I say  that the new firmware should have a choice, for those people who dont want shareport and secure spot, you can disable it if you want to. well they already have the disable button for secure spot. For me i need shareport only cause i dont want to leave my computer on while i print... i prefer just hooking the printer to the router instead of waiting to turn on my computer and such.

You can not use usb port in router if you are not connected to router via shareport.

I could tolerate securspot if the default was OFF instead of enabled. It would be nice to have a firmware without it though. I've almost given up on ever having SharePort work on this router. If it did I would use it for my laser printer. The thing is they likely won't remove the code from the firmware they'll just hide the settings so they don't show up in the GUI like they do for a lot of the other options/settings.

I support to have firmware without SecureSpot as it's a feature that most consumers (at least in the country that I am from) do not use at all. Instead, it introduces instability.

How can you be so sure it's related?

And before others start ranting: this is a legitate question, asking for evidence to support an opinion like this.

It really would be nice to see what it is in Secure Spot that causes the problem. I have disabled this option a while back. Even though my router has been rock solid since doing so, I am not completely convinced 'this' and 'this alone' is causing the problem with restarts and drops.

My thoughts? Secure spot is absolute junk and needs to go. The "sharepoint" is a flawed concept. It would be much nicer if it worked like a regular NAS, without the need for additional software and with an unlimited number of simultaneous users, as has been done with other brands using near identical hardware to the 655. But D-link, like other companies, probably listened to the whining and moaning of MPAA, RIAA, IFPI, and other "intellectual property" guardians, and therefore implemented a crippled version of NAS.


That is my thoughts on this

I wish my BMW acted like a Porsche. Perhaps I should have gone to the Porsche dealer when I bought it.

Yeah, I should have bought the Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH, but it was released only 2 weeks later than my purchase. Then again, I have worked out every little problem I have with the DIR-655. Shareport you can forget about it, and SecureSpot can be disabled if you don't use it. Now, I'm happy with it. It's like getting married...  .

Luckily it seems I married the prettiest girl and as she ages, she still is...
In other words: no problems whatsoever...

Demonized... So.. Other companies managing to pull it off with the same hardware WITHOUT listening to copyright trolls, for about the same price, are just bad at making business then? Sometimes I think you are hired by D-link to promote their hardware at all costs...

Weird that complaining seems to be the desired M.O. here.
Am I promoting their stuff? No way. I'm just trying to share some of my professional knowledge and I have a device that works without problems. I know for a fact that 90% of the posters present are to be considered n00bs. Not judging them, not everybody has to have the same level of expertise. But when it comes to issue resolving and pointing at causes they suddenly pretend to be THE experts.

It's sad they have issues, but apparently it's the easiest to point at a product and forgetting about all the nuances.

Most of us here are not MODS and don't work for Dlink and with that being said some do have a little more experience then others. Good or bad we try to help or make suggestions to get them thinking how to solve an issue.
