So I upgraded to 1.21NA and about every week or two I have to reboot my router. I also notice that after a certain point, I am unable to access my router via my browser anymore. The page just doesn't load. At the same time, downloads start going very slow and web pages fail to load. The router just completely choaks. Once I unplug the router and replug it back in, it seems to run normally again until I have to unplug it again.

What's the deal with this firmware? It's pissing me off. Why can't D-Link stop causing regressions with their firmware releases? Do they not have competent programmers? Ever heard of unit tests guys? Has anyone been able to resolve these stability problems?

I had those issues as well and some others.  The 1.20 isn't as bad as the 1.21 but it's really not much better either.

Well with d-link it pays to read about their fw releases before you actually try it.  Unfortunately with their 1.2x fw you cannot roll back so you're stuck with the problems until they find a resolution if ever.  I had 1.21 on my a1 and the longest it stayed up was 10 days and it only happened once right after I rceived my a2 replacement.  Once it locked up I put it back in the box and started using my a2 with 1.16b3 which seems to work fine on the hard wired side.  I will never flash again without first seeing what issues others are having first.  In the case of 1.2x I suppose that any update should be an improvement.

My A2 (which was a replacement) came with the 1.21NA so I didn't have much of a choice in the matter.
