A1 hardware version.  Flashed with 1.21 B3 almost eight days ago and redid all my setting by hand after loading factory defaults.  Thus far I haven't seen so much as a hiccup whereas I had to reboot the router with 1.21NA every other day in order to keep from seizing up. 

That's not to say there aren't people with valid issues.  I'm just happy I don't have to get a new router or play the RMA game.

As for what's on my network, I have a Media PC, 3 Desktops, 1 Server, 1 laptop, one multifunction printer and an iTouch.

Stats aside, how is the overall performance over wireless?

[NiMhBatt]

As my wife's laptop and my iTouch are the only ones that access the wireless on my router I don't think I put too much load on it.  My wife is a virtual worker and plays one or two MMOs casually.  Since she hasn't complained about her web connection behaving oddly or freezing up in over a week I have no reason to believe that the performance is anything less than adequate.

[Kalmicon]

Someone on the forum had mentioned that disabling the logs had given them more up time before a reboot. Since this does not effect any performance features I went ahead and gave it a try.

Even with the new beta FW our A1 router was rebooting about once every three days and now that I have disabled just the informational view levels in the log options we have achieved a up time of just under six days at this point. I still have the critical and warning view level log options checked and my log is still empty since the change.

Typical Lan download speed is averaging 7mg down.
Wireless side is averaging 1.7mg down.

So to answer your question: Significant slowdown on the wireless side.
[Running either G or N to wireless clients].

No other problems to report.

Ummm, they can't remotely flash your router...You are wrong. 

If you don't know sh!t (based on the message posted here, I concluded that) then SHUT UP! I'm a firmware engineer working on a storage router using Linux, and I know on a personal experience during development I always have a backdoor to gain access to the system with admin priviledge so when something screwed up I can get back to the system. The customer may not aware of that and even the support engineer sometime does not know. Do you think Dlink does not have a back door to get to their system especially that system connected to the internet. I sent Dlink support my config while they debugging their system (I was one of the few picked to test their beta FW before released). So, if you think I'm wrong you need to go back to school again.

That is the dumbest thing I heard this week.. Thanks.. Now if I could only figure out how to bottle common sense...

Another village idiot and think they know everything

SSNui,

There is no "master password". The only way we could access your router is if you gave us permission to access management via the WAN and we would need your password.

D-Link also has a policy against doing this as this is the result.
If you feel like the security of your router has been compromised I suggest that you press the reset button on the back of the unit and reconfigure it.



 That being said, 2please refrain from verbally assaulting other forum users.

Also, circumventing profanity filters by using special characters is grounds for being banned. Please do not do it again.

That is such double standards Lycan. People have been banned for a lot less. You guys can't even be consistent when to ban and when not to.

You guys shouldn't even be called mods, perhaps noobs would be more suitable. As a direct result of your so called "moderation", two websites have gone up against your lack of customer service. If you had of taken a different tact with customers, I don't think they would exist.

Keep it up, we will see if more website pop up.

[Lycan]

DIR-855,
1) WE are the mods and decide when and when not to ban someone. Not you.
2) He WAS banned.
3) If you are unhappy with the way that this forum is run, please feel free to PM any of the mods and state your complaint there.

-Lycan.

Router has been working much better since first running the update... only thing I have noticed is over time my  wan download speeds will decrease... at its worse I was getting 1.5 down and 11 up...... plugged directly into the modem got my standard 48 down and 11 up. Need a reset at that point.

But I do feel progress is being made, please tell me another beta is in the pipeline soon

[Ru-Fi-Oh]

yes there are some details we need to hammer out and we are definitely getting closer to a fix. Thanks to all that have been cooperating and providing your feedback whether it be good or bad.

BTW Craiji ,

What hardware version is your router?

[Lycannot]

This is just utterly ridiculous.

How much testing was put into releasing the entire family of firmware? I mean this is not just affecting the DGL4500 but the 825 and the 855. From what I have experienced, not all the issues are fixed on the 4500 even with this band aid fix that you have offered up so late into the game. I am still getting wireless disconnects at an alarming rate.

How can you guys mess this up so badly, you owe us some explanation to us as paying customers.

[philwoz98]

The best thing people can do is leave negetive feedback  telling people to stay away from this unprofessional mess, on websites that offer this router, ex newegg etc.
