NO real speed difference noticeable. There have been no new changes to the radio part and the transmit power was already maxed (100 mw for legal reasons). But it seems to be quit stable.

speaking of firmware download and stuff alike, the A2 here in canada, has never ever reported new firmware version since 1.10. Don't know what that is all about but I guess it doesn't work in Canada? Never reported it before, well once actually, only because it's not a big deal. :P Since I havn't made a post in a little while I thought to write this. anywayyys. tootaloo.

Well, I'm a follow Canadian and installed the 1.31 without any issues on my A2. If you take a look on the Dlink.ca site, you'll see the 1.31 is there, same as the US site. HTH.

Has anyone had experience with 1.31 firmware on an A4 unit?  If so, can you compare now against any prior 1.2x firmware with the unit?

On my A4 was using the original 1.20 until a couple days ago.  Noticed an improvement in wireless performance, much less Errors and Dropped Packets, otherwise, same...

Hi,

Some interesting thread here....  I like many other users of this forum have been looking to make a decision to upgrade my firmwware (or not) in hopes to improve stability or performance (hopefully both), and am not flummoxed by the debate, in case I am also one of those people whose router and environment might evoke the problems that others are seeing;m rather than a nice simple update that the other others have seen....

As to the wireless signal drops and such that have been reported from the update to the 1.31 firmware, I would likely concur with what others have said about the new firmware perhaps stressing the hardware in some slightly different way that is pushing individual units into some type of instability scenario(s).  I saw this PLENTY with my old Netgear (WGT-624) unit from some sort of overheating of the wireless chipset, and I assure you Their user forum was littered with complaints form folks who were having the same types of issues, not just 5 or 10....so much so that netgear eventually took down their forum "for upgrades" and seemingly months and months of forum threads "went away"....

To that end, i chose the Dlink unit because they had a better "rep" than what I saw with netgear.  I used what I learned in working with my Dlink....  Use a vertical orientation, in that it aids with internal heat flows / transfer...  I always run my router off a battery-backed up powerline (implying a certain amount of voltage stabilization).... and I run my VoIP box in between my cable modem and my 655, rather than stringing it off the 655, then I set up a DMZ inside the VoIP box for the router's IP.

Just my .02

Hello everybody!

I had mistakenly updated my 1.21EU firmware to 1.31NA. And my biggest problem is, that the EU version hasn't released yet. So far, I am experiencing problems with 1.31 :S Okay, I know, stupid me...
So here is my problem: After I updated my firmware, sometimes I cannot access the internet, and my router's config page too. After that happens I press on the router the Refresh button, I disconnect, then reconnect, and it's working again.. But it happens hourly sometimes, or often than that.
I have a notebook with wi-fi, with cables the problem doesn't occur, but I am living with flatmates, so it would be very difficult to use cables.
I did a 30-30-30, and reinstalled the 1.31 firmware, but it didn't solve the problem.

What should I do? Is there a non-Europe 1.31 firmware, that is compatible with my device? Oh yes, I forgot to mention, that I have the A4 version of the router.

Thanks for your reply in advance!

(And sorry for my bad English...)

But the product's support page says:

Try the new 1.32NA beta version.
It is working fine here in EU with Cable Internet and a "normal" ADSL modem too.

In the moment there is no other firmware you can use as you can't downgrade to a 1.2x version.

I can't find it here.

1.32NA is still beta firmware at the moment which is why you won't find it listed on the main support page.

When can we expect a 1.3x version for Europe?
