Having the routing problem? Download fixed firmware here

***James*** · 31/07/2009, 22:06

If anyone is having the issue whereby their Netgear/D-Link router is randomly losing routing even though all lights are on and the status page says Connected, you can try upgrading the firmware on your router to the appropriate one below.

These firmwares are modified versions of the official GPL release from Netgear/D-Link (they are not the dgteam or other third-party build). For peace of mind, the only thing I have changed before building these firmwares is 4 new lines in the router startup script:

Code:

# temp fix for ADSL24 LLU service 31/07/2009
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/ucast_solicit
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/all/ucast_solicit
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/nas0/ucast_solicit

Anyone tried James' fix yet? Would be useful to post back here the router you're using and confirm successful in your own case - or any issues encountered.

James, don't want to seem ungrateful

but as some of us with GT's have reverted to firmware 1.02.16, is there any chance you could prepare an image file for that version?

If Netgear still allow me to download that source version I should be able to compile it for you

v1.02.16 adsl4 firmware now installed on my DG834GT and sync'd up. Had to reset router to factory defaults and start from scratch, as when I flashed over the top of my existing settings I kept getting error message whilst trying to access the wireless settings page. Might have had something to do with running DGTeam firmware beforehand. Didn't make a note of the error message but it was something like unable to load <filename.htm>

Will keep you posted on progress, both cabled and wireless.

Why did you choose these 3 lines of code?
Was it a catch-all approach?

The problem I have is that they work.

On the router I am using (vlan1 substitutes for nas0), the three lines manipulating the unicast response work, but the first line, affecting the WAN interface alone, does not.

Yep, it was to be safe, as just changing echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/nas0/ucast_solicit did not work.

I think it copies the setting from echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/ucast_solicit

You aren't supposed to load it into Winzip, you're supposed to load it into your router via the router's web interface upgrade page.

If you have any issues with any of these firmwares please let me know. __________________ ----------------- ISP Manager ADSL24
