iconeater,

I've been monitoring your posts and yes you do have valid claims as do others here on the forums. This is a place for help and I don't know if you've been following this entire thread but there are other people here just like you trying to seek help. We are trying to help find a fix which is why we gathered some configs and captures from users who were kind enough to send it to us. Now that we have that we do have beta firmware on the way.

Oh and iconeater being all you do is bash D-Link you can go somewhere else with that. It's not going to help speed up the process of getting a fix.

further more i'm emphsizi-Oh -Fi-Oh
you have a bit of rudness in your messages i suggest you calm down asap
no one here owes you anything
the 1.20 firmware was entirely on every ones risk
1.15 was great
so calm down again and don't threat anyone
understand?
after only 5 messages your shouting as if you are a god
Ru-Fi-Oh  has been kind enough to update us so a little and in your case alot of respect should be held
on your part

Well ok my router turned stupid again this afternoon.  I did move a couple of large files through it this morning before I went to bed and when I got up it was not working requiring a reboot.  Why do large file tranfers through the wan do this?  I can move the same large files across my lan w/o problem but move them through the wan and you got problems.

[Reinvented]

I have been keeping in contact with Ru-Fi-Oh, with my findings and testing.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you use Wireless?  And out of that, how many of you use Wireless N?  Or a mixed mode?  Not on the 5 GHz band at all, only 2.4.

I've seemed to gain a lot of stability for my router after a few days, by switching only to G/B mode, with WPA/WPA2, and TKIP and AES cipher types.

Hasn't required any reboot at all yet, but I am waiting for it.  Try it out, and see if it improves anything.

[Puffnstuff]

I run with the radio turned off so that won't help me.  Now I see a relationship between large file transfers through the wan and the loss of functionality.

[Routers]

Well I run my wireless at 2.4GHZ, N and G mode only, 20/40mhz, (WPA and WPA2), AES only.

Clients connected to the router in G mode doesn't seem to drop connection when doing Lan to Lan transfers of large files. Clients connected to the router in N mode drops connection with transferring large files via Lan to LAN.

Clients connected to the router in G or N mode don't seem to drop when surfing the web and downloading/uploading at full speed. My main desktop used to be connected to the router in N mode so for the most part, it was pretty reliable. I was getting full speed from my fios 20/5 connection. However, Lan to LAN transfers in N mode are not reliable at all.

The only problem now is the uptime of the router due to the 1.20 firmware. I had the router die on me about 4 days ago and i'm soon approaching the 4th day again. We will see if it locks up again.

You obviously were not connecting to UPnP devices cause 1.15 was far from great.

Call it rudeness, bashing, or what you will.  I call it disgust in that fact that firmware release after firmware release this router is not functioning as advertised, speed, connections, uptime, and lack of proper testing prior to release etc..

For the most part those from Dlink are trying to help, but it's just too little too late. I am truly upset at the fact that I can no longer in good conscience recommend or purchase future Dlink products with this level of quality assurance.

"The 1.20 was entirely our risk", whatever, everyone here installed it in hopes to fix this router.  Everyone's risk was installing Firmware past the original to add new features for Sharepoint. That's where the risk was, and some had no choice as their purchased model came with defective Firmware versions.

4 defective Firmware versions is a lot to swallow and not be upset.  Especially when as a consumer you once had peace of mine in the products developed by a company to be at or above the competition.

As far as adding to the solution I have added my personal findings, that turning off Jumbo frames did increase my routers uptime but not by much as it still fails like clockwork after or during large files transfers either WAN or LAN.

I've said my peace, and I'm not in the least bit apologetic for my posts or the tone within, it's honestly how I feel about this fiasco that has tarnished the once OUTSTANDING DGL line.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you use Wireless?  And out of that, how many of you use Wireless N?  Or a mixed mode?  Not on the 5 GHz band at all, only 2.4.

I have wireless disabled on my DGL.  I've got a secondary router on the other side of MOCA serving wireless to my living room and deck with better coverage.  Only thing on wireless for me is my laptop or cell phone when it goes UMS.

I haven't had issues with moving large files locking up my router yet.  I was able to transfer 9GB of files from one LAN computer to another with no issues.  I did have my router lockup for the first time while using the 1.20, that was when I was streaming a movie via WMV from my computer to my xbox360.

Another thing I've noticed is the DGL can't make heads or tails of the NTP server DNS name if you specify an "internal" DNS server.  The router itself doesn't seem to acknowledge its own private networks.

[Routers]

Has anyone gotten past 4 days uptime with firmware 1.20?

[anon]

5 days 20hrs and then it hit the wall. 5GHz, WPA2/AES, N Only

@4 days 7hrs now but we really have been light on network use on this run compared to last.

Hey dinlk, how about next DGL-? your software and hardware people actually talk to eachother when making f/w.

Look how many problems people are STUCK with because of "Note: This firmware does not allow downgrading."

Now we have no choice. Always looking to the next f/w thinking "I hope they fixed it". To then find you have a whole new host of problems.

R.I.P. f/w1.02. Yeah it had it's problem too, but it was packed with the least amount of features/problems...

what kind of problems did 1.02 have?
I have had my 4500 for a months now and I have not "upgraded" due to everything I have read. So far I have had no issue and it's been on 24/7 except for 2 nights(12hrs total)

Minor in comparison to all those that have come after. I think some post are still up on were some had some issues. But once f/w 1.12 came out... well you can see it for yourself.

I wish I didn't upgrade from 1.02 and so does my PS3 and PS2.

Minor issues, nothing that would limit it's purposed function.

Good for you for not upgrading, consider yourself one lucky customer.

Myself when I got my DGL4500 from newegg it was already at 1.12, no it was not open box, and was sealed. Newegg claims it was 100% new and by the looks of it, packaging etc it looked it. Considering that the 1.12 update came out almost a year ago and my router is now only 1 month old I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

[Kneo]

My DGL-4500 with FW 1.20 is requiring a reboot every night. It seems to happen at the same time ever since I upgraded. Once I reboot the router everything is fine.

[autentico]

I have the same problem and also my cousin
