 ===== Installation =====
-==== Rev. C1 ====
+==== Rev. C1 and E4 ====
 Installation is fairly straight forward for this router, you will need to access the D-Link recovery console with the steps below.
-  - As per the note at http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/DIR-615C , "If your dlink 615 C1 is at f/w 3.12 or 3.11 you may have to revert it to 3.10".  The older firmware is available from D-Link: http://www.dlink.com/products/?tab=3&pid=DIR-615&rev=DIR-615_revC

-  - Press and hold the reset button until the power LED starts blinking orange (usually takes ~45 seconds). Or, hold down the reset button while powering on the router, this is much quicker and only takes 5-10 seconds.
   - Set a static IP on your PC to '192.168.0.2'.
-  - Go to 'http://192.168.0.1' from your PC web browser. (Note: most modern browsers don't work, see below)
+  - Press and hold the reset button until the power LED starts blinking orange (usually takes ~45 seconds). Or, hold down the reset button while powering on the router, this is much quicker and only takes 5-15 seconds.
+  - Go to 'http://192.168.0.1' from your PC web browser. (Note: most modern browsers don't work, see below, Firefox 13 portable version is known to work)
   - "Browse" and select the OpenWrt firmware (e.g. 'openwrt-ar71xx-dir-615-c1-squashfs-factory.bin').
   - Let router flash the image, don't worry if it reboots before it reaches 100%. If the page loads forever or times out, your browser is unsupported. See below.

 Internet Explorer 7 on Windows is known to work, as well as Firefox 13.0.1 on GNU/Linux, but problems have been reported with newer versions and most other browsers on GNU/Linux.  Older versions of Firefox (4.x and below) are known to have problems, several people have been more successful with newer versions. Alternatively, you can use the ''curl'' command-line HTTP client like so:
   curl -0vF files=@openwrt-ar71xx-dir-615-c1-squashfs-factory.bin http://192.168.0.1/cgi/index
 There seems to be some compatibility issues with the firmware update system network stack and at least a Linux 3.5.3 kernel and curl 7.27.0. Even forcing ''curl'' down to HTTP/1.0 resulted in a hang. One known working configuration is NetBSD 5.1.2 with curl 7.26.0.
+***A use of Firefox 13 portable edition (on windows 7) was verified as successful.

 | FIXME: D1/D2 build instructions |
+The DIR-615D maps to DIR-300b1 therefore there is no dedicated target for 615-D.
+D2 can be flashed with Attitude Adjustment - RC1: openwrt-ramips-rt305x-dir-615-d-squashfs-factory.bin
+Problems when flashing with AA RC1 firmware:
+  - ethernet only works when trying to connect over 10baseT/UTP (10mbit/sec)
+  - wireless needs workaround
+**Wireless**:
+It is fixed in the recent Attitude Adjustment branch and works out of box. However, if you are using precompiled AA RC1 you will need a workaround: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/12636
+**Ethernet**:
+The only way to get this fully working is to recompile using old ramips ethernet drivers (from revision: 24328)
+To do this:
+  - get the desired branch/trunk
+  - navigate to target/linux/ramips/files/drivers/net/ethernet/ramips
+  - remove all *.c and *.h files
+  - copy into this folder the 3 files from https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/target/linux/ramips/files/drivers/net?rev=24328
+  - rename ramips.c to remips_main.c
+  - continue with configuration/compilation as normal
+This has been tested and the router works flawlessly.
 | FIXME: D3/D4 build instructions |
+Updated D4 install instructions (AArc2) are here: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=35184
 | FIXME: The DIR-825 has a better description: [[toh/d-link/dir-825#installation]]. |
+==== Rev. H1 ====
+Requires at minimum a customized /etc/config/network. If you have a working network with DHCP server you can put the following in your /etc/config/network (you have to edit via serial connection for the first time or have a custom build with the modified /etc/config/network):
+<code>
+config interface 'loopback'
+        option ifname   'lo'
+        option proto    'static'
+        option ipaddr   '127.0.0.1'
+        option netmask  '255.0.0.0'
+config interface 'lan'
+        option ifname   'eth0'
+	option hostname 'DIR-615_H1'
+        option proto    'dhcp'
+</code>
+Now you should be able to telnet to DIR-615_H1
+=== Rev. H1 Build Instruction ===
+This documentation refers to current trunk of 03.04.2013.
+Instead of using the above procedure, you can build the image following the next steps. It will create a working image with dhcp on wan and fixed ip 192.168.0.1 on lan.
+ - Download current trunk. I've downloaded it from git mirror:
+<code>
+git clone git://nbd.name/openwrt.git
+</code>
+ - Add the file "target/linux/ramips/rt305x/profiles/d-link.mk" with content (ref:[[https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=40623|DIR-615 H1 current sources]]):

+</code>
+ - edit file "target/linux/ramips/base-files.mk", remove the line :
+<code>
+    rm -f $(1)/etc/config/network
+</code>
+ - Edit the file "package/base-files/files/etc/config/network" with the settings you want. For example:
+<code>
+# Copyright (C) 2006 OpenWrt.org
+config interface 'loopback'
+        option ifname 'lo'
+        option proto 'static'
+        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'

+        option ports '4 6t'
+</code>
+ - In case you have already build something make a dirclean
+<code>
+make dirclean
+</code>
+ - Configure the image:
+<code>
+make menuconfig
+</code>
+<code>
+Target System (Ralink RT288x/RT3xxx)
+Subtarget (RT305x based boards)
+Target Profile (DIR-615 H1)
+</code>
+ - Build the image:
+<code>
+make -j 5

+Revisions D1 to D4 as well as H1 are pretty much unbrickable as they have a built-in firmware recovery mode. Revision D5 does not have built in recovery.
 To access, simply hold down the reset button while powering on the router. The power LED should blink orange. Set your computer with a static IP in the 192.168.0.x range, and open 192.168.0.1 in a web browser. Recovery mode loads up within a few seconds, but doesn't respond to pings. If the power LED is blinking orange the above page should be accessible.
