Title: DIR-655 HW Rev. 3 keeps disconnecting after 1.21 update
Post by: dag_dg on February 14, 2009, 11:38:25 AM

Currently I'm using firmware 1.11 on the 655, and no matter how I mess with it it stays connected and works fine. As soon as I upgrade to 1.21 though, I start getting random disconnects from the WAN side. I'm able to access the router's configuration page just fine, however it doesn't show any issues on the status page. The WAN IP is accurate and shows connected, but I'm not able to connect to any website, and pings to IP addresses prove fruitless(it's not a DNS issue). I'm just curious if anybody else had similar issues and changed something after upgrading to 1.21 that fixed it. I don't really need the sharepoint features, but I would like to stay current with the firmware. Thanks.

I got that today, updating from 1.20 to 1.21. The problem went away when I installed 1.21, without Secure Spot, don't know why.

Install the beta 1.21 and see if that helps or roll back to 1.11 firmware.

It is confusing but 1.21 was released back in December 2008 and had some issues so 1.21b11beta02 was just released the last week of January 2009.

Remember it's beta (still a work in progress and buggy) 1.11 is beta also but that want has less features so it was stable for some. I use my DIR-655 as NAS_60, Multi-Function Printer Server and two more color servers for now on a Gig connections using share point.
