Best f/w for the DIR-655
« on: June 04, 2011, 10:27:24 AM »
Been running v1.21 (11/7/08) on the DIR-655 A3 for some time. This is for a friend and he hasn't made any comments. I wanted to check in and find out what was the best version of firmware for this router.  I see they are all they way up to v1.35NA as of 12/28/10.

If it is working like you want , there is no need to change.

That's hard to tell as this guy doesn't complain much and I like to help him out.  That's quite a jump in f/w and I see a couple of things that may make sense to update.  So, unfortunately I don't know if it's working good or not.

The recommendation would still be helpful.  Anyone?

Don't do it.  I got 1.35NA on my A2 HW and I can't even get it accept anyother update, not even the 1.34NA version. 

I managed to download another with A4 HW to 1.21 and all the problems I had accessing my security camera just went a away on using the exact same config file.

I *Sooooo* wished I had stayed at 1.21.

Thanks,
Ronst

Interesting.  Why would u have stayed with 1.21?  Or did you make a big leap from 1.21 to where u are now?

I have an A4 and it came with 1.32 and it had problems so I upgraded to 1.33 and it was OK for a while. After some time it to started acting up, So I used the downgrade route and went to 1.21 and all has been well ever since. I WILL NOT CHANGE FROM THIS FIRMWARE.

As long as no one hacks into your router then you are OK.

Hi SBMongoos,

Why stay with 1.21? Because when you install a newer version from 1.21, you can't go back to Version 1.21 without difficulties.

Version 1.21 works just fine. To upgrade, just to upgrade is no valid reason to upgrade.
