Bit the bullet and upgraded, it passes all of the usual tests, does not kill your settings, does re-enable WPS(I think). I usually turn this off right out of the box, but I may not have since I turned on 5Ghz for use in my office. Since it kept all of my other settings and WPS being "ON" was default, I proabally did not turn it off. I was not using wireless on this router until recently. Keeping the RF as far away from my other gear has proven fruitful in the early days, less crashes of the network gear in the early days. This router does not seem to be effected by the radios being on though, they are just so low powered compared to my A/P. I keep the high powered A/P a couple of meters away from all of the other gear.
Still getting 105Mbps x 5Mbps and IPV6 is flawless(The only major site I use that supports IPV6 100% is Facebook, so far, I even make Video calls using IPV6 on the DIR-825).
Kids just got up so it should get wrung out pretty good with Xboxing.........
This router is a couple of years old, if it died today and one was NOT local to be purchased, I would order a new one and make the household wait. Turning me into a fanboi.......
I love a matured product.
