Dear Admins,

Please have your engineer concentrate on the wireless issue please. In my point of view, the share port is not the essential concern in this circumstances. Dir-655 is to serve as an wireless router, and that is the most concern to consumer when they buying this product.

Right now, I willing to yell at any of you "engineer who had created this product". I am sitting two feet away from the router and my wireless still hang or drop the connection. I had tried with 4 laptops. Please do not post any irrelevant information and trying to guide me to a resolution of dns disable or etc. I had tried every solution to solve the issues with this router that users had tried. I am sorry if anyone had felt offended by my feeling.

Sincerely,

outFire

Outfire,

it probably doesn't help you much, but I just bought a 655 with 1.21 firmware and the wireless has been rock solid for me. My devices work everwhere in the house.
I've enabled the 'turn radio off' feature to turn off the RF between midnight and 6 am.
I don't know if that resets it daily and that is why it works, but it works - and very well!

----------------
I attended a wireshark university session earlier this year where Laura Chappelle demonstrated some wireless captures using a special nic and software - she showed us lots of different interference patterns and if I remember she said uniden phone's were the worst offending phone devices she'd found - to the extend that she was confident she could disable a wireless user by taping the handset under the desk.

So rather than talk about the DIR-655, I'd have to ask if you have an alternate router that works (from the same location) If so, then at least you have that baseline. Beyond that, maybe you got a bad router - I'm sure it happens - wireless radio goes bad or something.

Look here on how I have solved the riddle.
