yeah , no changes with with this other then CAPTCHA disabled by default. I was hoping for something with teeth. :-\
-
Thanks. Does this fix the slow wireless connection that the beta firmware had? That is the issue I am experiencing with the router after installing the first 1.31 beta. 1.32 beta 1 did not correct the issue, how about this firmware?
-
I hope to god, this fixes the Shareport issue or im going to get very angry.
-
This version is only 4 days younger than the first one, so what can we expect ?
You posted your problems with 1.32 -> D-Link Mods read them and provided them to the developers in Taiwan -> they were reprogramming the whole firmware, testing it completely and delivering it back to D-Link NA -> D-Link NA posts the firmware after testing it extensively -> Everything is fine for everyone ;D
Reminds me of a fairy tale.
Think it needs one or two days longer...
-
Well, after installing this firmware there is no longer a slow wireless connection throughout my network. All I hope this stays like this for a few days, and if it does, Dlink finally got it right this time.

Weird name we have here? 1.32b02 beta 01. Beta 02 beta 01? ???

You guys read the release notes? 1. CAPTCHA disabled by default.
So if you had an issuse it will be back I'd bet money.
-
9. Fix reboot issue when connecting to Internet
Is this the DNS relay reboot, or the freeze that resembles NAT table overflow when DNS relay is off?
-
''Asps. Very dangerous. You go first.''
-
6. Add Advanced DNS Service feature.
Where is that? I skimmed through and couldn't find it.
-

Skim better and pay more attention.

I believe that was released with 1.31 with the intention to put a bandaid on the DNS issue.
-
Not worth the effort if you already have 1.32 Beta 01 IMHO. I can and have turned off CAPTCHA by myself.
-
Skim better and pay more attention.
So you don't know either.
If you knew you would share with the class right? Therefore it is obvious you don't and merely choose to bloviate. I know you do this in the other topic, so I must assume it is your approach to all topics. You know post with no answer then rudely reply to anyone with a real question.
If someone who does know where it resides would share I would be grateful. ( Never mind it wasn't new with this. I hoped it would allow for user modified NAT table increase and release time change. Oh well.)
Ps
Is there a block function? I don't want to waste any more of my time reading posts by clueless people.
Thanks.
-

There are tons of threads about this new feature in the forum, so the class already knows that you only have to look into the routers internet settings.

My mistake, which I gladly admit too, was misreading and assuming it was new to this latest firmware.
I had hoped it allowed user modified settings.
Settings to increase Nat table size and lower release time, like third party firmware has.
I was wrong about that.
If it were included in this particular firmware update it would be a "new" feature. It is an "old" feature. Unless that old feature has some spectacular modification which would make certain aspects "new".
-
Still having issues with WHS and port forwarding with this new beta. Damn!
-
all these fixes are old fixes back before 1.21 i believe, and most are 1.22b05 which for some reason was never released. anyways. again. 1.3x firmware is a bust and has no warrant for upgrading.
-

Never mind that, Xinot. :P
-
If the only change in this firmware were the disabled CAPTCHA by default, then it shouldn't really have 2KB more in size compared to the old one. That CAPTCHA thing may be the only visible change in the GUI.

Same here...

I noticed the same thing, there must be quite a few additional changes that aren't visible. Of course they never tell us everything they do, they certainly don't want to have informed consumers!
-
They have had to changed something else then what we were informed of. Like I mean, my wireless connection is not slow when more than 1 wireless client is connected to my network. Something has had to be corrected in the first build of 1.32 beta 1

Interesting. I take it from your comment that you WERE having slow connections when there was more than one client. If you got a bump in speed, that's enough motivation for me to update, not that I am having speed problems to begin with. I wasn't having CAPTCHA problems so I was ho-hum about the update but then, my motto has always been "If it ain't boke, break it so you can fix it, then break it again". This is the only way I've ever learned anything about computers, routers etc. etc. I get very motivated when I screw something up and that motivation leads to other discoveries. ok, not on topic.

Haha, well it seems the update has corrected a few bugs from the previous build. I hear ya, that is the same way with me, you can only learn when something breaks, and then you have to fix it. In my case, it was just frustrating having the router choking from at least 4 connected wireless clients within my network. Obviously this never occurred when the first beta was not installed, it happened right after. Now it seems there has to be more to this updated beta firmware then we already know. Dlink is not disclosing what really was fixed, which is somewhat odd. Either way, this current firmware has worked miracles for me and now I don't need to have thoughts on putting a hammer to this router haha :P.
By the way, what is "CAPTCHA"? Is it "Enable Graphical Authentication"
-
The most inportant question with choking wirless network connections is what those wireless clients are doing. I mean, it's not so hard to choke wireless, on every router.
Even better: if you really want your webpages to load faster there is no need to tweak your setgtings or router; just get a decent AD blocker. It's those things that slow down browsing substantially. You'll see that speed will pick up.
-

Actually, I only assumed that CAPTCHA was the "Enable Graphical Authentication". I didn't really know for certain (until I Googled it). Yes, CAPTCHA = "Enable Graphical Authentication".
Demonized, what AD blocker do you use?
-
In Firefox I use the free addin Ad Blocker Pro with various subscriptions (US, RU and NL), in IE8 I use the Inprivate filter and an imported xml file to block ads. I also use Chrome, but there's no option for addins yest, so you can consider using Privoxy (which is working for all browser at the same time)

Hi guys,
just bought a DIR-655 and upgrade from 1.20EU to 1.21EU do you think that worths to upgrade to 1.3 firmware series?

