Hardware

Pros of this hardware

  • Runs standard version of DD-WRT
  • Eight (8) wired ports
  • New Harware. 802.11n WiFi
  • Easy to install DD-WRT
  • USB Port
  • Great range, signal strength and stability

Cons of this hardware

  • This biggest knock about this router is frequent WIFI drops and lockups when using the stock firmware. DD-WRT does not have this isssue

  • Ethernet Ports = 1x WAN RJ-45 10/100 Base T, 8x LAN RJ-45 10/100 Base T, switch chip: RTL8309G
  • ROM size: 8mb <= The D-Link official rom is 7.6mb . see note.
  • RAM: 32MB
  • USB ports = 1x USB2.0, can connect to a USB hub, for more usb devices sharing.
  • USB 3G: It support D-Link its own DWM-156 3G nic.
  • Antennas = 2x antennas
  • FCC ID: KA2IR632A1 https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=640475&fcc_id=%27KA2IR632A1%27
  • Wireless standards supported: 802.11b (max. 11 Mbit/s), 802.11g (max. 54 Mbit/s), 802.11n (max. 300 Mbit/s, 2.4 GHz only)

Installation Instructions

Install Method using Firmware Update Mode

  1. Download the current firmware [1]
  2. Connect to the DIR-632 using an Ethernet cable.
  3. Setup your PC with static IP on 192.168.0.0 subnet, such as 192.168.0.2.
  4. Hold down the Reset button until the power light starts flashing yellow (under 30 sec).
  5. Open http://192.168.0.1/ in your web browser (Firefox recommended), which should open the DIR632's administrative page from the standard D-link firmware.
    1. The D-link's default login details are user "admin", password is blank.
    2. Tools -> Firmware
    3. Click "browse" button -> select the "factory-to-ddwrt_NA.bin" file -> click "Upload" button.
    4. Wait 2 or 3 minutes for the DIR-632 to flash and do the update. You will see a status page that shows you the progress as it happens. After the flash & update is done, the router will reboot to dd-wrt, and the IP address will have changed to 192.168.1.1. There is no need to reset.
  6. Open http://192.168.1.1/ in web browser. Will probably have to update your IP address (if using static IP) to this subnet to be able to connect. This should open DD-WRT's web interface. Configure DD-WRT as desired.
  7. You're finished! No need to 30/30/30 hard reset, but you can reboot your router after several minutes. (I don't know if it has to build anything in NVRAM, but better safe than sorry.)


How to reset the Router to initial DD-WRT configuration

If you forget the username or password, or if the configuration becomes really messed up, you can always clear all the non-volitile parameters by doing a 'factory reset'. To do this, with the router already fully booted, press and hold the reset button for 5~6 seconds and release. The router will boot back up and answer to 192.168.1.1 just as if it had just been flashed with DD-WRT.

How to restore to factory firmware

Don't know yet.

Common Problems

  • WPA2 does not work with iTouches.
