Hi this is my first post here. I have a dir-655 and the following problem. When i try to watch a youtube HD video or a review at gametrailers.com in HD the streaming is very slow and the video stops multiple times for buffering. This is happening with the n only mode and the mixed n,g mode. When i set the router to g only the videos are playing smooth.  This happens on a PC(with linksys WUSB600N dongle) and a macbook pro (2008). I have tried everything. And by everything i mean:
a) Flashed the router to 1.32NA and to the latest beta.(it was 1.21EU before)
b) Did a hard reset and a Restore to Factory settings
c) Change the wireless channel
d) Changed the cipher mode
e)Turned off the firewall
f)Turned off wireless security completely
g)Disable DNS relay
h)Disable multicast
i) Disable Qos, WISH and Wi-Fi protected setup,Short GI, WLAN partition etc
Finally i changed the PC dongle to a D-link one (DWA-140). The performance on the PC seems a little better but the macbook pro behaves the same. The strange thing is that i have not this problem with newsgroups,torrents and pretty much everything else. Just on streaming video from youtube and other sites.

Please can someone help me with this is very frustrating and i want my router to operate in n mode not just g.
Thanks and any help greatly appreciated.

Ugh You just flashed your chances away I'm afraid. 1.21 was the last decent firmware before they got bugs in their code that they can't find.

Have you tried resetting to factory defaults?

N only and N/G modes have the problem, G only doesn't, it sounds to me like you have a cipher type/encryption mismatch going on.  Check the sticky at the top of the forum.

The settings you need to look at are WPA / WPA2 , AES/TKIP/Both , but I can't recall what you are going to need to set to, and frankly it may vary.  Also, set your 20/40 to both/auto whatever it is.

good luck and please post back your results
