I upgraded my 655 to firmware 1.32NA from version 1.21 and noticed that I could not upload my config file after giving me an error. I entered into the Wireless configuration and started to manually enter the configuration and then when I went to save the settings I would get the error 'Can not use a multicast MAC address in WDS'. The only actual item that it let me change successfully was turning the radio off. After that though if I enter to enable it I get the same error again.

So after trying many different options and following some posts out there about this the problem still persists.

I thought I would update this as to what I have been able to accomplish and not so far.

I downgraded the firmware 131 and tried to configure the wireless settings and the error was still there. Just as the last thing I went into the firmware settings and selected 'Check Now' to see what would happen and there was a response that firmware 'DIR655A4_FW132NAb03' was available. I downloaded it and applied it to the router. Well once it finished and I entered into the configuration for the wireless it accepted all of my settings and the wireless is now back to where it was before the upgrade.

But as I write this it has been over an hour since I configured and successfully saved any changes now made to the router's config for wireless returns the same error as before 'Can not use a multicast MAC address in WDS'.

I have to say this is weird and not good at all. I am glad that I was able to get those settings into the router before it went sideways again. So I am still looking for any direction here on what to do next. I totally fear the next upgrade to my router.
