It still working. Copy this link (ftp://ftp2.dlink.com/PRODUCTS/DIR-842/REVC/) to your file explorer.

I cannot access the recovery room although follow all steps with button.

1.Download the 2 firmware into your pc from DLINK FIRMWARE
2.You will need to download 3.10 and 3.13. You only need the DIR842C1_FW302b03_middle.bin from 3.10.
3.Extract the .bin into your pc.
4.Unplug the power. Poke the reset button and hold. Power on your router. Keep your eye on the power LED. Once it started to blink immediately let go of the reset button.
5.You can safely enter 192.168.0.1 now. (Remember to set the ip as in page 1)
6.Upload DIR842C1_FW302b03_middle.bin and start upgrading.
7.When the upgrading is completed, just login thru the DLINK UI by clicking login without typing any password.
8.Go to the upgrade page and upload the 3.13 .bin and upgrade.
9.Done. Do your UNIFI setting.

Haha.. I done already. Use another dlink router can access Recovery Mode last few months
I'm realize some of the dlink router unable to access Recovery mode. If cannot access Recovery mode, that means your dlink router semi-faulty (unable to access Recovery Mode). In this case, nothing can do...

I have exactly same problem like everyone else. Tried multiple times until I use the bolded part method.

so u can't access the recovery GUI before. now can?

Yes. At first totally cannot access the recovery GUI although the power LED blinking despite trying many times.

Then I change method. Just kept my eye on the power LED. Once it blink immediately release reset button.

It works on my first try and subsequent tries also good.

okok I will try.

My old dlink router got try at least 1 or 2 years, no hope for it.
Luckily one of my friend cancel the fiber package, so leave the router throw like trash.
So request my friend give me the dlink router for doing some testing..

Who know use my friend very easy go to recovery GUI.
Then I use the same method way for my old dlink. Unfortunately, "The Page was not found" and does not show any recovery GUI.

I predict that some of dlink router uni** purposes remove the recovery GUI..

I had the same problem initially but later reset to the factory default (192.168.0.1) and make sure router works in this range. After that the recovery appeared.
If your router was not in 192.168.0.x, maybe you can try this.

For those on firmware 3.06TM, please try 192.168.0.10. I was about to give up after 2 days of trying to load openwrt before this works for me.

Evening,

#1 About downloading the firmware. If you paste the link given on file explorer it will request to open external software instead. This is because it leads to the file instead (i think?). You need to direct it to folder (picture shown) and it should work. I tell this because I literally download external software that requires money (I do trial instead) just to access it.

#9 That part where you need to flash firmware through Recovery Mode sent me nuts for an hour. I used firefox and ms edge, after clicked upload, nothing freaking happens! Until I use Internet Explorer (don't know why), it finally works!!!!

That's all from me incase somebody encounters the same problem as me, you can refer above for solution.

My original router firmware was v3.06TM





Attached thumbnail(s)

Anybody already get the Dlink x1860z?
Can somebody share how about the wifi name still have @unifi suffix?

Meanwhile, how the firmware? Is it original from dlink?

X1860Z doesnt have @unifi wifi suffix.

firmware customized for TM. doesn't have for download at DLink portal. only available X1860.

Would you mind to share the bottom dlink of information? (of course if you want censored the serial number or MAC address, i'm understand of it)
Just curious that Z version is using what hardware version?

I saw the X1860 official one is:-

Hardware: A1
Firmware: v1.02B06

Mind to share the firmware n hardware details?

Thanks a lot.

https://www.netis-systems.com/Home/detail/id/227.html

it seems like x1860z is ODM rebrand from infamous Netis (maker of crap orange 4-in-1 router-gateway)

Huh? How do these 2 router share the same design yet different brands

https://www.dlink.com.my/product/ax1800-wi-...al-band-router/

think this is like illegear laptop

illegear share same design with tongfang own mechrevo and also other brands like XMG or eleuktronics

Just wondering if use firmware X1860 (without Z version) root to X1860Z device, whether can work or not?
That's damn high risk since there is no recovery original IMG file firmware..


Can't believe got copy cat either Dlink or Netis...
Look same design, but spec slightly different?

Netis - 880MHz dual-core CPU
Dlink - 1GHz dual-core CPU


Start to suspect nowadays Dlink quality not like what I'm thinking before...
