I think something in 1.20 makes the router overheat. Try raising it of the table a little, don't place it on top of another device that generates heat, and see what happens.
I did this a while back with good results.

i highly doubt that yyyy

Hi. I've been following this post for some time now. I also have reboot issues with this router. I got this router almost the day it was introduced to Best Buy. I have had to reboot the router starting last firmware update only about once a month. but now with 1.20, I have to reboot like 2 times a week. as soon as I figure how to upload all that stuff the moderators want, I will.

Well once again it turned stupid after 4 days and required a power cycle to get going again.  This is getting real old already.

Is there any word on this yet?

I've been following this thread since day-1 of the 1.20 firmware release, I am having the same issue with everyone else. Just wondering if D-Link can at least come out with a beta firmware (1.21 or something) that uses the same code as 1.15 but would get past the 1.20 no-downgrade mechanism.

I'd be happy to get back to 1.16 which would stay up w/o any interaction from me.  My son complained to me yesterday that the internet went out and of course it was the router.  Now that I'm using vonage I need the router to remain up all the time and 1.20 has made sure that isn't gonna happen.

Yeah, I have Vonage here too. Losing all phone service every couple of days is not OK.

I am in the market for a new router currently and after looking at the ratings on Newegg and other sites, I was leaning towards buying the 4500.  I have an XBox 360, a few computers, PSP, couple laptops, and the occasional friend who brings over his laptop.  I torrent, I want to stream video to my TV from my computer, I game heavily.

I want a really fast, but really reliable router with decent security.

I thought I'd found it.

But after reading this thread among others, I'm quite concerned that maybe my initial research...just wasn't very well researched.  Now I'm researching other routers while I watch to see what D-Link does with the firmware for this router.  I also don't like the fact that you can't downgrade firmware with D-Link.  I'm currently using a Netgear router which has served me faithfully and well for 7 years.  It's a tank and NEVER goes down.

The only reason I want a new router is because the Netgear router I have has an antiquated wireless standard (802.11b).  I would like to use my new Xbox360 as a media extender and stream video which I simply can't do with B.

But I'm in utter fear of buying a router that will lose internet access often and require constant reboots.

D-Link, if you're reading this, be aware that some prospective customers are waiting to see how you handle the latest firmware issues.  I personally don't think I'm going to wait longer than a couple more weeks before I just decide to buy another router if this isn't resolved.  Good luck to all of you having issues and good luck to you D-Link in fixing them.  I'm still waiting here as I'm hopeful the 1.20 firmware issues will be resolved shortly.  Remember, communication is key and also...there are plenty of potential buyers out there like me who are hesitating to buy your product and would like to see some resolution.  You may lose those customers to another company if you wait too long.  Personally, the router looks great and I hope to buy it.  Good luck all.

**Update**

Possible beta firmware by next week. Keeping fingers crosses. How's everyone holding up?

How's everyone holding up?

Funny. 

But thanks for making an effort!

Can anyone tell me where to find my syslog server log ? I enabled it to my computer but cant seem to find it anywhere. Syslog server IP address is my computer. But where ? Yea I know, I'm a n00b.

Something that I've noticed is that my router will run for a day or two and not show any lan errors.  Then just before it turns stupid the lan error count will begin to creep up from zero and continue to grow until the router requires a power cycle.  I would tell you the error count but I cannot access the router at that time.

That's the exact same issue I had with 1.15.  I find it odd the issues people are encountering with 1.20 are what I encountered with 1.15, and vice versa.  It's almost like there's some hidden switch that is being flipped that works for some systems and not others.

I could easily accelerate the router from going practically unresponsive by doing a simple computer to computer copy.

Frustrated, and everytime this PoS Firmware (or who knows maybe it's the router itself) goes south I become more and more disgusted with Dlink that they could totally tarnish the DGL line like this.



I'll bet most of us in here UPGRADED from the 4300, and the main reason they went with this new router (4500) was the rock solid rep and performance it has.  It just makes me sick to my stomach that a group of developers, project managers, and company as a whole, could let this happen not once, not twice, but within multiple firmware releases for any product.

SHAME ON YOU DLINK!
For testing our product trust, our consumer loyalty, and insulting our intelligence.

Forcing firmware to not allow downgrade. FAIL!

Quality testing FAIL!

I don't know about the others here but my patience is wearing thin.
