D-Link DWA-140 Rev B3 doesnt work

[bashizen]

Hi there,

i ordered a new D-Link DWA-140 Dongle for W-Lan connection on my old WDTV Gen1 and saw that the HW Revision is a new B3 b

Before i used an Belkin Dongle which worked well, but since i moved away from my old house i needed a W-Lan N Dongle with a stronger connection for connecting to my router.

The new D-Link DWA-140 Dongle doesnt even flash.

I found out that HW Revision B3 uses another VID/PID like the Versions B1 and B2 before.

Revision B1 and B2 worked for many people on the wdtv forums very well.

My Adapter has following PID/VID:

Code: Select all

vendor: 07d1 ("D-Link System"), product: 3c15 ("DWA-140 RangeBooster N Adapter(rev.B3) [Ralink RT2870]")

{USB_DEVICE(0x07D1,0x3c15)}

So i assume the drivers dont work, since the PID/VID arent supported by the wireless-mod-rt.app.bin Files.

Does someone has maybe a solution on this ?


What i tested:

ext3-boot or
1.02.11_B-RAD.CC_WDLXTV-0.5.7.1

several wireless-mod-rt.app.bin Versions

Hi bashizen,
Did you finally get it?

I've the same problem.

[bashizen]

Hello marmoto,

no, sorry. I got me a B2 Revision which works good.

I sent back the B3 to where i bought it.

Maybe you should do the same.

I would ask the shop, if they could have a look at the Revision/HW Version before they sell you the adapter.

Best regards

Not a surprise that it doesn't work if you have a Gen2.
Please check the Gen2 part of the forum. Maybe there you'll find what you a re looking for.

Sorry to be a noob at this.

But with maxxim's post regarding the wireless mod, am I right in thinking that the .app just needs to be placed on a USB thumb drive and just inserted prior to booting up the WDTV?

Also then how would I tell my unit to use the modified net.config and the RT2870STA.dat ? Again really sorry for the noob questions - just so much information it's a little hard to understand what the exact process is.

hi and hello

i have here an

D-Link DWA-140 H/W Ver: B3 F/W Ver 2.00 Stick

i downloaded this two app.bin´s:

wireless-mod-rt3070v2.app.bin
and

and i create this both files:

Ich habe dann die RT2870STA.dat, die net.config und eine der app.bin´s auf nen Stick kopiert und in den USB1 (links von der Box) reingesteckt, Stecker gezogen und wieder rein aber leider passierte nichts.

i copied the RT2870STA.dat, the net.config and one of the app.bin´s on an USB-Stick in Root and put the Stick in USB1 ... make an HardReset ... but ... nothing

whats wrong ? can anyone help me ?

thx in advance
