as compatible nor incompatible on this website or any others.

Please respond soon
Thanks.


EDIT: I have the B1 model if that matters to anyone

[kernel-panic69]

It's not supported. Nobody has done the homework or donated hardware to get it supported, obviously. None of these have ever been supported by DD-WRT.

I will not toss any red balls around to point you into any direction for unofficial support since you may brick the device and that would not be good.
