To restore a glorious one: Dlink DI-624+

[teppei]

Hi friends!!!
I first of all apologize if my English is not correct but I am Italian and I desire your jewel support.
I have decided to open this topic to look for to restore this modem (purchased to londra) that is not mine but of one colleague of mine, that returning in italia has forgotten the power supply to london.
The model in matter is: Dlink DI-624+ On the connector is written 5V 2.5A.
I have also found the manual.
Here it is as introduces him to the inside:

I in the meantime am trying to retrieve a substitutive feeder....and to change the swollen caps, as is seen by the photo.
Naturally I replace them with condesatori low esr.
Other suggestions?
Thanks!

If your friend finds the power adapter, make sure to check the caps in it as well. I had a DI-614+ go down due to a faulty cap in the power adapter (and this is the thread). Eventually, I got the adapter fixed and running, so my router is now working fine.

Momaka Thanks for your response.
My friend has forgotten the power supply in london and now I bought a 5V 2A power supply, even if the original is 5V 2.5A.
I do not think half milleampere can make a difference.
Of course, correct me if I'm wrong momaka.
Momaka believe me it is not for the value of the router which is now almost non-existent but for the satisfaction of repairing it.

thanks again

Half a milliamp = 0.0005 amps
Half an amp = 0.5 amps

I think it would make a difference, and also, it is good to get a PSU that will easily handle the load. The reason is because it should run cooler - therefore less stress on the parts!

Ben7 thanks for your response.
Unfortunately I could not find a power supply with the same characteristics 5V 2.5 A, which is why I bought this one 5V power supply 2 A.

I look forward to come this supply.
I will keep you updated.
Thank you all!

Yes, I know how that is. My DI-614+ is even older than this, yet I repaired it for no other reason other than for fun.

It *may* not make a difference when the router is sitting idle, but when there is heavy traffic and lots of wireless and/or wired activity going on, it *may* make a difference.

And even if it doesn't, ben7 has a point - the power adapter will likely run hotter so it's better to have an adapter than can properly handle the load.

Boys the power supply from china with fury I arrived today after a month of waiting!
I fed the router .... but unfortunately performing a simple ping 192.168.0.1 I always request expired!
I thought maybe .... I can re-inserting the firmware to restore it??
What do you advise me??
Thank you all!

Re: To restore a glorious one: Dlink DI-624+

Try resetting its settings first, if there is such option. On my D-Link router, I *think* all I had to do was hold the reset button for 10-20 seconds to fully reset all settings.

Re: To restore a glorious one: Dlink DI-624+

Might be 192.168.1.1

Re: To restore a glorious one: Dlink DI-624+

Thanks pentium 4 and momaka for your swift response.
I also tried with this address 192.168.1.1 but unfortunately the answer is always Request timed out.
I also tried to reset the router, unfortunately nothing.

I tried to make a nice ipconfig, the result was this:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection (LAN):

Connection-specific DNS suffix:
Autoconfiguration IP Address: 169254145190
Subnet mask. . . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default gateway. . . . . . . . . :

Re: To restore a glorious one: Dlink DI-624+

Hook up your computer to the router using an ethernet cable.

Download wireshark from

http://www.wireshark.org/download.html

and see if the router responds to the arp packets.

If you are unsure of how arp works, take a packet capture of a working session (say another router) so you can compare.

Disregard. I didn't see your other message. Your DCHP isn't working.

The above indicates you are not getting an IP address from the router via DHCP.

You can manually assign your etherent adapter an IP address like

192.168.0.99 255.255.255.0
