Okay, I am at my wits, here. Every damn time i connect to a irc chat channel or downloading torrents under heavy loads, and uploading simultaneously, the damn router drops random connections. WTF, dlink...do something about it. Every day I experience a random connection lost. I should just Return this hunk a junk hardware and go with another provider. man what great customer service.

I have posted several times about this issue, and none of the procedures and suggestions work, other than revoking my firmware back to 1.15 which will void my warranty, which i think is a bunch of horse sh** just so this "random drop connection lost" would stop haggling me.

Your best option would be to have Dlink do an RMA for you. If you think that the router is bad then I would return it and try a different one. I and others have been using v1.22NA since they released it and it's been working great. I have done numerous downloads and play xbox live. I've even tested downloads from others on here to check and see if I'm experiencing the same thing. v1.21NA had the random hangs and reboots. v1.22NA fixed those issues. I would return the unit and try a different one. And yes, I asked DLink about regressing to v1.15, doing this will void the warranty. Good luck.

I was at wits end, too, and everything I tried was not working.  This was back in the day when upgrading from 1.15 (which was on the device) to 1.20 made it a permanent upgrade.

I bought the router at a local Best buy, and it was a Rev A model, and it gave me nothing but fits - so much so that, after complaining about my issues (which were massively dropped connections, but rare random reboots) I RMA'd my device.

I was disappointed to get a Rev A model back, as I figured the Rev A2 would significantly improve my performance, but...

I can tell you right now - I am running 1.22 NA on this replacement, and it works beautifully.  So much so that here are my most recent statistics:

I expect to have issues with my wireless - after all, I am running N only, and I have a DROID (that supposedly only supports wireless G) connecting to it for testing when I realized that my DROID supported connecting to an N router when the router was broadcasting wireless connections at 2.4 GHz.

Trust me - RMA your puppy *before* you decide to return it.  You'll be happy.

Yea, I agree. I have a A2 running 1.22NA and I am happy as a clam.

As for your rant...I will answer it with one of my own. When I see a post like that, all I want to do is ignore it. It didn't have any info on it about your set up or actual problem. What did you expect to get out of this thread? Us or Dlink to wave a magic wand? Edit OP with a relevant breakdown of equipment, symptom, steps taken please.  Thank you.

A2 here with 1.16b3 and I have no intention of changing it.

[FurryNutz]

HEY Puff, are you on Cable or DSL? I got a guy that has an A2 and made the mistake of updating to v1.22NA. Says he can't host games or looses the host when playing xbox. Is 1.16b3 any good? I had him try v1.15 and still wasn't any good. Said v1.14 was great and ever since, the router isn't working well.
