If you mean Advanced DNS, yes, I've turned that off.

I have the port fixed (high number >30000) and port forwarded it. Works ok on my current stable linksys wrt150n.

Had i already implemented same way on the DIR-655. But the reboots took too all my attention to get that under control.

[ozzed3]

The port isn't the issue. It works fine when it works. It's just that after x ammount of hours the router goes into brick-mode until manually restarted and I'm suspecting now it might have to do with the firewall setting. 4 hours up and running now on port and address restricted setting. About to go to bed so let's see if it can keep itself alive till tomorrow.

1.32 Beta 9 (in my case) has a kind of watchdog that reboots automagically when the device gets into trouble. It is still not all right in my book but beats having to unplug the device yourself. Which version are you running?

Edit: hahaha my previous remark cost me 3 karma points: now that's what I mean!

Is that automatic reboot something that's in there for testing, or is that going to be a "feature"?

[ozzed3]

How does this Karma thing work anyway? I can't seem to find any applaud or smite button anywhere.

On topic, the router has been up and running (and running torrents) for 13 hours now.. Too soon to say but it sure SEEMS like the endpoint independent filtering is the issue.

I'm running the 1.30EU B08 version (The Beta08 being the version they decided on as good enough to release to the public).
So where would I look for this auto reboot thing if there even is one?

And knowing D-link it would probably be a feature.. That way they can get rid of anyone saying that their router has random reboots.. "It's not a bug.. It's D-link innovation"... Sign..

[partach1]

auto reboot: it's one of the hidden extra bonus features in 1.32NAb09 I think
if you use the EU version don't think it is wise to cross over. Once you go NA you never go back!

[ozzed3]

I wouldn't want to put NA firmware on it anyway. I hear even American users use EU software because it is more stable and such. And the EU version still allows the USB port to be used to connet a 3G moden and such.

Still up and running.

[ozzed3]

Just to confirm: My router has been running OK for days now so it was the firewall setting. DO NOT use "Endpoint independent" setting if you are using torrents. Even though this "Platinum" router is being advertised as "Ideal for torrent users" (At least here in Sweden), it just won't cut it with the "endpoint independent" setting.
I'm truly disappointed.

*SIGH*... Seems I was jumping to conclusions.. My router died AGAIN last night.

If there is a single person out there who is able to run torrents 24/7 on this "router" please let me know.. Also it would be greatly appreciated if you let me know connection/firewall setting on the router and number of connection and anything else relevant like number of connections on the client and such. Thank you.

I know you won't believe me, but I have torrents running 24/7. And no reboots.
Utorrent 2.1
Bandwith:
max total no. of connections - 450
max no of connected peers - 100
No of upload slots per torrent - 6

[ozzed3]

I will try these settings and let you know how it goes. I'm using Microtorrent on windows 7.

[ozzed3]

Up and running for 2 days and 13 hours now. So it seems the settings work ok.. But what is it that fails? On other routers I've been able to have my original (100K+ simultaneous connections) settings and the router won't hang. Is there anything I can do to make the 655 discard of the connections it can't handle so that at least it won't die? Thanks.

My router too hangs up to where i have no connectivity. and the wireless is even more sporadic. but the general consensus here seems to be it is a firmware issue that dlink is aware of. it is a shame you cant go back to previous versions of firmware, but what can you do. i really liked this router when i bought it a year ago. so i hope they release a new version of the firmware that is out of beta soon. i don't really care about the 3g usb connectivity. i might check out this 1.32na beta 09 firmware.... but im hesitant. like ozzed3 i have yer to pinpoint what exactly causes it to bomb out. but i don't use ANY torrents. i do however run a personal ftp, that is lightly used (5 times a month maybe)

[ozzed3]

Since it works when I reduce the maximum number of simultaneous connections to ridiculous levels I think it is simply a matter of the router being unable to be.. A router.. All other routers I have tried could have many more connections and not die on me. I don't know what it is they did to make it work. but it is obvious that D-link is losing ground to the competition.. What good is 250Mb of throughput when you can't use it?
