Firmware 1.20 & 1.21 Bugs
« on: September 30, 2008, 06:49:59 PM »
Web GUI:
1. Advanced menu

a. Inbound Filter

- The 'Add Inbound Filter Rule' does not allow subnet based range.

Example: 192.168.1.224 255.255.255.224

It will result in error message "Invalid IP address: 255.255.255.224" when click on the Add button.
However, if I use specific ip address, eg. 192.168.1.230 255.255.255.255, it works fine when click on the Add button.

Use of subnet-based range used to work in previous firmwares, and I still have the configuration populated via configuration file. However, now with newer firmwares, when I tried to add new rules, the validation mechanism does not allow me to use subnet-based range.

speed...
apparently it affects the internet speed not just wlan to wlan copy.
with 1.11 i have my nice speed of 3.5MB/s while downloading (sometimes even ~ 5MB) while with 1.21 it's capped at ~500KB

This sounds like quite a discrepancy.  How do you account for this?

simple, i copied a large file through the network and downloaded one of those 1000MB files from a website where i know i usually get the maximum speed (it's usually at 3.5MB (megabytes), the 5MB i can only reach through 2 parallel streams)
i installed the new firmware, speed on the network was bad...okay 1.5MB instead of 7-8MB (total commander displays the speed). then i tried downloading something and i was stuck at 500, i tried from some place else and same thing.
i rebooted the router, no change.
got fed up and rolled back to the 1.11 eu from the dlink uk site, and presto, afterwards speeds were back
