What was the distance and number of walls (or floors) between the router and PC? Thanks, Joe

P.S. and are you using a 20MHz or 40MHz channel?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20005779 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 08:35:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20004424 aleic : btw. the 5ghz band does work as advertised but not as fast as I thought it was going to be.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20004424 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 22:32:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20004417 aleic : well I received the replacement and it works as advertised]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20004417 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 22:29:23 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20004026 anon : If you go to »support.dlink.com/ and select products (up top) and then select DIR-855 under Routers you will see the info as quoted above.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20004026 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 21:10:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20003064 anon : Can you post the URL from the d-link website that has this recall info?

The serial numbers of these units range from F30A17C000019 to F30A17C000118. If you happened to purchase one of these units, and are experiencing a weak or less-than-optimal wireless signal, you should call our corporate office (800-326-1688) where our dedicated team of support personnel will help you execute the warranty for the product.

Hope it helps .. lucky me being in the range.... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19980320 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:17:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19977779 anon : I have been waiting for someone to post a success story about this router, but I haven't found one yet. Like many of you, I have been waiting for the DIR-855 for a long time. With the issues that have been reported I have yet to pull the trigger. If I order one, will it work? Anybody have one that functions properly?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19977779 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:44:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19960264 celly : I am SO glad I am never an early adopter. :D

I just called in and they requested that I sent them my unit through their RMA process and they would immediately send out a brand new A stock unit. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19954029 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 20:34:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19953490 anon : ok this just gets laughable. In between the time I spoke to CS, I get a call back from Tech support telling me they are setting up an exchange. When I informed him that CS advised a full on recall was in effect he said "no thats not true, a new hardware revision is already being released and that is what you will get"

I just dont know who to believe anymore]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19953490 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 19:06:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19952758 anon : Well I just got the call from D-link csm and have been informed that the DIR-855 is under official recall. This unit has been confirmed to have a design flaw and a fix is being worked on with no specific time frame. You will be asked to submit your receipt and a call tag issued to start a refund process.

All I can say is WHAT A BUMMER. I had such high hopes for this router.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19952758 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 16:57:30 EDT
