D-Link DIR-867 A1
The D-Link DIR-867 is a Wi-Fi 5 Wave 2 router based on MediaTek MT7621A with 16 MB flash and 128 MB RAM. It has 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports and dual MediaTek MT7615N radios, although limited to 3×3 streams on each band.

Hardware Highlights
Installation
→ Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)
OpenWrt main (formerly master) images can be installed via the stock firmware on this router using the factory image file. The unencrypted file for the recovery interface is now named recovery.
OpenWrt 23.05 and older cannot be installed through the stock firmware on this router, as it only accepts properly signed and encrypted files in D-Link SHRS format. Use the D-Link Recovery GUI instead to upload the OpenWrt factory image for this router.
If the upload from the Recovery GUI hangs and doesn't do anything, refer to this forum topic for an alternative exploit that can be used in older versions of the stock firmware to get OpenWrt installed.
Flash Layout
Please read this article for a better understanding, as it contains a couple of explanations. The sections below describes the flash layout of this router when running the stock firmware and when running OpenWrt.
Stock Firmware
| Layer0 | raw flash, 16384 KiB | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Layer1 | mtd0 ALL 16384 KiB |
|||||
| Layer2 | mtd1 Bootloader 192 KiB | mtd2 Config 64 KiB | mtd3 Factory 64 KiB | mtd4 Config2 64 KiB | mtd5 Kernel 15680 KiB | mtd6 Private 320 KiB |
Configpartition stores the environment variables from U-Boot.Factorypartition stores the MAC addresses and calibration data of the MT7615N wireless modules.Config2partition stores the default country code, default Wi-Fi password and unique D-Link FOTA identifiers.Privatepartition stores the router settings. A factory reset erases all content from this partition.
Warning: Factory and Config2 partitions contains unique data, specific to each unit. If they get erased or corrupted, stock firmware will lose the ability to automatically apply firmware updates, will get stuck on a bootloop if a factory reset is performed and Wi-Fi won't work anymore. D-Link Recovery GUI cannot fix this.
OpenWrt
| Layer0 | raw flash, 16384 KiB | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Layer1 | mtd0 u-boot 192 KiB | mtd1 u-boot-env 64 KiB | mtd2 factory 128 KiB | mtd3 firmware 16000 KiB |
||
| Layer2 | mtd4 kernel 2322 KiB | mtd5 rootfs 13678 KiB |
||||
| Layer3 | /rom 3758 KiB | mtd6 rootfs_data 9920 KiB |
||||
Different from stock firmware, OpenWrt doesn't make distinction between the Factory and Config2 partitions, instead it maps both of them to a single read-only partition, factory, at the same address range. Regardless, it still holds the same unique data specific to each unit, and all sorts of issues can happen if this partition gets corrupted or erased.
OEM installation using the TFTP method
Although this router supports flashing the firmware and even the bootloader through TFTP, these flashing modes can only be selected by interacting with the U-Boot terminal at boot time, through the serial port. The section below lists the default values, although the router will always ask for the desired parameters when selecting any of the TFTP flash options on the U-Boot console.
Specific values needed for TFTP
| Bootloader TFTP server IPv4 address | 192.168.0.1 |
|---|---|
| Firmware TFTP image | Latest OpenWrt release (NOTE: for OpenWrt 23.05 or older, use the factory images, otherwise use the recovery images) |
| TFTP transfer window | indefinite |
| TFTP window start | N/A |
| TFTP client required IP address | 192.168.0.101 |
Upgrading OpenWrt
LuCI Web Upgrade Process
- Browse to
http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/flash(LuCI Upgrade URL); - Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI;
- Confirm whether existing settings should be kept;
- Wait for reboot.
Terminal Upgrade Process
If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line. There are two command line methods for upgrading:
sysupgrademtd
Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.
sysupgrade
- Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:
cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7621/openwrt-ramips-mt7621-dlink_dir-8xx-a1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-ramips-mt7621-dlink_dir-8xx-a1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Note: Replace the 8xx in the link and filename with the model number of your router, e.g. 867.
mtd
Alternatively, you can use mtd. Keep in mind that mtd won't save any existing settings.
- Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:
cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7621/openwrt-ramips-mt7621-dlink_dir-8xx-a1-squashfs-factory.bin mtd -r write /tmp/openwrt-ramips-mt7621-dlink_dir-8xx-a1-squashfs-factory.bin firmware
Note: Replace the 8xx in the link and filename with the model number of your router, e.g. 867.
Debricking
In case of a brick, a new firmware can still be uploaded through D-Link Recovery GUI. Keep in mind the recovery GUI only accepts unencrypted firmware images. A tool to decrypt factory images is available here. Alternatively, a new firmware can be flashed through the serial port or through TFTP, but you'll need to interact with the U-Boot console at power up to select any of these modes.
Be careful when playing around with the bootloader, as in case of a bootloader brick neither the emergency recovery mode nor the serial and TFTP flash options will be accessible. Since this router doesn't have a JTAG port, only reprogramming the flash chip through an external programmer can solve this kind of brick.
The stock firmware files provided by D-Link doesn't contain the bootloader, so obtaining a copy of it can be tricky. To help with that, an unmodified copy of the stock bootloader, dumped directly from the flash chip of a working unit, can be downloaded here.

Specific Configuration
Network interfaces
The default network configuration is:
| Interface Name | Description | Default configuration |
|---|---|---|
| br-lan | LAN ports & both Wi-Fi radios | 192.168.1.1/24 |
| wan | WAN port | DHCP |
| wlan0 | Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz | Disabled |
| wlan1 | Wi-Fi 5 GHz | Disabled |
Switch Ports (for VLANs)
Numbers 0-3 are Ports 1-4 as labeled on the unit, number 4 is the Internet (WAN) on the unit. Don't be fooled: Port 1 on the unit is number 3 when configuring VLANs. vlan0 = eth0.0, vlan1 = eth0.1 and so on.
| Port | Switch port |
|---|---|
| Internet (WAN) | 4 |
| LAN 1 | 3 |
| LAN 2 | 2 |
| LAN 3 | 1 |
| LAN 4 | 0 |
Buttons

Serial
→ port.serial general information about the serial port, serial port cable, etc.
- Serial port is located on the J1 header, next to the Wi-Fi, Reset and WPS buttons.
- It comes from factory without a pin header, you must solder one before you can use it.
- The board uses 3V3 logic level, double check the specifications of the USB-TTL dongle you have before connecting.
- Don’t forget that the TX pin of the router should be connected to the RX pin of the serial port and the RX to TX.

Notes
- This router has nearly identical internals and the same specs as the D-Link DIR-878 A1, D-Link DIR-882 A1 and Motorola MR2600 v1 apart from the lack of USB ports and just 3×3 streams.
- Due to this similarity, most software/hardware mods and even firmwares for the DIR-878, DIR-882 and MR2600 can be applied to this router without issues.
- D-Link DIR-1760 A1, D-Link DIR-1960 A1, D-Link DIR-2640 A1 and D-Link DIR-2660 A1 also are very similar to this router, but they have more RAM (256 MB) and flash (128 MB NAND).
