version for this router is available for download and update the Status field below.
IMPORTANT! After firmware 1.04B13, new user database architecture is
introduced. The new user database is easier to setup and more intuitively to use.
When users upgrade DSR‘s firmware to 1.04B13 or latter, DSR will automatically

1.03B43. Please keep in mind: backup your user database for further restoring once
you decide to downgrade firmware to the older one.

Each configured WAN can have a different DDNS service if required. Once
configured, the router will update DDNS services changes in the WAN IP address so
