Title: 1.21Build11Beta02: Played 3 hours of BF2 tonight! Crossing fingers!

Been following http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=4146.0 (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=4146.0).

After the OP's last post, I felt like going out on a limb and giving the beta a try too.

Flashed tonight.  Played Battlefield on several servers that used to drop me within a minute.  I didn't even have to mess with disabling SPI or changing the NAT settings.  Pings nice and low, even on servers I believe to be across the Atlantic somewhere.

I had been really frustrated with my 655, even thought about pitching it.  Been kind of rude here too.  Sorry.

(This is my explanation why I have been such a meanie)
You see I had problems with my Internet connection (physical cabling + bad modem) right around the same time I flashed to 1.21.  I had thought it was the firmware at first, but after the cable company repaired the problem I wasn't sure if the firmware was to blame anymore. 

I had my addiction to BF2, and BF2142 CUT OFF.  Not good people, not good.  I was racking my brains with patches, drivers, Punkbuster, etc.  NO JOY.

Until tonight.  Heck I might not go to sleep tonight and just play all night long.

Anyhow, the only settings I changed with the beta FW were:

These are all the settings I have ever needed to change in the past.

Whatever you guys are doing, keep it up.  Looking forward to the 1.22 Final (No Securespot for me please)
