Latest firmware, and make sure the MTU is set correctly for your ISP...1492 for PPPoE DSL, 1500 for cable and bridged DSL.
The 524 is an older model...slower CPU and less RAM than some more current generation models.

Your WAN port is connected to wireless? Your ISP run something like Motorola Canopy?

Did you select the revision for you model? The 524 had like 4 revs that are model specific. If it accepted the firmware and it is the correct one, you may have to hard cycle it. The 524 is a little finicky. Plus all the newest firmwares really do is correct the random disconnects infamous with that model. But as far as performance, the upgrades have no effect. As already stated, it is a slower model router. I had mine up until about a month ago though, and could get my full speed on all pc's connected.

ver 2? The model specific revs are a,c,d,e. And from what I have heard you can not correct after it is done. I have never personally tried it though to see if it can be done.

Look here and see if you picked the right one for your router. Just select the di 524 from the drop down.

Are you getting the challenge? Or browser times out?
Try the default password..on some routers...if you're upgrading a very old firmware to the latest...if the difference in versions is a big one...they may reset to factory defaults.

Bluezboy,
I just got hooked up to Verizon DSL. I have a DI-534 A1 wireless router that I want to hook back up. I am very reluctant to mess with resetting my Westell 6100 to bridge mode until I am fairly certain that the router will not be a problem.
How did you make out?
After router config, you may have to put your dsl modem into bridge mode.
