I have my 655 for over a year and it was working great. Since 3 weeks ago it started to slow down and its wifi radio is interrupted about every 5 minutes (you see reconnection messages)
Its configuration is DHCP and 802.11n/g and it was working great, so I tried today to reinstall the 1.32NA firmare and it uploads it and run the installation process but it doesnt show it as done. I then tried the 1.33NA and the 1.34NA and it doesnt install
Anyone has any idea what is going on?

Push reset button on back and hold it in until lights flash.
After router finishes rebooting then try flashing.

Thansk Cobra had to do it 5 times before it finally allowed me to install the new firmware 1.34NA and to my surprise it did not fixed anything on the 655 it is still losing the radio signal and hogs down when any user goes into multimeda the bandwidth is suck up totally by this user and I can not eve get emails!

If your unit was operating properly for a year and suddenly started acting up without any setting or firmware modification, you may want to consider potential outside changes in the environment.
Have you relocated the router? Have you moved?
It could be that you have a new neighbour that is using the same channel. Try using a 3rd party app such as InSSIDer to take a quick survey of other router traffic nearby.
You didn't mention if any of the wired connections are effected similarly. Do you use any wired connections/are they impacted at all?
