Hello:
I am a proud(?) new owner of a DIR-655. I would like to configure it so that it uses local LAN address 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.0.1 -- I have found that once I change the address (and it is smart enough to automatically change the DHCP address range to be within the new subnet), I can't SAVE any settings! I can save things BEFORE I change the address. This is weird, and I tried this with Firware 1.11 (shipped version) and 1.21. Has anyone seen this before? Also, I can't flash it back to an older version from 1.21 -- I tried 1.20 and 1.11. If I'm doing something silly, please let me know!

I've noticed that even though I change subnet, after the reboot I can still reach the router on 192.168.0.1! Weird -- maybe it's an ease-of-use feature. At that point, I reboot a second time just to kill that listener.
If you power off and power on after making the subnet change, can you save additional changes?

We add a netbios name of 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.01 i believe. try it.

Based on other posts in this forum, I reset the router to deafults and then 1) disabled auto uplink speed detect in the QoS section and 2) disabled DNS Relay. Now I can save settings (and was also able to down-rev the firmware to 1.20). I didn't try one thing at a time (it was already late at night), so I don't know if only changing only 1 thing would make a difference. I did note that before I made the settings changes, every time I tried to save settings the router management web page would go to a "detecting gateway performance" (or something like that) page - when it evetually returned to a router configuration page (or login page), the new settings would not have been saved.
