Title: dir655 - Issue with Shareport utility
Post by: rahbhat03 on January 06, 2010, 06:52:08 AM

Hi Guys,
I just bought a DIR 655 router for my home use and am facing issues trying to access a USB Share drive.
I downloaded the shareport utility but it doesn't detect the USB connected, my router is at :
Hardware Version - A3
Firmware Version - 1.11

Can anyone please suggest, if i need to upgrade my firmware to make use of the shareport feature and if i need to which is the most stable one for hardware version A3.

You will need at least firmware version 1.21

I would try this first and stay with it if there are no issues.
If you update to the new 1.3x versions, you can't go back.

when you have updated go into the router menu :Setup/USB Settings and enable Shareport.

If you want it for Shareport, it probably won't work and you won't ge any real help from here.

Definitely do not upgrade to 1.3 but I would return it while you still can.
