Installation Instructions
Step-by-step instructions from out-of-the-box factory firmware
DD-WRT can be flashed directly on the D-Link DIR-868L by using the D-Link webinterface:
- Download the needed 25974 beta firmware files (dir868-webflash.bin & factory-to-ddwrt.bin): http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/other-downloads?path=betas (betas › 2015 › 01-20-2015-r25974 › dlink-dir868l)
- Open the D-Link web-interface in your web browser (address: http://192.168.0.1), Log In, and go to Tools -> Firmware *Warning: only flash over an Ethernet-cable
- Select factory-to-ddwrt.bin and click the "Upload"-button
- After flashing successfully, the router address should be changed into http://192.168.1.1
- Upgrade the router (again) by using the dir-868-webflash.bin firmware
- Note: The router doesn't support Hard Reset (aka 30/30/30 reset), use the Erasing NVRAM method instead.
Common Problems
OpenVPN
If using the inbuilt OpenVPN-server in tunnel-mode, you may need to use the following firewall rules:
iptables -A INPUT -i vlan2 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i tun2 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i tun2 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i tun2 -o vlan2 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i vlan2 -o tun2 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o vlan2 -j MASQUERADE
- Note 1: Verify that the interfaces are correct by running the ifconfig command
- Note 2: You may need to adjust the above IP-address (& netmask)
The following Additional DNSMasq Options may also be needed, to stop DHCP(-service) on the tunnel-port:
interface=tun2 no-dhcp-interface=tun2
D-Link DDNS
D-Link offers router owners a free dynamic DNS host name service. This service works (surprisingly) without any problems on the dd-wrt firmware:
DDNS Service | DynDNS.org |
---|---|
Username | Your username (no email-address) |
Password | Your Password |
Hostname | <hostname>.dlinkddns.com |
Type | Dynamic |
IP Check | Yes *only when needed |
A working state should give verification messages, like this one:
Thu Jan 22 23:11:21 2015: INADYN: Started 'INADYN Advanced version 1.96-ADV' - dynamic DNS updater. Thu Jan 22 23:11:21 2015: INADYN: IP read from cache file is 'x.x.x.x'. No update required.
