DNS323 - Rev A. and 1.06 Firmware...

G'Day,

1. I have A1 hardware and DLink Australia has 1.05 for that and 1.06 for Rev B. Is it OK to install 1.06 on Rev A hardware?
2. What version in Samba up to in 1.06?

TIA

I'm running the US 1.06 firmware on a US Rev A hardware - no problems - I could be wrong, but I believe the US & Australian 1.06 firmwares are not identical.

How do I determine the version of Samba

Assuming you can get to a shell on your 323 do the following:

root@NAS:~# smbd --version
Version 3.0.24

Are the various region firmware different?

Re: DNS323 - Rev A. and 1.06 Firmware...

Since you've installed the firmware, I'm guessing you already know the version of Samba.

As to the different versions in the different regions...

Not being D-Link, I'm reluctant to make any statement of differences between the firmwares for the different regions - like I've already said, I believe the Australian and US versions of 1.06 are different, in fact I've seen a post on a forum from an individual whom I know to have close ties to D-Link make that statement, although he was not able to define the differences.

I also know of at least one version that is in a different language and I have observed that not all countries release the new firmware versions at the same time - so that when in the US the latest version is 1.06, the latest version in, for example, the UK might be 1.05 - I don't know the reasons for the delays and it is possible in my opinion that a given firmware version could be modified to comply with specific local regulations before release - but - that's just my $0.02

Based on anecdotal evidence in this forum - any/all firmware versions released to date run on both Rev A & Rev B hardware regardless of the market region - but who knows when that could change.  D-Link says they won't provide support for firmware not released for their market - which I believe to be nothing more than a standard tech support disclaimer - so that's where we stand.
