I have an DIR-655 that I have had for about 5 years now.  It has been working great; however, all of a sudden every time I reboot the router, I get control characters at the end of the SSID.  I can delete them and save the configuration, but every time I reboot, they come back.

Hardware version: A2
Firmware version: 1.35NA

I have performed a factory reset on the router several times.  I have set it up with the following configuration:

802.11 Mode: Mixed 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n
Auto Channel Scan: enabled
Transmission Rate: automatic
Channel Width: 20MHz
Broadcast: invisible

Encryption: WPA-Personal
WPA Mode: Auto
Cipher Type: TKIP and AES

Even if I remove the SSID and disable the wireless configuration, the moment that I enable the wireless it makes the SSID dlin<ctrl character>.  I have highlighted the entire field and hit the delete key and then save config, but I keep getting this control character at the end of the SSID.

Any ideas woule be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for all of your effort in assisting with this issue.

What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF?

Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
Try setting a manual channel to a open or unused channel.
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto.

Any other WiFi routers in the area? Use InSSIDer to find out.
Turn off Short GI, WLAN Partition and Extra Wireless Protection if you have it. Under Advanced/Advanced Wireless.

Have you tried a completly different name for your SSID?
You could also try a reflash of the firmware to see if it fixes it.
