Not sure what is causing your issue, but I am also having wired connection problems.

On my xbox 360 that is wired and less than 2 feet from the DIR 655, I get continuous error messages while trying to stream netflix and it says there are 2 or 3 bars instead of full bars.  It's a freaking WIRED connection!!!!!!  If I stop the movie or show on Netflix that is playing and start it back up, it will test the connection at fulls bars.  but repeatedly tell me my connection has slowed while watching that show or whatever.  haha. oh well, won't have this router for too much longer anyways.

One thing I just noticed when I downloaded 1.34na is that the filename is DIR655A4_FW134NAb03.  That tells me that it is specifically for the A4 units and it is beta version 3.  Therefore, I don't believe those of us with A3 hardware should be upgrading the firmware just yet to 1.34.  It also explains why the autocheck for new firmware indicates that 1.33NA is the latest firmware for my unit.
I hope that helps explain matters a bit.
Cheers

The firmware is for all units, A1- A4.  The b03 is for Build 03 of that firmware, the betas had beta in the name.  I am running it on an A2 with no issues.
