The Dlink Dir-655 update site has posted Firmware 1.22 today but if I use the search for function in the firmware page it is not found and 1.21 is recognized as the most up to date firmware release.

It lists only a few fixes. Is there any documentation about this?

I've downloaded the file which is approx. 1.4 meg but I will not get a chance to try this upgrade until later when I don't have so many computers online.

If anyone has tried this, please post some results

Upgraded and setting were retained so no reloading configuration.
DNS relay seems to be working OK so far.
Comes with Securespot and was enabled by default so I disabled.

That is about it for now.

Edit: After further testing I have found I need to once again disable DNS relay.

Any chance that 1.22 fixed the Wake on Lan (WOL) issues?

Down grade back to 1.11.
We've got another 1.22 coming, we're told they believe they've pin pointed the DNS relay issue.

Using 1.22 on A2 hardware- no issues at all.  Did have to restore the configuration file after the flash.

Down grade back to 1.11.

Just what does this mean exactly? Why downgrade so drastically to 1.11? How soon/how long until we can expect this new ''1.22 coming''?

Now... See www.dlink.com

Misread, sorry

So there is another one coming out?

I just noticed the v1.22 firmware files on the FTP have changed. The release notes file is different, and also the firmware's MD5 has changed.

Why not simply bump it up to 1.23 or 1.221 to reduce confusion?

Yeah, that and the funny fact that the previously posted version was actually the newer version than the latest posted. The ''new'' one is dated January 5th while the previous one was much later--unfortunately don't remember exactly when because I ''upgraded'' to the ''new'' version.

Now I'm confused...

That would be too logical to do.

Seems to be working fine so far. I'm not sure which "1.22" I have. The release notes have 1/22/09 but the version tag on the admin screen is 1/5/09.

I was experiencing wireless connection drops across different G clients (laptop, Wii, Roku, etc.) with the 1.21 and 1.20 rev which have been eliminated with this version so far (only 4 hours of testing of course). I was going to back down to 1.1x today after troubleshooting several hours last night...good timing.

UPDATE: Still having occassional wireless drops on 1.22. Annoying but I can deal with it untill 1.22 is released again for me to test. Seems this is a common issue with dozens of possible causes and solutions based on other posts.

Here's a little insight.

Version numbers are for TRACKING of versions. That being said if we come out with a firmware version 1.22b01 and a 1.22b02 and the b02 gets posted, but is found to have a flaw we'll post the working b01 until we can either fix the flaw (1.22b03) or get a new firmware 1.23.

Please do not ask me what constitutes a new firmware or a build change, they NEVER tell me.
(I'm guessing it has to do with how far in to the code they have to go to effect the fix/change.)

We can NOT just change the numbers as that would skew our tracking process and also disrupt error reporting to our software people.

Hope this shed's some light on the situation for you guys and helps you to be less confused.

[Neblinio]

I understand that, Lycan.
A quick suggestion, though: I think the router's check for new firmware function should be able to detect a newer build of the firmware version installed, and offer to update.
