Title: Update firmware on 655 from 1.32NA - 1.34
Post by: Rasina on June 07, 2010, 09:29:22 AM

I was having some WAN issues the other day so I decided to see if there were any firmware updates that might address the issue.  I saw there were 2 new updates so I downloaded both of them.  When I updated the firmware the router came back up still showing 1.32NA.  I have updated this router plenty of times and I haven't seen this before.  Could it be that I am running hardware version A3?

I too am having this problem, was hoping that I might find something here. Apparently I decided to check a little early, as there aren't any replies yet...
My router is hardware version A2, and for some reason it won't accept either the 1.33 or 1.34 update

Didn't see this the first time I did a search.  I will try the fix from this post to see if it works.

These steps worked for me.

To solve the inaccurate version number:
1. Save your configuration settings
2. Reset router by pushing the reset button and holding until lights flash
3. Update firmware using web based updater
4. Reload config file


Thanks and sorry for the double post on this topic...

Just rolled back to 1.32NA as 33 and 34 really cut my upload speeds.  I wouldn't really worry about this for a standard line but mine is used for our clans TS server and file uploads.  My speeds went from 79 mb up to 14 mb.  Guess I will have to wait for 1.35  :P

OK...doing the reset and f/w upload worked. Upload speeds shouldn't really matter to me, since I rarely do any uploads (of significant size...)
I was reading in another thread that the DST option was causing the problem. Since you can't do the update yet, you may want to try that
