Let us know what you find after updating to v1.11NA...I was told this ISP speed issue was seen they think by D-Link and should have been resolved.

Ran some tests over lunch:  Same ABE issue with firmware 1.10.  Additionally password problem persisted even when using "5500"

Haven't tested the wifi yet, but here are screenshots of speeds.

With Streamboost disabled:


With Streamboost enabled, and speeds manually set to 120/20 since ABE is not working:



No other devices on the network, so i am not sure if this is intended behavior.  Why am i not being allocated all of my bandwidth with SB enabled and no other traffic?

[FurryNutz]

What FW version is currently loaded?

[x2007]

1.11B03 from the support site

Speeds go back to normal if I manually enter 140/40 (http://www.speedtest.net/result/3306816169.png), just wondering which is the better setting for speedboost to work most efficiently

This is pure speculation on my part but I'm going to say that it's functioning as expected.  If ABE were working for you I bet it would set it a little higher.  For example on my 25 meg connection ABE set it at something like 28.4 and when I run speedtest my download is 25.  You might need to try slight increments until you are back at your expected Down/Up speeds.

140/40 is probably not needed.  Try reducing that until you go back below your expected speed test results.

I don't know if this is a calculation issue with the router itself thinking 28.4mb =25mb or if streamboost purposely over estimates bandwidth.  I do know that ABE sets Down/Up to a higher number than actual ISP speeds for my connection.

Is the router completing it's own speed test run on v1.11NA?
If so, what are thee reported results?

[FurryNutz]

I currently use this 15 char. as a sample test PW on my routers:
!@#$%^&*()!@#$%

Thanks- I'll try a different password- my current password does have a period at the end which may be the issue

No dice with ABE working properly on the latest firmware either.

I also noticed the p/w issue can be replicated (at least for me) by simply saving changes on the Maintenance>Admin page without entering your current password.  maybe this is intentional for that page, but shouldn't be for others.

ALSO, I was not able to get Wake On LAN working as I had configured with the DIR-655.  I did however find a workaround leveraging my NAS that is always accessible.  For those in need, that have an always-connected device that can run a webserver, check out the PHP script at the end of this page- works great with a bookmark:  http://www.wolcenter.com/faq.php 

Looking forward to the next firmware update to hopefully get some of these items ironed out

I've asked D-Link to look into this.

I'll check this out on mine this evening. So if you've already input a PW an then later come back to the Admin Page and do nothing accept Save Settings, this action seems to blow away the already inputted PW?

WOL may not be supported on this router. This is a gaming router and there was some features that were stripped out I guess during design of the router. Only a few things were added back in. SO if WOL isn't working, it maybe due to that they didn't add it in. I'll have MotherFo check on this with you as he's our resident WOL expert. WOL is a corner niche and isn't widely used by the avg home user so it maybe one reason why.

[x2007]

thanks for the follow-up. 

yes- saving that page (with or without changes) clears the password unless you enter one into the box.  At this point im not sure if its just this page, or if others have similar effect

[FurryNutz]

Ok, will have a look when I get home. 

[FurryNutz]

FYI, I can reproduce the Admin PW issue.

I have forwarded this on to D-Link for review and have added this and the over 100/10 speed issue here:

Please be patient while everything is reviewed.

Thank you.

Did you take a look at my guide? http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=37018.0

It's for the 4500, but some steps still apply.

[FurryNutz]

You saying that you are going to get a 5500 sir? LOL

Haha, not unless it is gifted to me, or D-Link blows us all out of the water with the next firmware update

I really miss the lovely GUI of the DGL-4300/4500. It really was one of the best.
