I think your DNS issues are caused by something else than the router (broken device?). If there is still something as the DNS relay bug, turning the feature off should solve it. Simply because when turning it off the router does not interfere anymore with DNS lookups. Not in any way.

Could you post some data supporting your claim?

H/W A3 F/W 1.32NA. Some pages I load takes a while too load at times or doesnt load at all. Maybe its not DNS related I have no idea, but it needs to be fixed. Sometimes even I load a page and it doesnt show anything. I put in a log file a few weeks ago I dont know if it will help, but maybe you can tell me whats wrong. Its from a previous post.

Your log contains no info on 'blocked' http pages. So no help from the log.
How's your firewall setting on the client PC?

[illusion121]

for firewall i use AVG 8.5 full version which includes resident shield. I've had this protection on for a number of years though and the problem only occured when upgrading to 1.32na. I ran out of ideas on what could be wrong.

I'm only a potential buyer of this router, but I'm already taken aback by many many complaints over D-link firmware issues. It sounds like this company puts out new things without thoroughly testing them. That's a great way to sink a company's reputation and turn off customers. I am not goinmg to buy one till the mess clears up.

Well, my experience is quite good with the product. You're only seeing a tiny piece of hundreds of thousands sold devices.If you check other brands' help-forums you will see that they also have issues with hardware and firmware/confuguration issues. OK, so some do not get the right attention from the official customer service departments. Show me a brand where that does not happen.

But that's only my 50 cents. Just saying these forums represent complaints, nobody bothers to write a raving review on a board like this.

Anybody have any news on when we can be expecting a final firmware update to finalized n spec?

It could be a possibility that there will not be a special new firmware for the N specs. The already present draft V2 for these models/hardware was made final  without any changes (as far as I've read the final specs). The additional N specs (600 mbps) do not apply to this hardware. So I do not think there will be any noticeable changes in the firmware.

[illusion121]

Edd do you know if D-link are going to be discontinuing the draft-n routers soon as it was finalized in sept? I havent read ne news for any new products with the final spec which i find surprising since its now December.

Most of the time new hardware will be release in January.

[Maconvert]

There seems to be some hint that maybe using the config file is not a good idea.  Maybe these problems are not related to the lower-level network processing of the router but simply a bad mapping of an older config file into the new firmware (which would still be a bug).  Just pure speculation.

That's a good point.
I used to have a WRT54G with DD-WRT firmware (sigh), but it was too slow (wireless B/G). Anyway, one of the things they always said in the DD-WRT forum was to NOT trust your old config files. You had to re-enter everything manually again after each update...end of story. Possibly this is what's plaguing many of you. I've still got 1.21, so I'm waiting before updating.

Cheers!

I really don't know. But I think theres a chance they are working on full N spec routers. Looking at the time the DIR655 has been on the market is should be close to EOL

With 1.21 you're probably one of the lucky few that had no issues...

I have stuck with 1.21 for several months due to the complaints about 1.3x.  And no ability to go backward if it is not stable (for me).  I think I have A2 hardware.

1.21 has been very stable for me, but I do not use sharepoint.  I'm not sure what 1.3x would improve for me, but at this point I am in the "don't fix it, if it isn't broken" mode.

Normally, I would be running the latest firmware.

@fd20092009 - The DIR-655 has been the best router I have ever owned.  In general, the majority of people are happy with it (check Amazon and Newegg ratings).  I have just stuck with firmware v1.21.  I think there are several people who have upgraded to 1.3x w/o issue.  The only thing holding me back is the inability to go backwards.
