I've run across this and found that a update would install but not work, then at that point the restore to default would. The unit worked fine for 2 years after but would never allow itself to upgrade after that. Of course the proper 'paid' solution was to send it in or replace.

I dont know if the cmos is actually at fault or the images are being corrupted. Tech support seemed to be reading off of a script and were pretty useless then, (Maybe they have improved). About the only useful advice I can give is based on my experience with this. If you can get it to work it may be stable but if it is a critical router I'd replace it. Not a fix but just some experiences with it.

D-Link 500T status led is not working

Hi,

Try resetting the router by pressing the reset button for 20 seconds and try again. If resetting it does'nt solve the issue then look for TFTP application for firmware upgrade or send us the model number of the router.

Suddenly, my YP-K3 Samsung music player is not turning on. I've tried to do a hard reset on this. Like, keeping the reset button on hold for 30 seconds but still, it won't work. I tried to reset it for so...

Firmware Upgrade Failed

Firmware upgrade is a simple but a delicate procedure. Make sure you are loading the correct firmware. You should get your firmware from the website of your router. Installing a THIRD PARTY firmware to your router voids the warranty of your router. Here is a tip for a successful firmware upgrade. BEFORE FIRMWARE UPGRADE(push the reset button of the router for 30 seconds then unplug the power of the router for 10 seconds). Upgrade the firmware. After the upgrade push the reset button again for 30seconds, unplug power for 10 seconds.

Rio Carbon stuck "WRITING"

The writing message may appear for a good forty minutes after completing the firmware upgrade - make sure your player is fully charged and just let it sit for an hour on that writing status - it will stop eventually.
