So, I got my RMA replacement the other day,  It was labeled: HW A3, FW 1.10
To my surprise, it was already preloaded with FW 1.32b09NA (well, it was dated 11/05/09, so I'm assuming).

I go to set it up anyway, and while I'm setting it up, it constantly resets!!  Seriously... what the heck is goin on?

I called their "tech support" zombie, and they offerred to walk me through setting it up or I can call the RMA dept and ask for another one.   He did say that I can request to have the old 1.10 firmware as a replacment though.  Thats interesting...

So, now I'm pretty ticked.  All you guys have hit the nail on the head:  I think DLINK really screwed up with their 1.3x firmwares, and you can't go back.

This is really stupid.

I have went back and forward.

My original unit, after a power glitch, started acting up.  Thinking maybe the firmware could be messed up, I updated the firmware to 1.21, didn't make a difference.  I tried official 1.3x and it didn't work either.
It would constantly reset and drop all connections.
Finally, I tried the 1.32b09NA and it seems to be stable, everything but the wifi. The wifi still drops all the connections every 30 seconds.  So...
A- Its damaged
B- It appears the last 1.32 FW helped.
C- It appears that the Firmware in general is touchy and flakey.

I got a replacement, and they sent me the same unit with 1.32b09NA already loaded.  This new replacement seems to be just as bad as mine after the power glitch.  I can't even configure it for 30 seconds before it resets itself. 

So, not sure what the deal is, but now I have to call them again, and see if I can get another one, with the original 1.10 firmware or something.  This is really a huge waste of time.

There is a newer firmware that was just released and is seems to have solved some peoples issues.

Yah, tried the 1.33 on replacement unit that is still fully resetting randomly.  It takes about 3 tries to get the firmware loaded becuase it sometimes resets while loading the firmware before it finishes.
So, I tried 1.33 and nothing changed.  Thats when tech support asked to go back to 1.31.
Still nothing changed, so I called yesterday during business hours, and was on the phone for 45 minutes with a guy who kept putting me on hold while he "figured" out what to do.  By the time he was done and we got back to my issue: I've tried everything you guys asked, the replacement unit is useless, send me another one, he tells me that now the California office is closed, to call back tomorrow.  great....

I hate outsourced tech support.
