It took a long time to get connected to router again (no new yet) just to see if I could flash firmware. I went for v1.11 and all looked goo so far. However, after setting up my basics and rebooting a few times, I go to enter the port imfo, entering each about 7 items and then saving them. I OK it to reboot, but it dumped all my settings leaving me to start all over. Yet it keeps getting picky to get back up and running.

I also saved very quickly the initial setting I made before port settings, but upon reloading them from file, it reboots only to dump all again. back to default.

Anybody have any idea why this is happening? I really liked this router so I am anctious to keep it working. I know I had it for 2 years now, so is it just time for a new one? What model is replacing it with 5+ ports and 1000MB LAN and better "N" and maybe G wide?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20336214 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 07:28:57 EDT Re: DIR-655 New Firmware Version 1.10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20166237 dirk_diggler :

My problem was the Protection Suite (Norton) that was offered by my ISP AT&T/Yahoo was wreaking havoc. The firewall would not allow me to share files, folders, nor printers. So, I just turned it off, and everything works fine. I made no changes on the DIR-655, except for the usual (SSID, encryption settings, login and password, and wireless settings).

If turning off the firewall does not work, just check on what band you are broadcasting (g and N, N only, etc.) and make sure your wireless printers can connect (ie. if they are on g, or b). Are your printers connected wirelessly (ie. have their own wireless card), or are they hardwired-and-shared to a computer which connected wirelessly to your LAN? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20166237 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 19:05:23 EDT Re: DIR-655 New Firmware Version 1.10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20163745 robphelan : Dirk, do you mind sharing what your solution was?

I just recently purchased this router (DIR655) from BlueshirtBuy (sorry). Installed it manually, no hitches, and within 10 minutes I had all of my computers (3 wired desktops, 3 wireless notebooks) surfing the web. However, I no longer have file/print sharing?! I plugged in my old router (WGR614), and file sharing was recovered as previously set up. Plugged in the DIR655 and... no file/print sharing!!!

Am I missing something anywhere in the setup? Do I need to manually change any configuration? Firmware is version 1.10, but I believe 1.11 is now out.

Anyone else encountered this problem? Any help and suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have not fooled with the QOS except to turn it off. I figured that if the OS has one and the router has one and they are both on, one or the other is going to butt heads with the other.

Anyone have some feedback on my ASSumption?
Bad assumption.

The D-Link 655/4300/4500 have the best QoS available on the consumer market. The Ubicom implementation is excellent.

One feature I would disable if you are having issues is WISH.

Yesterday I received a note from a friend who had the DIR-655 warning me not to upgrade to firmware 1.10 as he had just spent quite a while troubleshooting his Shaw connection with said firmware. The end result was that he had to downgrade to 1.04.

Today I woke up to see my internet was down as well. Although I didn't upgrade to 1.10, I had been running 1.05 for quite some time with no issues. Still, I pretty much figured I was having the same issue. Strange thing was, I still had to phone Shaw when I hooked a laptop up to the modem directly for it to work, as the laptop wouldn't even get an IP. They did a reset, and then the laptop worked.

I still had to downgrade to 1.04 to get the router to accept an IP from the modem however.

HAHAHAHA OMG!

I just spent like 5 hours today talking to Shaw and D-link technical support. I have been on 1.5 for awhile now with no problems, but this morning it would not establish an IP address.

Upgraded to 1.10.. several factory resets.. swapped out ethernet cables.. set everything to dynamic IP.. switched around all my network settings.

I eventually got a replacement from Memory Express. Hooked it up and it immediately worked. Flashed the firmware to 1.10 because you need to have the latest firmware, right?

Ohh man my whole day is gone because of Shaw. :mad:

So, do I just download firmware 1.04 off of D-link's site? I flash my firmware just like any other time?

It seems obvious to me that some saved settings from 1.05 are not compatible with 1.10, and will cause trouble for the router if you restore them.

No reboot nothing. Having a 100 Mbit down, and 10 Mbit up connection and running Web-Server, FTP-Server and Bittorrent File sharing from my LAN. Great having this QoS function as well, where you can set up each service / computer / port, individual, so those traffics don't effect my speed when I'm surfing on the internet, or watching VideoOnDemand.

The only thing I found is that with FW V 1.10, some settings require a reboot.

Long version (how I figured it out):

I just upgraded from 1.04 to 1.10 - I got the "too busy" error when I tried to restore the settings. Since I had not written the settings down (would be nice if their file was human readable, or XML...) I thought I was screwed - no amount of on/off, reset etc. etc. was working, always "too busy".

Drat!

Then I remembered some other hardware I'd had where it wouldn't let you restore the settings unless the admin password in the settings matched the current one. Since the upgrade resets the admin password I tried changing it to what I had before and then restore settings - still "too busy".

