Title: Router Reboots
Post by: codispdp on October 16, 2009, 09:32:27 AM: I just purchased a DIR-655 and upgraded the firmware too 1.32NA and the hardware version is A4. Here is my problem, whenever I use Outlook 2003 to send/receive mail and there are messages with attachments the router performs a reboot. And sometimes even without using Outlook it will reboot for no reason.

Also there tons of UDP messages being blocked in the logs.
Blocked incoming UDP packet from 24.127.172.225:12735.

I have a Cable Modem: Motorola SB51000 with 10mb access

I just got rid of a LinkSys and bought this router, don't tell me I made the wrong choice, can anyone offer some suggestion on how to stop the reboots

I will say the following post from another member cleared up my router reboots. Mine has been up for approx 20 days without a reboot:

To help address disconnection issues with the DLink DIR-655, make these settings on the router:

Under Advanced --> QOS engine --> QOS engine setup:
Uncheck Dynamic Fragmentation

Under Advanced --> Advanced Wireless -->Advanced Wireless Settings:
Uncheck Short GI

Under Setup --> Internet --> Manual Internet Connection Setup:

Under Setup --> Network Settings --> Router Settings:
Uncheck Enable DNS Relay

Under Setup --> Network Settings --> DHCP Server Settings:
Check Always Broadcast

Under Setup --> USB Settings:
Set "My USB type" to WCN Configuration

Under Setup --> Wireless Settings --> Manual Wireless Network Setup:
Set 802.11 Mode to Mixed n,g,b
Check Enable Auto Channel Scan
Set Transmission rate to Best (automatic)
Set channel width to Auto 20/40
