  • Estou em junho de 2022, ainda hoje este projeto esta me ajudando a dar uma nova vida para meu NAS DLink DNS-320L. Somente tenho a agradecer pelo projeto. I am in June 2022, even today this projection is helping me to give a new life to my NAS DLink DNS-320L. I just have to cheers for the project.

  • Great. I was pointed to this alternative firmware afterward I read that smbv1 -support would be removed soon from Windows 11, and it was also removed from more recent linux-kernels. I have an ancient Conceptronic CH3SNAS which I already had upgraded with DNS-323-firmware. Still working peachy. Simply this firmware makes this NAS which I bought in 2008 or 2009 or so a bit longer usable. Installation worked like a charm. The fsck took ages, and after information technology completed and relabeled the volume it wanted to fsck once more. Ran the process some other fourth dimension. Afterwards some slight bug which were hands solvable. At present everything is running fine again. Even updated the Linux-kernel on my Raspberry Pi4 to 5.15.y, which was done before a few weeks before, but after finding out I couldn't mount my sambashares anymore I had to revert back to 5.10.y. Now on 5.fifteen.y with the 'new' firmware and smbv2-support it's working every bit designed. Happy with it.

  • -sorry 4 my english- I establish in a box my old DNS-320 rev. A1; information technology's more than than 5 years It's unused. It still have the original DLINK firmware with fun-plug 0.5 and both bays filled with hd (no raid, merely 2 divide disks); it was still working. I decided to give this project a attempt and I used the dlink web interface to update the firware. The functioning finished and the nas was rebooted. Afterwards that I couldn't reach information technology from http; I waited one-half a day (hoping some sort of mantenance was going). Than I went to await at information technology and both hd leds were on and yellow. I physically rebooted information technology; simply the power blue led kept on, but notwithstanding I couldn't reach it. Finally I establish that IP was inverse (from default DLINK 192.168.ane.32 to 192.168.1.169), the ii disks are all the same there with their content! Good. I am at present trying to solve a "Yous don't seem to have enabled feeds, a proper noun server configured, or a working internet connection, and no /tmp/ipkg_*_arm.ipk file establish. Exiting" trouble installing Alt-F. The interface is very crude: just a bunch of forms with no graphics or css, but it's very fast and more than complete than the original, which is what matters.

  • Thanks for providing this free alternative. With the packet and the instructions provided, it was really easy to replace the standard build on my DNS-325-revAx The latter reached of a sudden end of life as D-Link did non renew its certificate. Whatsoever secure connection would therefore fail. The upgrade process was elementary and kept all my data intact. the RAID-1 array I had built with the Dlink core was recognized and mounted without whatsoever glitch. Great firmware !

  • This is great. Alt-F allowed me to bring back to life my old DNS320L nas, with many actress functionalities. Information technology is now the middle of my domicile network, where I run my DHCP server, monitoring tools, file sharing and DLNA server! What else could I ask for? Well, simply to update a chip some of the packages, some of them are pretty old.
