should I upgrade firmware??
« on: February 06, 2011, 09:25:01 AM »
Hi

I have a Dir655 A2, currently running on firmware 1.33NA.

Should I upgrade to 1.55NA to achieve rates close to 300Mbps?

Is 1.35NA better than 1.33NA?

Are there any risks involved in upgrading and tp the performance of the A2 router?

Thank you!

If your not experiencing any problems it's recommended that you keep what is loaded on the router.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Not tweakable. Increasing signal power is not always the solution. In certain environments lowering the signal power gives a better connection quality .
