Reported at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21040600-Rant-DGL4500-continuous-reboots-streaming-the-news ... "[Rant] DGL-4500 continuous reboots streaming the news"
This morning I visited the online news site »www.livenewscameras.com like I always do to watch streaming news online. The difference today was that I clicked on the live hurricane coverage link to visit broadcasts from around the gulf coast. I noticed that I kept on loosing the connection while on this page. I also noticed that my router would keep rebooting, something its never done before. I wanted to hear from others who have this router and if you've noticed this behavior with your unit.
I can reproduce this using DIR-655 HW A2 FW 1.20
1. Go to http://www.livenewscameras.com/
2. Click on Live Hurricane Coverage
3. User is prompted to load ActiveX nsmp2inf.cab (other than the fact that it supports Windows Media Player, I don't know what it does)
4. Router reboots and is unstable

Because this "Live Hurricane Coverage" page is temporary, it would be helpful for developers to have a better example that might be around for a few weeks while this issue is looked at. I don't have one right now.

Yeah I posted about this problem and I've since found that the crash happens if I use ie7. If I use firefox the page will load normally and I can watch the feeds without issue and the router doesn't reboot.

Does it work if you turn off RTSP ALG?

Hi All,
Running D-link DIR-655 A3 with Firmware version 1.11, using Internet Explorer 7 with Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 and I am not having any issues, whatsoever. This is a Desktop Wireless Computer with DWA-552 installed. I do have Comcast/Mcafee Internet Security Suite installed, however, only VirusScan and Personal Firewall Plus. Nothing else actively protecting me.

We were able to successfully stream from that website without issue. Using a DSL modem and the 4500 with the 1.12 code.
I'll see if I can get it tested again.

Good, thanks. I am connected to a Westell 327W in bridge mode. My ISP is Verizon DSL but the connection profile is not PPPoX but is standard ethernet (WAN default settings).

Ok, we'll test it agian. What are the speeds of your connection?

3000/768 Kbps
Also..
Disabling SPI successfully avoids this issue without disabling the RSTP ALG..
To do this:
1. Log into your configuration web pages
2. Click on Advanced - Firewall Settings (DIR-655) or Advanced - Firewall (DGL-4500)
3. UN-check the checkbox for SPI (leaving the RTSP ALG checkbox checked)
4. Click on Save Settings
5. If not prompted to reboot the router, then click on Tools - System and choose the "Reboot the Device" button.
With my device configured this way, I can visit the offending page without the router restarting or becoming unstable.
