I was on 2.07TM,download the firmware,update the 2.08middle.bin first,then will updated to 2.08TM,

after that update again with 2.09 one

my dlink is by default on 2.08TM firmware, so i just need to use 2.09TM firmware? no need for 2.08TM middle bin ?

I think no need,can just direct to 2.09

How can i revert back to old firmware (from 2.09TM to 2.07TM)?

Why u want to do that?

why not 2.08TM? this is the last good firmware before the bug announcement.

How to set ethernet?

Sorry, not sure how as I do not have this particular router and I don't really understand your question.

No need to be sorry haha
I'm asking how to set the ethernet ip address, I've Google it, I think the one I'm looking were correct.

Thanks bro, it helps a lot! Manage to flash back to the older firmware and then flash to the newest one. Currently everything was good!

Hey, is this firmware strictly for Unifi or can also be use on Time's router?

you mean dns?

Glad it worked for you bro

IP address, not DNS.

I don't recommend to use the 2.09TM. That is because this firmware has caused terrible internet connection especially wifi. My home LAN style, i prefer to use DHCP with pre-assigned IP. I don't set the IPs at the devices but only at the router. This firmware cannot do that that affect the internet connection. Finally I revert back to 2.08TM. I can set 14 IPs manually at the router in the 2.08TM. Not the 2.09TM. I also faced some problem related to IPv6 in the 2.09TM. My network printer that can support IPv6 cannot receive IP from the router.

If anyone here want to revert back to 2.08TM, switch off the router, hold the reset button several seconds until the one of the LEDs is blinking. Then you can access the router's page (emergency/recovery), http://192.168.0.1 and flash the firmware.

Looks like D-Link Malaysia's problem. They didn't test the firmware properly. I also tried to use the 2.20v, from D-Link international. It is beta, can connect to internet but weirdly cannot set manual dynamic DNS. Arghh, looks like D-Link worldwide, not only Malaysia is problematic to me.

Generally, this router s***ssssss big time. I'm used to TP-LINK router.

In TP-LINK
1. If i want to change my DNS server, the router will simply disconnect and reconnect.
2. Reboot/configuration update countdown are accurate. After the countdown, simply F5 and you will see your web interface.
3. No problem with having many (I'm talking about less than 20) fixed IP in DHCP.
4. Generally, snappy interface.

In D-LINK
1. If i want to change DNS server, the router will reboot. This takes longer time.
2. Reboot/configuration update countdown are not accurate. You have to F5 several time after the countdown at the no internet connection page.
3. Several problems in several model of routers. I'm lucky to find that 2.08TM of the DIR-850L doesn't have this problem.
4. Slower than TP-LINK but not too slow. Looks buggy.

If only TP-LINK produce their own Network Attached Storage (NAS) I will make sure there is no D-LINK product in my house. Considering to replace my DIR-850L soon but still use my DNS-320L NAS by D-Link.

Just change your NAS to Synology..
Using Synology, the best..

About the DIR-850L, i already put aside, and bought TP-Link Archer C9..

Yes, u r right. TP-Link is definitely better than D-link. I'm considering one of their MU-MIMO routers (Archer C9 is not MU-MIMO)

Synology is one of the best NAS manufacturers. I'm considering to try their 10Gbps NAS to cater our home LAN requirements (a lot of 4K streaming, local backup, bluray encoding etc. through the LAN). Thank God we dont need Plex server running. Otherwise, i7-grade NAS (desktop) is a must to encode/re-encode the 4K videos on-the-fly.

At this stage MU-MIMO is more of a marketing gimmick to inflate pricing.

"For most cases, it provides no significant benefit. And in other cases, it can result in degraded Wi-Fi throughput."

If I am not mistaken Archer C9 does not support 10Gbps, making a 10Gbps NAS kinda pointless I think. You may want to consider instead a router capable of link aggregation for you NAS needs

Sorry for dragging the discussion away from the originally intended by the OP.

For the case of MU-MIMO, Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are the perfect example for the degradation issues. They are 2016 flagship phones. Newer phones with MU-MIMO are just fine. One of the example is in the article posted, Google Pixel. So, in this case, I (not only me, but a lot of others) blame Samsung (or the chipset maker) for not really following the standard in MU-MIMO. Thats why Samsung do not advertise S7 as MU-MIMO capable device. Only S8.

For the Archer C9, of course dude! There is no router (at least for home user) currently have 10 Gbps ethernet ports. But this doesn't mean that home user cannot have 10 Gbps LAN connection. You can simply connect the router (any router) to 10 Gbps switch and connect your 10 Gbps peripherals (desktop, laptop, NAS that support 10 Gbps) at the same switch. By this way, you cannot have bandwidth of 10 Gbps to the internet (of course, the fastest broadband in the world today for home user is around 1 Gbps) BUT you can have 10 Gbps of bandwidth for your local network. I need this since I can easily utilised 500 - 600 Mbps in my home network for local content e.g. local streaming, local backup, CCTV recording for one PC. For a total of 6 heavy users in my home, my 1 Gbps LAN is very congested. The price for 10 Gbps switch as well as ethernet PCI card are become lower these days but the price for 10 Gbps NAS is still expensive. Yes, there are 10 Gbps NAS if you are still wondering:

just ditch this, dlink has been absolutely horrible with too many blunders and still havent changed.

If you want 10Gb/s theres a cheap way to do it. Mikrotik has 16 port fully managed SFP+ switch for 400USD, combined with SFP+ PCIe mellanox cards 2nd hand, about $30 USD each, grab decently priced 1-5M SFP+ direct cables, about $10-$20 each.

Both 10Gbe and SFP+ get more expensive with range. 10Gbe requires CAT 6 up to 50M, Cat 6A up to 100M, SFP+ bandwidth is ensured which is something that cant be said for those cables claiming to be cat6/cat6a.

If you just want a reliable wifi router that is more secure, ditch your dlink and get another brand. plenty of good non dlinks out there. In my own setup, only the modem is the weak link but i cant replace that without losing VOIP.
