1.3x firmwares don’t working properly at all!
« on: July 17, 2009, 12:42:45 AM »

I switched from 1.21 to 1.31 firmware a week ago on since then it was nightmare all way down.
1) First router fails miserably after 2-3 days of operating, website stop to be loaded and the GUI menu of the router isn’t reachable too. The only cure is to get home and reload it by getting the power cable unconnected.
2) Port forwarding settings doesn't work. You can try to change the as many as you want, but as soon as router is reloaded to activate them all fields are blank!
The 1.32 betas didn’t changes a thing. With 1.21 I didn’t have to reload it once for several month and everything worked fine. I’m running several 24/7 game servers and now server isn’t reachable form the internet!

WE DEMAND A CHOICE TO ROLL BACK TO 1.21 FIRMWARE!!!!

I already flashed that, and nothing has changed. I don't need a fix, I need a rollback. As I sad, I'm running a server and clients aren't able to connect to it. D-Link can fix their firmwares as long as they want, but I need 100% internetworking firmware now, and that firmware is 1.21.

YES. I have been going crazy trying to figure this out. I thought it was something I did, and coincidentally I got Vonage the same day I upgraded firmware from 1.2x to 1.32NA (never considered that DLINK would hose me like this). So I've been getting furious with Vonage people and their little router. I almost even cancelled the service! Then I just put the vonage router in one of the ports on my cable modem and my DLINK on another port. This works like a champ -- well, aside from the fact that my DLINK drops off the face of the internet every 6-8 hours...

The strange thing is that if I pull the plug on the DIR-655 before going to work at 11am or so, it seems to work fine all day long. I am constantly logged in and using my server from work (checking IMAP mail, ssh, etc.). But no doubt I will loose connection sometime during the night. I set up an account with http://www.pingdom.com to monitor my server and at least know when I'm hosed.

The other thing I did is write a script on my server that tries every 15 minutes to ping various IPs (not even trying DNS as if an IP can't resolve, DNS won't either).

I've posted the live log here: http://75.147.180.77/ping.log

And the bash script I used can be found as "Ping Test" here: http://daevid.com/content/examples/snippets.php

WTF. How can they break this so horribly? It's a router -- it's like what DLINK does! I could care less about 90% of the crap in the web interface aside from port forwarding. Before this upgrade, this thing ran solid and I NEVER had to reboot it even one time for months.

I found a solution to the problem -- setup a timer to reboot the router ever few hours.  ;D

"Plus I got a router that is buggy and needs to be reset at least once a day.. I was looking for a cheap timer to shut down the router an hour or so each night for a long reboot. I'm thinking of jumping in for a couple."
