I have a DIR-655 rev A4 with firmware 1.35NA.

I read http://www.dlink.com/products/?tab=3.firmware&pid=DIR-655&rev=DIR-655 which stated that the SECURESPOT feature was removed as of firmware 1.35NA but since upgrading the router to 1.35NA I find the following two log entries mentioning securespot being initiated:

[INFO]   Sat Jan 22 21:01:21 2011   Initiating securespot services.
[INFO]   Sat Jan 22 21:01:21 2011   Allocating securespot services.

I will mention, before upgrading to 1.35NA I was running the stock 1.21 firmware that shipped with this router. Prior to updating to 1.35NA I had taken a backup of the router settings and after the firmware update was applied I restored this settings backup. Could that be the reason this log entry is showing up?

It makes me think securespot is not really removed as is claimed in the release notes for this firmware.

Can anyone else with a DIR-655 A4 w/firmware 1.35NA confirm the above two log entries mentioning securespot appear in the log (assuming ALL log settings are turned on) when your router is rebooted?

--With kind regards--

I resolved this issue by:
1) Restoring router back to factory settings thru admin interface.
2) Re-flashing firmware 1.35NA
3) NOT restoring the settings backup from when the router was at firmware v1.21
4) Re-adding all the config from scratch that I had prior to the firmware update.

When changing families of firmware 1.2X -> 1.3X.  Its best not to use saved configs as a family change usually mean a major change in the firmware and restoring the config can lead to more issues than you want..  I consider 1.34 -> 1.35 a major change too as it removes a complete service setting.
