it sounds like you have locked the Router into Firmware Flash mode by incorrectly performing the reset steps which are :
To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the router powered on, use a
paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go through its reboot process.
Wait about 30 seconds to access the router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. When logging in, the username is admin and leave the password box empty.
If however, one presses and holds the Reset button while it's off, then turns it ON, then it will start the flash process and flash the power light orange.
To recover, you will need to re-flash the Router.
Here is the D-link support page to find your firmware, you will need to find the correct "version" of the 615 you have and download that file, (you will need to un-zip it,) then follow these steps :
1. Disconnect the power cable from the router.
2. Open a web browser and type in the URL http://192.168.0.1/ but DO NOT PRESS [enter] or the [GO] button yet.
3. Press and HOLD the [reset] button on the router and connect the power cable. Continue to hold the [reset] button for about 10 seconds, then release.
4. Now click inside the address bar of the browser and press [enter] or the [GO]. The "Emergency Room" Updating Firmware screen should display.
5. Browse to and upload the DIR615_v4.11_B02.bin image file.
6. When you see the message "IMAGE UPLOAD SUCCESS", the flash will begin to be erased and re-written.
7. Use your browser to again connect to the router at http://192.168.0.1/ or press [F5] and refresh the page.
The Dlink setup screen should load. If not, you did something wrong. Go back and try again.
