I have firmware v3.0-r34929c and I tried the most current 880L firmware from the site and your build "ddwrt-webflash-dir868-880-r38132a-patched.bin". However when I try to update it always seems to hang or fail. Have to do a 30-30-30 reset to get back to the firmware I have. I switched from Chrome to Firefox but that didn't change much. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Strange, I updated to r38132a via firefox, got a failed update message, logged in and its showing "v3.0-r38132a quarkysg-std" for the firmware. Should I do another 30-30-30 reset, standard reboot/reset or will this run ok?

If you already see the upgraded version, it should be upgraded now. So your router should be ok for use.
I haven’t been spending time on the Broadcom routers lately. My attention was diverted to the Netgear R7800. The recent changes committed by the devs doesn’t seem to benefit the Broadcom Northstar routers as well. In any case I’ll continue to upload my builds when I build them.
The official firmware should be safe to use. Just that workaround will be required if you are using VAP and/or you need PBR + SFE. The kernel modules I uploaded still can be used to work-around the PBR + SFE problem.
I'm thinking of re-purposing my DIR-880L as a wireless bridge with DD-WRT. When I've done this in the past I've found that anything behind the DD-WRT bridge fails to see my DLNA server.
I'm not familiar enough with networking terms to know if VAP or the PBR + SFE problems are what I experienced.
Thoughts? Also, how hard is it go back to stock firmware after DD-WRT?
Hi quarksg, I tried to flash my D-Link DIR-880L running Current Firmware Version: 1.20, Fri 21 Dec 2018. When I tried to flash the factory-to-ddwrt firmware file, the router responded with "Firmware upgrade failed".
What can I do to move forward?

I would suggest flashing the factory-to-ddwrt firmware via the Emergency Recovery utility of your DIR-880L. I think newer versions of stock firmware checks for signed firmware or something to that effect, making it impossible to flash third party firmware via the stock firmware upgrade page.
Also, make sure you use the correct factory-to-ddwrt image for your DIR-880L. Different router have different firmware signature, which I think the firmware upgrade page checks as well.

At the moment I am successfully using

i tried to flash with the above firmware(factory-to-ddwrt.bin for the DIR-880L version A1), and while the d-link GUI (firmware 1.07WW 2016-2-26) states firmware upload is complete (and I gave the router several more minutes), I am unable to get the router working - powering it up while pinging I get:

power light on continuously except for a 1 second off/on several seconds after power on. internet connection light red continuously.
I used the emergency firmware recovery to reinstall the D-Link/OEM firmware (and went through the whole process again with the same result).
I cannot see a way to do a hard-reset on this router (instead that would initiate the emergency firmware recovery as above).
Any thoughts? I could try installing the binary via the emergency recovery page as suggested in the previous post, but that was for a different problem I am not experiencing.
Thank you

3. Turn off the DIR-890L. Hold in the reset button with a paperclip and then power on while holding the reset button down.
4. Wait about 10 seconds and release.
5. Statically assign your computer an IP address of 192.168.0.2 / 255.255.255.0.
6. Open a web browser. From personal experience, use FireFox. I had issues with Chrome and IE 11 for some reason. If you fail loading the firmware, repeat step 3-5 and use a different browser.
7. Go to http://192.168.0.1. The Firmware Recovery page should appear. If not, Try step 3 again. Note this may take a few tries to work.
1. My ISP requires Vlan 10 tagging. I have tried all the suggestions elsewhere but I can't get my connection up.
I'm getting conflicting info on here with some saying Vlan 10 tagging has to happen in NVRAM, while others say it should be OK in the GUI to set as I have below, along with assigning VLAN10 to the WAN pot under networking. Neither work
