Hello!
I use my router for few months and I'm very satisfied with it. It is on firmware v1.11. Now I would like to use the shareport functionality, what was one of the reason why I've chosen this router. I know I should update the firmware to this. I've read a lot about firmware versions, but the opinions and experiences are very various. But the reliability is important for me.
Please help me, what is the best firmware now, and where I can download? Is there any official recommendation?
I hope someone can help me. Thank you!

Thanks for your quick response.

Khoo, it is far from the release... :-[
I've spent 3 hours to breathe life into the router. :(
The lessons are:
- don't reload the configuration saved from previous firmware (-> forget it!)
- don't setup the configuration of the router with active internet connection (-> disconnect while you are configuring)
- don't try to set the time with time server (-> copy the time from your computer)
Benefit:
- usb share works. ;)

1. Absolutely right. Although it can go either way (good/bad)
2. Why not? Never had any issues
3. Use the dlink timeserver, works all the times

1. It is just an experience, nothing scientific.
2. I don't know the reason. I just know that the router collapsed minute by minute while it was connected and it measured and measured the line again and again. After I disconnected, it became configurable immediately, at first after the firmware update and saved the settings at last. (It took more than 1.5 hours while I figured out.)
3. I tried. But to set current date that needs to save settings. After saving, the router was in 1994 again and I should have started this again. Now it works with set date manually. I don't dare try to use automatic configuration. ;D I fear of it drops itself again.
And what also made me sad a bit, that using the share(d)port is exclusive (I connected a usb stick). There can't be concurrent use. Actually this is not shared, it is just "accessible".
But on the whole, I'm happy because my router works again! :D
Happy Easter to you! :)
