Chris, I'm surprised that this new 4500 with v1.15 loaded is having the same issues. Seems that having 2 of the same 4500s having different FW versions and now the new one exhibits the reboot issue. This would make me feel that there is something else up the lines that is causing this reboot or possibly a configuration issue.

What ISP service are you using? DSL or Cable? If you have DSL. I have worked with my buddy in OK that has a 4500 and had several issues with his DSL. Look for ATT DSL posting from me in this forum about his history. Turn out it wasn't the 4500.

If cable. Can you let us know how this unit is set up and what is all connected? including DSL/Cable modems, switches and other devices connected. What HW version is this new 4500? A1 or A2? What kinda of configurations have you done and changed?

Please let me know if you have reviewed the Gaming and GameFuel stick I posted. This works well for most people and have had good luck with this testings for Gaming and general internet use. Disregard the Gaming section if you don't game on PC or Consoles. I have to re-edit that for PCs and not consoles. Let us know if we can help.

Again as crazy as this sounds you have to treat each router differentlty when it comes to what firmware they run most effectively. From what I gather a1 run better on firmware 1.15 and below, the a2 models run better off of firmware 1.2x. Again as ^ stated there might be more to it.

 >:( not to be rude but when you spend 150-200$ on a router you would think it would be working for the most part out of the box. i for one am very unhappy and have moved to a linksys 610n running dd-wrt i am getting great signal and no drops, as for my dgl-4500 its sitting in a box till a firmware that works is released

You have every reason to be upset, we should not have to go through so much trouble for an item that expensive. Hit them in the wallet next time you by a different brand router and they might realize they should have fixed this whole mess...

What is your current firmware? (you probably know this but to clarify for other people) If it is the 1.2x firmwares you will have to downgrade using custom 1.15 firmware then upgrade it to the real 1.15 firmware. Also try to do a manual reset on your router their should be a button on the back of it. I heard this will clear the memory that is blocking the upload. Please let us know if it helps.
