Dsl-2888a Firmware

[Rosham Rosebure]

HiI wanted to install openwrt on Huawei Hg255s which have TriDuctor VSPM340 cpu and requested GPL code from Huawei but they just ignoried my mail requests.No response at all.Full hardware specs are here btw.

So i searched for similiar hardware spec devices and i found Dlink's DSL-2888a and DVA-2800, these devices seems good candidate for my HG255s.

Donwloaded GPL source code at dlink's GPL site for DSL-2888a.After fiddling around source code it seems this device already running heaviliy modified openwrt.After removing xDSL and some unnecessary features with menuconfig for my HG255s i have tried to compile it but it complains about external toolchain for some reason.It seems kernel already have support for both RTL8812 and RTL8192.

I can upload whole code to github but you can download on d-link's site if desired.

-gpl.s3.amazonaws.com/GPL2000045/dsl-2888a.tar.gz

I don't need recent versions such as 19.07.Barrier braker is already there but can't compile it.

Please guide me.

Regards.

Quick Image Building Guide This is a short guide for building an OpenWrt snapshot firmware image. To build a stable release, look to the beginners guide to building your own firmware. There is a FAQ about difference between a release and a snapshot...

No, it doesn't - its underlying vendor SDK merely used an ancient OpenWrt snapshot as a base for their userland, kernel, drivers and everything important is still proprietary. Sadly this won't get you any closer to OpenWrt support either, as the vendor never bothered to submit their changes to OpenWrt.

As far as i remember i reached this far but toolchain ( arm-hsan-linux-uclibcgnueabi ) has issues i don't remember exactly.

I have found another toolchain from github but no luck so i giveup.You can try with make -j 4 V=s to make more information.

I believe you will see toolchain error.

If you find more information please share.

@whitepawn I do have new information!

I managed to build this image and flash it to my router but, at boot process kernel panic and restart the device, fortunately you can flash OEM image using CFE web recovery, I've tried couple of things but no luck with kernel panic, so i give up and revert to original image. This is built on a very old openwrt branch (12) with heavy modifications i don't see any benift from pursuing this, also i no longer use DSL, now using FTTH which come with a much better router (seem price).

To build the image you have to enable building/using included toolchain, doesn't seem to be enabled by default, there is also a typo in one of the Makefiles you have to remove am extra parenthese ")", you also have to update feeds urls, i can post more details if you need them..

recently i could be able to access the device through uart (by find and soldering extra pins) and saw the bootlog (see the forum thread link above).... i am not so experienced, but i offer my router and my time to do any tests you want

Yesterday afternoon my internet connection became unstable, with speeds falling off a cliff and latency increasing ten-fold. I've been working my way through the issue with Aussie Broadband, and we've arrived at the conclusion that the problem is most likely my D-Link DSL-2888A modem.

At first I thought the issue was caused by the USG, as it was displaying some strange behaviour, reporting high usage on the downlink without forwarding any of the traffic to downstream devices, it was also becoming unresponsive and disconnecting from the locally hosted netword controller.

I carried out one final speed test, and simultaneously managed to eliminate the USG as a suspect by carrying out a factory reset of the D-Link modem, and reconfiguring the network as follows, eliminating the USG and all downstream devices from the network.

Since receiving this last message I have factory reset and reflashed the firmware on the D-Link (2.31), and I have tried a different DSL cable, but no change. Also of note is the behaviour of the "Internet" LED on the D-Link. It is blinking, which is beahviour not detailed in the manual. The "DSL" LED is solid green.

The DSL-2888A uses a Triductor chipset and while it can mostly sync a bit faster than a Broadcom chipset , it can be more sensitive to changing line conditions and besides , D-Link produce crappy firmware for their modems , so it is possible that your line conditions have changed and the DSL-2888A doesn't like it.

Referring back to the high usage without traffic to downstream devices, I decided to take a look at my ABB account history. Sure enough, the traffic was real, and the USG was reporting correctly. My service as seen some 1.3TB incoming over a 24 hour period, starting at around 4:30pm on Friday (when I first identified an issues), through to midnight Saturday (noting that I turned off all my networking hardware overnight on the Firday night). This is more than triple the largest 24 hour period on my account since relocating in late Feb (data was reset), which included both up and down traffic.

I'm not sure why ABB was reporting everything as normal. This amount of traffic is clearly not normal behaviour on my account, and considering it was directed only to the first device on the network (I mentioned this to ABB) it leaves me wondering if it's a DOS attack (I'm uneducated in this regard, and I am probably reading too much into it. I have a static IP and recently started hosting a webserver with publicly available DNS listing).

No luck as it bugs out and says invalidimg. do I have any other options for firmware?(OG or custom, couldn't find anything on dd-wrt or open wrt) I want to use it as a LAN switch or possibly a wifi access point.

Edit: I've downloaded the .bin, but don't have a DSL-2888A to try.

What firmware is it running now ? won't make much difference, if you just want to use it as a switch or AP. Go ahead.

You can't flash DD-WRT on it.

I've updated to 2.31 you need to update to 2.29 first then 2.31, after many restarts and reboots, now my modem will connect locally but can't get an internet connection... anyone else have this problem?

Ok... Update. I'd suggest NOT updating to the latest firmware 2.31 as it bricked my router and couldn't connect to the internet anymore. I went through all solutions with D-Link live chat customer service, who were very helpful, although he sorted me out to get a new one. Again, firmware 2.31 could screw your router, even if you roll back to previous firmware. Fortunately it was under warranty...

I tried to update mine without success, spoke to Help Desk and they wanted to know why I upgraded if it was working.

I thought you upgraded to keep them current, apparently not.

Rolled back to original and still working.

I'm finding the update has not changed my VDSL performance but the UI is updated in parts and offers a lot more control of some features though it definitely appears to be half-baked (though so was the earlier firmware). If it wasn't for being good at VDSL and me thinking using it as a bridge with something parked next to it ugly and a new modem not really worth the cash right now I'd move on (but what to?).

My tip is that I had trouble customising the SSIDs of the Wireless and other settings post updating. There's script errors that occur on some pages. The only way to set the SSID (short of an on the fly script edit in developer tools) was to use the setup Wizard which luckily you don't need to factory reset to get into.

Hi I just wanted to say I struggled to update my router from 2.29 to 2.31. But then I figured out a way. After updating to 2.29, I did a restore to factory settings in the router settings on my pc (under: Management-System) then I did a reset with a pin. Then it easily updated to 2.31 firmware. Then I updated easily to 2.32.

Hi all. Due to speed fluctuations on my fixed wireless NBN I found my Huawei HG658 was the guilty party. I have purchased a new D-Link DSL- 2888A to replace it with but discovered after purchase this unit does not have a Phone 1 socket for my phone.

I understand the Huawei has the Voip settings built into the units firmware so I still need this unit to retain my phone.. "Oh dear!".

Is there a way I can bridge the Huawei and the D-link together so the Huawei is Voip only and the D-Link is for internet?

Cheers!

Hi mate, as I understand, if you run the Huawei bridged you will lose voip as it's embedded in the routing firmware, the modem part of the Huawei is just being used as a transceiver. Even if you use a seperate VoIP adapter with the new D-Link you're still stitched as you won't be able to simply enter your voip/sip settings as they're not atainable even with the gift of a kidney as payment. ?
