« on: August 03, 2008, 07:44:38 PM »
Is there anything different between the original shipping version and the new ones that are shipping?

Thanks

Right, but are there any other hardware differences?  i.e. new chips used, etc?

Radio change and obvious firmware adjustments.
Newer radio supposedly has slight increase to transmit power.

I am VERY satisfied with the new revisions in terms of speed, performance etc.

I am having a VOIP issue which I am tearing my hair out over but other I think its the best dual band router out there today

So the new version is faster than my old 855?  That is pretty lame.    >:(  Did you buy your new one or did they swap it for you?  D-Link should take care of the early adopters who got hosed with those faulty 855s.

D-Link is "Taking Care" of the early adopters, if you know of one that hasn't been "Taken Care" of they should call in for support. Make sure they have a HW A-1.

VOIP issues, what VOIP issues? DLink has yet to acknowledge the issues with your 855 or my 655 with 1.20. Good luck!

Hello Lycan,

According to Administrator "AWDL" posted that D-Link is "Taking Care" of the early adopters, if you know of one that hasn't been "Taken Care" of they should PM Lycan or call in for support. Make sure they have a HW A-1."

In my case, I have a HW A-1 DIR-855, can you please advise me on how I can exchange my HW A-1 DIR-855 to a HW A-2 DIR-855?


Please let me know...
Thanks...

PM Lycan or call in for support

If you PM Lycan, you might get a quicker response.  Or call corporate.

This is from D-link Support page:
Quote
NOTE: A small amount of the new D-Link DIR-855 dual-band routers, which were part of an initial product distribution, have antenna leads that were mis-configured at the factory and may perform normally but not up D-Link’s highest level of performance standards. The serial numbers of these units range from F30A17C000019 to F30A17C000118. If you happened to purchase one of these units, and are experiencing a weak or less-than-optimal wireless signal, you should call our corporate office (800-326-1688) where our dedicated team of support personnel will help you execute the warranty for the product

I've arranged it so that all you have to do is call in to support and they should take care of you assuming that your serial number is within the scope of units that were "troublesome".

I still cannot find the DIR-855 on sale at any of the usual places (Amazon, MWave, NewEgg, ZipZoomFly). Can you comment, Lycan? What is the hold-up?
