I need a downgrade. I was running 1.11 ever since it came out. Then 2 weeks ago I upgraded to 1.32NA, and my router has already crashed twice since then, dropping the internet connection and also closing port 80, so that a hard reboot was my only option. It NEVER crashed when it was on 1.11. This used to be a really awesome router and I loved it. I feel like such a tool for upgrading. Lesson learned.
All you hackers and programmers out there, if you're looking to test a downgrade method but are afraid to test it on your own router, I will test it on mine. I don't care if I brick my router, because as far as I'm concerned, with weekly crashes it's already a brick, and I'll happily run out and buy a Linksys. I'll be doing exactly that anyway if I can't get my router stable very soon. I downgraded to 1.31 today, so give me a bit of time to see if that's any better, but from what I've been reading all over the net, I don't have high hopes. I have the A1 version from when the DIR-655 first came out (green LEDs).
I'm a sys admin and programmer, so I know perfectly well that it's difficult to write code that has no bugs in it. But it's definitely 100% impossible to write decent code without a QA process, and it's painfully obvious that satisfactory QA just did not happen with the 1.3x firmware.
