I have a A2 and a A3...

The A2 has the lockup problem on 1.32NA....

I will try disabling the DNS relay...

if that doesn't fix it, I'll reconfigure the A3 unit to see if it's any better than the A2...

(the A3 is just another wireless access point in the other side of my house...)

1.21 was rock solid... my wife works from home and I'm her IT support...

WHY DID I UPGRADE!!! ARGH!!!

Definetly not sticking with D-Link in the future. Was going to advice our company to buy D-Link, but after the problems I have been through, I decided to advice our company to stay away from D-Link instead.

make sure all of you post in the sticky at the top of the forum.

I just installed the new firmware also just a week ago have had 2 lockups in the last week... This is unacceptable because this is for our server machine here in the office.

Should have never upgraded...

[nothing_nothing]

Brutal!!!!

HW-A3
F/W-11.1 upgraded to 1.32NA

Tech support know very little at this point.

"Changing your wireless Name might help..." Huh? it did not help the random lockups.

Tech support also said.. "There is now way to disable the CAPTCHA at login.."
RTFM tech support. I found the switch myself, nm.

After speaking with a useless tech support person, i was told they were elevating my call by transferring me to a service rep. After 10 minutes on hold, i got disconnected.

I guess i'll call back and try again later today..
I'm having to reboot my router once a day since upgrading.

Welcome to everyones problems. Glad to join the group in which everyone is pissed cause theres no fixed yet. All i can say is to disable the DNS relay crap. Im actually thinking of buying a new dir-655 and returning my old dir-655. I still have the box. They should let people do that cause the new firmware just sucks.

Why buy a new Dir 655? There has to be something else (with functional firmware) that is close. I been looking @ TRENDnet TEW-633GR.

Looks like staying on 1.21 for now is a very good idea...

it is an AMAZING IDEA!!! if you ever upgrade the new firmware... look forward into buying a new product.. and MAKE SURE ITS NOT DLINK!

Work on your anger management.
Got a perfectly working 655 with 1.32. Perhaps you messed it up yourself?

This doesn't exactly match the subject line, but I sure know what DIR-655 lockup is!  I am on my third D-Link DIR-655 via the RMA process.  This one arrived the middle of July, 2009.  It worked fine until August 10th.  It locked up and I noticed the Status LED was on solid - not blinking as it is supposed to.  A power of and back on got it going.  It locked up again this morning - Aug 15, 2009 with the same indications.  I called D-Link to report the problem.  They were going to send me router #4, but thought better of it.  Now I have to call their super duper specialist on Monday to find out what they're going to do.  The router arrived with hardware version A4 and firmware version 1.21.  I did not change anything, just loaded my saved configuration and let it run.  This is supposed to be a great router.  I like the features but I am glad I have a Belkin router as a backup!

I know Dlink has it's issues with the last few firmware releases but to be on your 4th router, I'd start thinking about my config or environment that the router is in. I know you said you have your Belkin as a backup but there is a reason it's a backup, it's not as good or dosen't have the features that the Dir 655 has.
Would you entertain me with your config setup including your modem type and connection?

I wonder if some of these issues are from people flashing the firmware over wireless.

That could be, I also believe and many more expirenced people here and in the network field I'm sure could tell us that a lack of knowledge is the problem. The more complex you make a device (like the Dir 655) the more issues your going to have. Simple is good but when you have a complex config along with a complex router your going to have problems.
Thats why you see all the updates in firmware, Dlink is learning also.

While turning off DNS relay, also manually enter your DNS numbers individually into the router.  My computers connection would show really odd DNS entries and also slow down.  Assigning the DNS numbers in the router has fixed that problem.
