What Firmware Update To Use, If Any ?????

2014-05-17 21:55:33

Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TD-W8951ND

Hardware Version : V5

Firmware Version : 5.0.0 Build 120703 Rel.29030

ISP :

I need to update the firmware of this router due to the recent dns hijacking situations.

Hardware version is v5.1

Not a lot of help available really on the download page.

The most recent firmware available is TD-W8951ND_V5_140226 & TD-W8951ND_V5_140306 and it give two choices as to which one to use. None of which apply to the firmware I already have.

And the other one available is from over a year ago.

Is there an updated firmware available????

Thanks

Well, I worked it out. This is what you do if you have v5 software like me. Go to the firmware download page and download:

TD-W8951ND_V5_131104

Upgrade the firmware with it. When completed, download this from the same page :

TD-W8951ND_V5_140226 & TD-W8951ND_V5_140306

Unzip and choose the corresponding firmware with the one just installed and go through the procedure again.

Once done type in 192.168.1.1/rom-0 into the address bar to verify nothing will be downloaded. And double check the acl filter which should be set to:

Activated, 1, YES, 0.0.0.0 - 0.0.0.0, ALL, LAN

Those settings taken from here:
