I went the RMA route and just connected to the RMA website; i figure that I have the router and that should be proof that I purchased one but after receiving the replacement I send the replacement back and kept my upgraded one (disabling DNS Forwarding does appear to work, I can report with certainty).

When I opened the replacement and inspected it I noticed it had scratches and was somewhat dirty (I suspect they send refurbished units).  Well, since I know how well I took care of mine I chose to keep mine and live without DNS forward for now than to have a refurbished one that may have who-knows what issues, especially since it would be immediately out of warranty.

These are the types of errors that seem to be associated with the problem for me:

2009-05-24 11:53:05   System3.Info   192.168.1.1   Sun May 24 11:54:18 2009 D-Link Systems DIR-825 System Log: DNS relay ALG rejected packet from 192.168.1.5:65488 to 204.194.232.200:53

...I had been using a saved configuration but rebuilt it from scratch after reading the forum. I've been up for 4 days so far, but I was up for 6 days between reoccurences in the past.

Based on what kenargo said, I should have waited to get my replacement before sending out mine.  I hope mine isn't a refurb unit, and that it doesn't have these problems.  Honestly, if it ships with 1.11NA I'm going to be really angry especially if its still A1 hardware.  On the other hand, if it does show up with 1.01, I'll just leave it at that until a better firmware is released (hopefully soon).

No good... the same problem happened this morning after 4 days. This was after I started with a clean, default configuration and manually put the changes back.

Mine locked up after 4 days without any changes made to the default configuration.  Possible memory leak?

Have you disabled DNS Relay?

Have you tried turning off DNS relay?

I didn't try that because I didn't find time to go and update all my DNS settings manually on all my devices yet.

You shouldn't have to manually enter anything.  Just either restart the devices or release/renew dhcp.

Good to know... thanks. I assumed I would have to manually enter my ISP's DNS servers... didn't realize it would distribute them via DHCP. I've turned it off now so we'll see how it goes.

Yeah, I had assumed the same thing (cause I have a 655 that also has this issue).  But it does :)

Got my replacement 825, brand new, sealed in shrink-wrap, but its still A1, and it wanted to update itself 1.11, so how about no.  Guess I'll wait for the next firmware.

So many days and still NOTHING!!  DLINK obviously doesn't give a hoot about customers!

I'm sorry but I switched to DLINK because the other guy released a router that was unable to keep a connection more than a couple hours and DLink was worlds better but now DLINK locks everyone into a version (because they don't allow downgrade) and then the solution (found by customers and not DLINK engineers) is to disable a feature in the router (which I used in many devices in my network).  This is not acceptable!!!

If the company I worked for did this and allowed it to continue for this long we would be in court and maybe that is what it will take here as well.  I'm sure somewhere there is a lawyer thinking the same thing and I for one will strongly think about joining if I where contacted and that is saying something because usually I wouldn't.

So D-Link definitely messed this up, but if you disable dns relay, you don't have to manually enter dns on all the machines.  Worst case you just restart the device although most of the time you can just connect/disconnect.

I am not sure why so many people are oposed to turning dns relay off.  Obviously you shouldn't need to turn it off but atleast the router works if you do.

Its also strange how the mods have been silent within the last couple days.
