Good news for DB120-WL user! stren89 make me curious and I start research about Riger DB120-WL hardware used.
This will improve your DB120-WL Ethernet, Wireless and ADSL by using latest driver provided by TP-Link, straight improve DB120-WL efficiency. Click here to see inside Riger DB120-WL!
I have 2 Riger DB120-WL at home, I got extra one because I accept TM upgrade offer last time.

Before proceed, take this precaution.
1. This applicable only Riger DB120-WL (Silver) with Firmware Riger V .4 installed by default.
2. Before proceed updating, please connect your computer directly via LAN Cable to DB120-WL
3. This may void your warranty (maybe not, since you didn't open the case)
4. Doing at your own risk!

If your DB120-WL still have warranty and scare get broken, I suggest you follow, stren89 guide.

Important Change!
You need to accept this awkward changes, because LED driver operate at different signal. You need to learn:


Easy Guide start here:
Read carefully to avoid invalid or mistake during updating

9. Improve Wireless Security + Device Security
After flashing and login with old password "Adm@XXXX", simply reset to factory default, this will:
1. Remove extra Virtual or Guest Wireless/AP, leaving only one.
2. Using default TP-Link settings, including default username and password (admin, admin)
3. Overall stability!

After update the firmware, still having backdoor of the hidden unsecured non-broadcast SSID. Any more new firmware can solve the issue?

Hi, so this backdoor service will increase my internet speed? Try to read bout backdoor but quite hard to understand 

I already test all v5 firmware update. This is my experience:

TD-W8951_V5_140226 - not too much speed differences with default riger setting

TD-W8951_V5_140306 - boost the download and upload speed by more than 40x faster. But not for too long, download speed back to regular and leave upload speed still boost up to 40x faster.

TD-W8951ND_V5_141114 - cant access the internet whatever i do.

TD-W8951ND_V5_160113 - internet only can be access by cable with speed almost 50x faster on download and upload, but wireless is pretty much useless because wifi not detectable whatever i do.

So now im using TD-W8951_V5_140306 firmware. Its such a pain to watch the download still like before and upload now just about 10x faster.
I dont know where is my mistake, i follow all the suggested steps.
What i know clearly is im having a headache    lol.
