Just received an email a few minutes ago stating they shipped it back today. Just hoping it's a brand new sealed revision B1 model.

Hey Furry do you think they will send me a new sealed DIR-655? I'm kind for nervous and don't want a refurbished one. Hopefully I get it this week.

All DLink products are not sealed persae, they are in a anti static bag and a sticker closing one end, new and refurbs. Didn't they say if they could fix yours you would get yours back?

They said they sent out a replacement Rev B1. That's the only info they gave me. They didn't say new or refurbished or anything.

Keep us posted on when you get it. I would keep the FW version it comes loaded with and test it before doing any FW upgrades.  ;)

Just got the router a few minutes ago and hooked it up with the firmware it came with which is 2.07NA. They sent me a used DIR-655-SW. At least it looks used the way it came in a used box and used stickers on the router itself. But is seems to be working properly. Just curious what is the SW in the model name stand for? Never seen that before.

Not sure what SW means. Usually I see RE means "refurb". Let us know how this one works out for you.

Well at least all 3 antennas are putting out a signal this time. Though my old WTR54GL is putting out a much stronger signal in the same location. I did some research and the SW was a anti virus software package they threw in with the router. Seems this router was produced in 2010 and the one I turned in was a 2012 model. Any hardware differences in B1 models over the years? So far so good handling light wireless duties right now.

I take it SW stands for Software as it includes a 1 year anti virus program from CA.