Drat and double drat!

So I went back to 1.04 and STILL had the can't restore problem "too busy" problem. Am I really going to have to reconfigure everything from scratch...

Doh!

But the idea of changing the admin password gave me an idea - I have my LAN the 10.0.0/8 based private subnet and the default after upgrade is 192.16/16 so I tried changing the subnet to 10.0.0/8 rebooting and uploaded my settings. Whadayouknow - it worked!

So then went forward to 1.10 - still wouldn't take my settings immediately after upgrade (as before) so changed the subnet again to 10.0.0/8 and was able to upload my settings. All is fine again and I am happy.

My theory is the update settings process looks at the new settings file and trying to ping or attach to the routers IP stored in that file. So if your subnet is not the default one then it wont work and the settings refuse to apply. Note I didn't have to change the admin password - only the subnet. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19340941 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 20:26:15 EDT Re: DIR-655 New Firmware Version 1.10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19339672 anon : reboot your router, the same thing happened to me, rebooting it fixed it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19339672 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 16:45:11 EDT Re: DIR-655 New Firmware Version 1.10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19338877 stlgera : @HolmanGT
I have never had less then 13 channels. Think also it has to do for which marked the unit is produced. In US only 11 channels are allowed. In EU you can use 13 channels.

I could not load my old settings after upgrade to 1.10.
The router always told me "Busy at the moment.. .please try late". Same problem I had since upgrade to 1.04.

I think it was in the 1.05 thread that someone posted that like you they had a European model with a US Version Firmware and they still maintained their 13 channels and I assumed power levels. The two of us came to the conclusion that the number of channels and the power level where hard coded into the units meant for the European market.

I too have switched between European and US versions and the channel count and I presume power levels followed the firmware (I have not done this with the 655). But as I said earlier the guy that stuck the US 1.05 in his British unit stayed at 13 channels.

stlgera, I would try the AU version but according to the Version text the only thing different between it and the 1.1 version is a fix for some specific modems, so for the sake of playing it safe I am not going to try it but I am sure someone else will come along and give it a go and we will see if the channel numbers follow the Version type.

Sure wish there was some straight forward method of measuring the power level out, but the only way I know to do it is by "try it and compare" the results. Which is a reasonable method but for posting to a forum it is pretty darn subjective and the answers would probably vary all over the place depending on a myriad of test condition variables.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19338231 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 11:02:01 EDT Re: DIR-655 New Firmware Version 1.10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19337712 stlgera : @HolmanGT
How to see whether the power output is less?
I have a European bought DIR-655. Always downloaded and used the US Versions of the firmware. Never got any problems with it.

Will try now to install Version 1.10 and see how it's working.
BTW: I have 13 channels to use in my DIR-655 to use.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19337712 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 06:44:06 EDT Re: DIR-655 New Firmware Version 1.10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19335985 HolmanGT : I took a look at the read.me and all that seems different is they have fixed a problem with some types of modems.

The 13 channels is because is it not for American consumption, The FCC here limits us to 11 channels.

Now I am wondering if the European configuration has more or less power output, never have heard any one say. My gut feeling is they have a lower power limit, but it wouldn't be the first time my gut instinct was wrong.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19335985 Sat, 27 Oct 2007 20:18:02 EDT Re: DIR-655 New Firmware Version 1.10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19335932 anon : Hi,

All i can see is it has 13 channels. Is us normally 11?

On how to set channel manually:
Go 'Setup' (on Top)
'Wireless Settings' ( on left)
'Manual Wireless Network Setup' (bottom)
Untick 'Enable Auto Channel Scan'
Select 'Wireless Channel'

I don't know what the problem could be with the laptop but a second cup of coffee will fix a lot of problems.

But I did want to comment on manually choosing a channel, I forget where it is but it it there. Every time I go to do something on the 655 there are so many choices it is like an Easter Egg hunt.

But if you leave it in auto and a particular channel gets TOO busy it will switch to a less used. Seems like a better way to go. Albeit I know 99% of the folks that come home with a router leave it on channel six (and unprotected). I have seen mine go to channel one all by it self.

Anywho just a thought.

PS - On the "Hot" situation, they all seem to run a little warmer than most of us would like. If you run it horizontally got to Radio Shack and get some of those rubber stick-on feet (black) that are square and about 3/8 of an inch tall. The give the unit a little more breathing room. In the vertical mode I don't think there is anything you can do to improve the ventilation.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19334448 Sat, 27 Oct 2007 14:02:12 EDT Re: DIR-655 New Firmware Version 1.10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19333744 onebyside : nice simple upgrade]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19333744 Sat, 27 Oct 2007 11:31:51 EDT Re: DIR-655 New Firmware Version 1.10 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19333519 joe_dude : Wow... 1.05 to 1.10.
