This is, to my knowledge, not a customer service board. This a discussion board for customers to get answers from other users and IT nerds. Dlink only moderates and provides some info. So I guess you're having a misconception about the peurpose of this board.

If you're not an IT guy and only looking for solid solutions, don't get mixed up in these discussions and just follow the formal customer service guidelines for reporting malfunctioning hardware (either by phone, email or your reseller). Just a thought, ofcourse.

And these issues are way past 'resetting and all is fine'. And I can kinda 'guarantee' you that Dlink also has no clue where to look since they cannot reproduce the issues mentioned in their lab environment. So getting more info from people who do suffer from these issues is not that a bad idea, wouldn't you say?

I agree, and im sry about this whining. Plain "more info" is still pointless to me.
Maybe it is easier to make firmware that allow us to downgrade again.  

[EddieZ]

well, to you it is pointless, but for a developper trying to debug any info is helpful when you have none to start with.

Perhaps that is easier, don't know what features were updated by the new Ubicom SDK/core in 1.31.

In consideration of other issues, there is a thread "port forwarding issues with 1.31" - using an HP Mediasmart Server with a DIR 655 where the Mediasmart automatically configures port forwarding, but after approximately 10 minutes the port forwarding fails (more details on the thread). This is another feature that used to work with 1.21 firmware. Something working briefly and then failing - sounds familiar, is it a coincidence? Just a thought
I have both these issues - Shareport and Mediasmart Port Forwarding.

Well my router can not save any port forwarding rules. No HP thing. Make rule, save & reboot = port forwarding page is empty again. Same with upnp on and off.

I'm wondering if there is someone who has no shareport issue with dir-655 fw 1.31NA (A4).
Does the problem happen only to very few routers reported in this thread ?

Is there someone who has no issue with dir-655 fw 1.31NA(A4) + shareport 1.10 ?

Unless I'm very unlucky so that I purchased the router with hardware defects,
I can hardly understand that D-link cannot reproduce this problem which
"apparently" many people have...

[PeterJvM]

Well, here I am again, let's be clear, I don't want to kick any bucket, but you want peopole tao report all settings.
Do you really want to know all windows settıngs, abd all other( maybe irrelevat )  settings people make?
Because this is what you ask and you repeatedly refuse to respeciffy, even though this is a board that people are referred through to by service representatives from D-Link if they can't present them with a satisfying solution. The inability from D-Link routes people to this very board and frankly the ^&&%'(('- way you and other so called experts treat them is lacking any respect.
I, for one, am working in IT for 40+ years, I have never seen such a lack of QA and QC ın any case as this. I'm not the only ( qualified ) one to react in this way and have been called a troll before because, INHO, that's the only '' response '' D-Link and YOU got left.

Hmm...pointing fingers again? Maybe that's why you were marked as a 'troll'?
To be honest, I've rarely seen so much opposition to an effort to actually try and solve issues that seem to be widespread, ánd which cannot be replicated by Dlink.

So put you money where you're 40-year experience mouth is and do something constructive instead of joining the pack and cry wolf.

Big E is really smart guy...

[EddieZ]

Thanks. You're not too bad either

Not really. It doesn't matter what kind of board this is. If you're gonna pretend to be the expert, at least give proper advice. If you are not even going to give real advice then why are you even posting? Sure, everyone can post whatever they want but at least stop accusing everyone for not doing constructive testing.

If you're not an IT guy

In fact I am an IT guy, and I work with all different kinds of routers and network setups every day. This is why I was able to exclude the network configuration om my computer as a possible cause. So far it seems you have ignored all trial and error though.

[R3XNebular]

Hardware failure may be a cause with one of the revisions. But this dragon has more heads (read: more causes). Opposed to your "4 PC's having the same problem" there's my (and others') "I have no issues" or " "three PC's work fine, only one is not able to connect" .

Who is this person you speak of? Can you post the link? Maybe ask him "HOW" KEY WORD "HOW" AND WHICH SETTINGS DIFFER to make one work and the other three work? Maybe you should post your settings for a start since it's working for you. Which settings am I speaking of? I don't know you keep referring to settings but WHAT SETTINGS. Vague answers are not very helpful.

[EddieZ]

You're asking for the winning lottery numbers. And that's, excuse the language, plain dumb.

You're all very selective in quoting and disregarding the fact I've made it very clear I don't have a solution. But if all you other "experts" prefer to keep ranting instead of actually acting as IT guys, please do.

Happy ranting!

Eddie - please post your router settings, page by page.  Once you do that, people can review their settings against yours and see if there are any differences.  It would also be very helpful if you detailed how your network is configured: what security suites you have on your systems, the anti-virus you are running, public/private settings, etc.  Again, people can compare their configurations to a known working one.
