Hey guys,

It's recommended that you don't load a config file from older firmware versions, it is suggested that you build a new config from scratch.

If it works for you great, but like we've seen before in the past when there is a base code update, the previous configuration file structure may have been altered causing the config to load improperly, even though it would appear that it was accepted.

If you have a lot of custom configurations on your router you can do screen shots of each page.

It seems that this is the same version as 1.20 beta 12, as expected - but without the beta moniker (same build date, however).

Shareport still isn't working for me.

How is shareport not working for you? What have you tried? what shareport version are you using? And yes it is the same build because it passed.

I decided to load this on as well.

Wireless speeds have still not improved, and everyones wireless connection in the house continues to drop out, where we have to reboot the router now.  I'd be playing a game, and other people would be browsing, and everything would start timing out. Tried various settings, and nothing!

Sure, it's fixed some of the problems we've had before, but it brings all these new ones.  I thought we were headed in the right direction too. 

Errors have increased a lot more now too!

This is after 10 minutes... :/

I'm becoming really disappointed in this router.  It's not giving me the results I want to see, especially when gaming.  Wireless is just piss poor now.

Can't we forward a msg to someone up and get Reinvented a new router?    Maybe your's is going bad?

Have you updated drivers on all your wireless cards?

[Reinvented]

Bud, please...

Yes, I've DONE everything.  There's nothing you can tell me that I haven't done, short of getting a new router.

I too downloaded the finalized version and the upgrade went off without a hitch. Like you the shareport utility that's posted for the dgl-4500 wouldn't work. Doing some experimenting I downloaded a version for the dir-685... WELL this thing works just like it was made for the 4500. the interface is totally different with a whole lot of info displayed about the device that is attached, this is a keeper! You have to go to My Computer and manipulate your files, or you can assign a file to open with a specific hardware attached.

No suprise when you think about it, the dir-655, 825, and 855 are very similar in h/w to the dgl-4500.

I tried flashing to the official version yesterday but when my router rebooted it still said 1.20NA and nothing changed.

[arod]

the official is the same build as the Beta.. we just made it official on the support site.. any firmware posted in the forums will be listed as beta unless noted otherwise

[Reinvented]

Wireless issue is definitely not Nvidia, or any other download site.  Even my torrents have trouble going past 325 KB/sec.  I am hoping that other people have not, and will not experience the same problems.  This router is old now... I've had it since February/March of 08, and it's probably been through over 15 different firmware versions.

Reinvented what H/W:Ver_ is your 4500?

[Puffnstuff]

This fw lets me top 2mbps sustained using bit torrent.

Well I just bought this router last week from newegg, and It has been horrible since. Kicks me off battle.net, Slows the connection to a crawl, Cant download torrents(a 258mb file takes 2 days!!!!) constantly dropping my wired connection!!! This is stupid, I thought my old crappy WRT54G router was bad. I bought this because it seemed like it had everything I needed, Guess I should just stay with my cheaper routers, at least they work. I think this one is going to be RMAed.
