Here's my update.. I will be meeting with the PM group of this product later today and I will present them with all the configs, docs and captures you guys sent. I understand how important it is to get everybody up and running normal again. i do not have an ETA on any fixes until I meet with them and even then it could take another week or so to come out with code. When we do get code it will still have to be tested first to make sure it doesn't brick your router then I will post it as Beta to get your feedback.

Thank you for keeping us up to date. Lack of communication is sometimes more frustrating then the actual problem. Here is hoping for a quick update.

Another issue I'm having is when I try logging in after I disabled CAPTCHA it says invalid password for as long as it wants.
I have this big issue in Firefox, i switch to Safari and it works fine.
I go on my Windows laptop and try it on GoogleChrome works fine.

Just So you know I updated to 1.20 and has been working flawlessly with no problems, my uptime has been constant now for 4 days with now issues , everytime i boot up my lan or wireless labtop my net is working fine and speeds are great. I am on comcast Motorola Surfboard 6120 Docsis 3 Modem.
I followed (d01100100) directions when updating firmware 30/30/30 reset method and worked flawlessly, I can also say i updated my buddie's Dgl 4500 same method and his is working flawlessly also. only minor thing we have an issue is with the PS3 when doing updates to the ps3 is kinda slow downloading not sure if this is a ps3 sever problem or a config, problem with the router, other then that it has been mint. Just thought i would give some info to updating method. that i read on here with the 30/30/30 reset.
Thanks (d01100100).

I would like to know exactly what changed from the beta release to the final release of this fw.  I don't recall any issues when I ran the beta version including the slowdown.  I never had to powercycle the router on the beta and it stayed up for well over 4 days without powering down.

Not at all Grove, Maybe because Im using a Docsis 3 modem, and paying extra for the faster service on comast, but this firmware update has been very stable for me , except the little problem with my Ps3 being slow but that's about it. Im getting 30 to 40megs down and 7 to 8 megs up. It is rare that alot of people are having issues with this firmware, but i followed the 30/30/30 method and worked fine, Possible because i upgraded from 1.02 to 1.20 maybe?.

I have the exact same problem, and mine seem to really hate (UPnP) connections.  As soon as a UpNp transfer is complete router goes into la la land and I have to rebo ???ot it.

Considering the fact that until 1.20, every single firmware before that, including 1.12, 1.15 and 1.16 caused LAN TX Packets dropped caused me issues, it might be hardware revision specific.  I had zero success with 1.12+ firmwares until 1.20, and I couldn't downgrade below that.

Originally my router came with 1.02, and when I did the upgrade from 1.02 to 1.12 is when my troubles started occurring.  I've had nothing but issues with the DGL 4500 since I upgraded, and finally ordered a new different router before decided to install 1.20 as a "last chance".

I disable lot of the extraneous cruft on the DGL-4500.  I don't allow it to serve up DNS.  I statically set the majority of device IP addresses in DHCP.  If I can hardcode it for my home network, I do that.  It might the customizations I'm doing to minimize the **** going to the router is enabling it to handle the load.  I don't allow it to do dyndns updates.  I had my dyndns account locked out because the damn router kept rebooting with 1.15.  The NTP update at boot was causing a config change... which caused the router to reboot, and sending a DDNS update request every 30 seconds.

I've seen posts on here of people asking the router to do everything for >10 devices.  That's a lot to ask for 1 device.  It's even worse if you have a high speed line like FIOS where processing that much traffic with the router's firewall is a lot of computing power.  I have 12 devices on my home network, 3 of which are routers themselves, and they spread the work.  It might be I'm just not stressing my DGL with multiple complex tasks allowing it to do the simple task, aka routing.

Hey I wasn't implying that I no longer had any problems.   I simply stated that there was no problem with my saved config file as I was able to reload it without any problem after I reflashed my router for like the 5th time with the 1.20 fw.  My router has been up a little over two days now and it's slowing down again and I run kiwi when I can to capture something that will hopefully help in finding a resolution to this problem.

It's horrible here!
I made a 30/30/30 reset (actually 40/40/40) before flashing again and after flashing and build up config from scratch:

port forwarding: warcraft 3 to 1 pc
mac filter: enabled (wasn't when I was on 1.20 the first time!)
wlan: wpa2 only, aes

Now when i use a download-manager and build up 10 connections at the same time it (sometimes) happens that i have to reboot it cause it blocks everything!

For testing i started a torrent (i didnt before on this router at any time!) and same things happen. existing connections (for example msn) arent disconnected and stay, but all NEW connections such as new website-requests are rejected by the router. Pretty annoying.
