I can also not save any QOS settings after upgrading to 1.05. IE11 and Firefox tested.

If you have time, do a factory reset, use the set up wizard then immediately go in and configure QoS...let us know what happens. Please.

Since I'm going to remap my IP addresses for different gadgets so I tried to factory reset DIR-880L.   Able to restore some settings manually but for QOS, I was able to some  terminals but afterwards, I cant' add new one even there are many available slots yet.  So you're right to factory reset in order to save one.  But is this setting, one time only?

[FurryNutz]

You'll need to make you QoS settings soon after the factory reset is done and you've used the Setup Wizard.

I'll pass this along to D-Link and make sure they know about this. Were seeing the same behavior on the DIR-890L as well.

Thanks to all of your feedback.  I hope that this new UI would be more easy to set but with acceptable or same standard with the previous UI.  Unlike before that you can simply set it without connecting the device first to the router and only by defining its MAC address and static IP address.

I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.

I'll do that but I'll just reserve the compiled later.  It's very hard to get positive response when inquiring non-supported functions.  Thanks anyway.

Hi,

Region : Netherlands
Firmware : 1.05WW

I received the DIR-880L with firmware 1.01 and updated directly to 1.05 in this order : factory reset, update FW, factory reset and adjust settings.
Can confirm that Address reservation works well now, with host name change.

The router is blazing fast, even on 150 Mbps 2.4 Mhz adapters!!

I see two glitches (?):
- When I activate the Guest 2.4 Ghz NW, the speed on my normal 2.4 Ghz NW is half the speed as before; same on the Guest NW. Is this normal? I have never seen this on other routers.
- I could reserve an IP-address for my TP-Link Print Server TL-WPS510U immediately after the firmware upgrade and it is reserved. I do not see it however in the connected devices overview anymore. All the other reserved devices appear either in bue (active) or in grey (inactive). Any experience on this?

And a wish : Plse make the GUI logoff time adjustable in the GUI or create a logoff function. Now you just must be lucky to save in time.

Regards, Hugo

I upgraded to this 1.05WW version today, I noticed DL fixed the problem introduced in 1.04WW where you could no longer disable the UPNP media server feature and the USB connection is again showing on the home page.  I did not notice any other regressions in upgrading.
 
While I was interested in this version for the security fix, I noticed on the QoS page a new feature has been added where you can specify your ISP service speed caps.   But no matter what I type in here and tap save it does not save the settings.  It appears to be a work in progress.

Furry can you ask DL what's the plan with this feature going forward?  I find it interesting as I ended up not using the QoS client boxes as it was not working as expected at my speed levels (slowed everything down too much).

I'm on TWC in the USA, with 300Mpbs down/20Mpbs up service.

[FurryNutz]

What happens if you do a factory reset, walk thru the initial set up wizard, then go directly into QoS and set your ISP speeds?

[drshock]

Furry, initially I did not use the wizard.

I'm using the 880L as a wired gigE router, so both radios needed to be disabled.  Had to use manual setup to get this configured as when I first tried the wizard it wanted to do WiFi.   But just for grins I tried the factory reset, and again manually set it up as a wired router.  But the QoS settings are still not saving.

Perhaps a bug where D-Link did not anticipate a configuration where both radios are being disabled.

[FurryNutz]

If you can factory reset and walk thru the setup wizard if you can. Just go thru the motions then when you complete the wizard, immediately go in and try to set QoS settings and see. You can configure the radios after testing QoS.

[drshock]

I ran the wizard as suggested.  I also upgraded to the new 1.05WWB02 that just came out in the USA support site this week.  This new firmware version says it specifically addresses this problem.   But it's still not working for me.

[FurryNutz]

Ok. I'll have a look at this on mine. I need to bring it out and do some testing with it.

I have made D-Link aware of this issue.
