Phuck Yeah!!! My ROUTER DIED THIS MORNING AGAIN!!!! So.. I suppose even with snail settings for torrents it will NOT work..

Question.. I'm not 100% sure where the proof of purchase for this router is (I bought it over a year ago) but do you really need one? The router has 11 years of warranty and I doubt they made any 655's in 1998.

11 years of warranty?  You may want to double check that, I'm pretty sure that they all had 1 year of warranty service.

Mine also has 11 years. It was a promo, you know 802.11 N, 11 years of warranty. LOL

[ozzed3]

It says "11 Year warranty" on the box. I live in Sweden (Europe) and at least that is what they give here. To be honest I wouldn't have payed $120 for a router if it didn't have that many years of warranty.. I was thinking "Wow.. These here guys are really sure about the lifetime of their products!"... Boy was I wrong... HAHA

Update.. It seems that as long as I limit the upload speed to be below the max I can get, the router doesn't die. Does this even make sense?

Makes very good sense since your upload bandwidth is easily congested with BT. The number of requests you get is much larger than the actual connections that are made. It's a kind of DDoS 

[ozzed3]

What confuses me is that with my old $25 Belkin router I could set the upload speed to 0 (For those of you that didn't know, this makes upload rate limited only by your ISP upload bandwidth) And I could have the number of connections set to millions, and the device still didn't freeze up.. What might have been the reason for that?

[ozzed3]

Something that hit me is that it might have to do with DDoS protection.. if for some reason it is turned off, but just because I for once in my life was gonna try and mess with the setting, I can't find it.. Anyone know where it is?

[EddieZ]

Advanced-Firewall settings.

No specific DDoS setting, but two related settings which can be a pain...

[ozzed3]

Never thought of that.. Hmm.. Seems odd that SPI or Anti-spoof-checking will make the router freeze but maybe I should try turning it off.

so how long has it been up for now? I gave up on the dir 655. Got the 825 and it's been up for 20 days. It seems to handle a household of torrenters a lot better than the 655. Just food for thought if you get tired of fiddling with a product you shouldn't have to touch...and dd-wrt and openwrt work on it now.

[ozzed3]

It's been running for about 4 days now.. Still seems to work as long as I cap the upload to just under what the connection is capable of. This behavior is still puzzling me though.. I have never seen anything like this with any other router.

I'm not too keen on the 825.. I'm sure it works well since it's DD-WRT capable and such, but it's too expensive for me and it has only got two antennas.. And in all honesty, after all the trouble with the 655 my next router will probably not be a D-link unless they REALLY make it worthwhile with the upcoming firmware releases.

Has it been running for 20 days using D-Link firmware?

[lotacus]

yea it's been using dlink's firmware. Just excited about ddwrt support now, but I don't wanna break something that isn't broken for me.
