D-link DSL-504T genII - trouble upgrading firmware
Posted: Thu May 02, 2013 12:50 am
Hi,
We bought a near-new D-link DSL-504T "gen II" modem still with its initial 2006 firmware, namely V3.02B01T01.AU-A.20061225 .. which basically works modulo a few annoying warts, but many issues have been resolved in the 7 firmware upgrades since, the last two being V3.02B01T01.AU.20090415 and V3.02B01T01.AU.20100118 .. so I wanted to upgrade it.
After quite a struggle with the D-link .au website I found the correct directories for the correct rev C WEB version, being Firmware_V3.02B01T01.AU.20090415_WEB for downloading file
DLinkAU_DSL-504T_singleimage_kernel_fs_V3.02B01T01.AU.20090415
and Firmware_V3.02B01T01.AU.20100118_WEB for downloading file
DLinkAU_DSL-504T_singleimage_kernel_fs_V3.02B01T01.AU.20100118
However choosing either of these downloaded files for the firmware upgrade procedure only responds with "The file you chosen is invalid" ono and does nothing. There are none of the earlier versions on the website, and in theory any later version than that fitted should work. Yes I did factory-reset the modem first as advised, all done by the book. I downloaded them again and checked their sameness with diff.
I had no trouble upgrading our DSL-G604T in completely similar fashion from the same machine with the downloaded file DLinkAU_DSL-G604T_singleimage_kernel_fs_V2.00B12.AU_20070509
Does anyone have a spare clue to lend me?
cheers, Ian
