It is annoying that the Unifi supplied "D-Link DIR-842 Revision C" can't use our own SSID & stuck with xxxx@unifi
This guide is to remove that SSID restriction. ** USB Port are missing after the upgrade **
Disclaimer, do it on your own risk, your device's configuration will be lost after upgrade this firmware
Getting ready:
Download latest firmware from D-Link Malaysia (if failed this is the backup plan)

Procedure for DIR series routers
1, Store a copy of the router firmware (.BIN) on the HDD of a local PC. Download the FW file ahead of time.
2, Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the LAN ports on the rear of the router and the network port on the local PC
3, Configure the PC with a static IP address other than 192.168.0.1 (e.g. 192.168.0.5)
4, Power down the router and unplug the power cord
5, Press and hold the reset button on the rear of the router for 3 to 5 seconds and re-plug the power cord without releasing the reset button
6, Continue to hold the reset button until the power light keeps blinking on and off. NOTE: For some DIR series, continue holding the reset button up to 10 seconds.
7, Open a web browser and enter the following address: http://192.168.0.1/
8, Wait for the D-Link Router Recovery Mode page to load (See below)
9, Using the Choose File button, select the router firmware stored on the local PC (DIR842C1_FW302b03_middle.bin) and then press Upload
10, After the firmware successfully loads, a Success page will display
11, If the Success page fails to display, then repeat steps 3 through 9
After the flash completed, login to 192.168.0.1 (admin & no password)
Click management , upgrade, select file "DIR842C1_FW310b05.bin". Press Upload
Good Luck