- I think it is worth it, looking at the improvements/bug fixes from 1.21 to 1.31... Let me know if you can get it to work - I tried upgrading to 1.31, but the box did not accept it.
-
Remember: you cannot go back to 1.2x or lower when upgraded to 1.3x.
Read the release notes!
-
bahaha. improvements. removal of features to make something insignificant work is not moving foward. pretty soon the dir-655 will only be an unmanaged router.

I'm experiencing some random crash with 1.3X. My best uptime reach only 2\3 days, before using 1.21beta07 EU uptime usually was misured in weeks. can anyone help me?

Define "crash". It turns off? It reboots? It stops, um, working? It's coming down from a weekend binge of some really strong stimulants? If you are having to "measure" your uptime no matter if it is in days OR weeks, there's something wrong whatever version of firmware you are flashing. Can you be more specific? Give details about your setup? Do you have a Teslacoil next to your router that you fire up every 2 or 3 days apart where before it was only every other week?
-
Clancy you are really hilarious... a mix beetwen Berlusconi and Mr.Bean!! ;D ;D
By the way I'm experiencig random reboots, and in order to be as understandable as my poor english allow to me, i used to express my uptime in weeks to explain that before the only reeboot were the ones i decide.
If you wont i can send you my config file i think that could be the best and clearest way to explain my setup to you...

Kicco, first of all I have to confess that I am not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree in relation to other members on the board. If you would like to send me your configuration I'd be glad to have a look as soon as I figure out how to not overwrite my own settings. One of the things I have observed when people report a problem is that they tend to leave out details that might seem small to them but could mean all the difference when it comes to a diagnosis. For instance, one contributor was seeing wireless restarts in his log file but it took several tries before he off-handedly mentioned that he had a Wii on his network. This little tidbit unlocked the answer. My belief is that troubleshooting a router is a lot like troubleshooting an illness. The doctor will want to know all kinds of specifics about that person such as, diet, home life, state of mind, exercise or no exercise, other medications, past history, past family history, bank account numbers. Forget that last one. Can you tell us what devices are accessing the router, what kind of internet service you have, do you have anything in the room that could be sending out conflicting 2.4GHz signals (such as wireless telephone base stations and handsets). What, if anything, might have changed between now and when you had better success. A new wireless or wired NIC? New software, new drivers, new car, new girlfriend. OK, that's enough to chew on. If you think my suggestions are worth while, tell us all about your setup and how long have you hated your <insert relative of your choice>? (a little Freud humor. Very little)

I just installed 1.32b02NA and it works well it seems. Fixed my printer issue. :)
Will keep you posted on any other issues.
Thank you!

Dang spoke too soon. Printer is not connecting unfortunately, still hangs in the print que.
Damn.

website filtering and port filtering not longer work. Yes i did all the standard jumps thru the hoops - factory reset, nvram resets, and manually entering info setting. Sad thing is I haven't tested my system in several firmware updates so not sure how long this has been failing, it did work with the original firmware. I've tried both 132beta's.
Firmware Version: ver1.32NAb01
Firmware Date: 2009/06/01
>ipVersion(Date): 7.6.1b0120 (2009, May 26)
>ipOS SDK Version: 7.6.3 P (1134)

When you open the zip you'll see that the firmware is the same size.

I just upgraded to this version a few days ago. I have the "DNS ALG relay packet" problem (effectively cutting of internet every other day until you reboot, many posts on this one).
Also already discribed in other threads that uploading my old settings in new firmware is not working (no longer able to log in, continuous reboots (look in other threads for a possible work around for that...).
This 132 creates a new symptom again. I just noticed that there was no wifi network anymore. I tried to login to the router, again no luck (as if I just uploaded a settings file, which i didn't).
So it seems still there is unstability to the software. After a few days it just gets stuck somewhere. Either cutting of internet with a DNS error in the log every 2 seconds or now this.
Always after a few days.
Is it really so hard to find this possible memory leak and fix it?
I have been calling on DLink support for 4 months now and I still have the feeling nobody at DLink cares a bit. these issues are not addressed seriously enough. Who do I need to contact to get a decent working product?

It's a fact that with these USB router port (also other brands) some scanners do not work properly. That's also because the way the scanner manufacturers sometime implement their drivers. So beware of pointing at one source only.
