DIR-655 New firmwares 1.21b04 and 1.21b05_nosecurespot in D-Link http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21152313 en Sat, 04 Jul 2009 21:18:16 EDT Sat, 04 Jul 2009 21:18:16 EDT Re: DIR-655 New firmwares 1.21b04 and 1.21b05_nosecurespot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21512427 anon : I just tried the SharePort Network USB Utility and it created a BSOD on three different systems (two PC were less than 1 month old so not much software installed) - 3 different OS Vista Business, XP Pro and Media Center XP. The only common software was Trend Micro Internet Security and I turned it off and still got BSOD after installing (at end of install actually). This is the second time they've got me by sticking a totally useless USB port in back of their router (still USB 1.1 at that). The first was a DI-624S (2 useless USB ports) which was an OK router but nothing connected to those USB ports could ever be seen on the LAN. You'd think I'd learn.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21512427 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 23:05:01 EDT Re: DIR-655 New firmwares 1.21b04 and 1.21b05_nosecurespot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21450233 ratts : Well, where to begin.......

first off, I haven't fully tweaked my router cause it appears I need a PHD in networking to even understand 75% of the options offered with this router (A3 rev. DIR-655). I have been reading up on some of the stuff thru the support section in router and didn't even realize what I bought. (I bought it originally because it is a Gig router)
Anyhow, I just did a update check thru router and it said there was a new firmware and decided to download and install this 1.21 firmware. I thought the last firmware was overwelming, now there is more options to boot. GOOD GRIEF!
I didn't even know that usb port on back was for connecting devices to it. I thought it was for hooking up a laptop or desktop pc to router thru usb. SWEET!!!! So, after reading up on this thread, I decided to download the shareport utility and start tweaking and whatnot. There are bugs with this firmware. Nothing major (at least no random disconnects like my last 624 rev. c router I had...Piece of you know what!) I activated the Guest account and saved the settings.....then I checked reboot later option. Went to another tab to see what was in there and to my suprise the router rebooted on it's own. Then, after logging back into router I lost connection (like my old router). But, it hasn't happened again yet so.....Oh well. There was another slight bug where one setting would not uncheck and save. It kept telling me I didn't change anything but I did, I tried to uncheck it again...samething. I cannot ucheck that option. (Add DHCP Reservation on/off) oh Yeah, forgot another one. My wife's 54mb wireless computer is capped at 24mb. Have to investigate this more closely. If it is capped, then this a major bug cause I didn't see any option to get it back to 54mb. Could have been capped before cause it never showed speed in status page. Hmmmmmm????

Overall, I was very pleased when I first got this router but now I am REALLY PLEASED. Great job Dlink!!!

ps...I did see in the support section that it states NOT to connect more than ONE USB Flash drive at once, even with a usb hub.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21450233 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:08:05 EDT Re: DIR-655 New firmwares 1.21b04 and 1.21b05_nosecurespot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21447690 abward : olisun,

Thanks for the reply.

1. What hardware version do you have?
2. Did you do a reset before upgrading?
3. Did you enter settings from scratch or migrate them?
4. Does port forwarding and QOS work ok?

Sorry for all the questions!

I usually do factory defaults (which reboots), then a second reboot, then a firmware update (which reboots), then a second reboot, then I apply the former settings file (which reboots), then a second reboot. If this works for a while, I'll save a new settings file.

But if after that I was having trouble, I would revert back to factory defaults (which reboots), then a second reboot, then configure by hand.

I added the second reboot after I noticed that my router was available at its old IP address after changing the IP address and doing the "Reboot Now." This taught me that the "Reboot Now" reboot is what we used to call a "warm boot" which might not refresh the router's RAM.

By removing power, we know that the RAM is cleared and if I'm still having trouble, I at least know how to reproduce the problem reliably.

I suppose this isnt that safe.

does the 1.21 let you go back to 1.11?
I think the mixed reviews have to do with:

1. Whether or not the user returned to factory default settings before applying the firmware

2. Whether or not the user configured the router by hand or by applying saved settings after applying the firmware

Can I put a usb soundcard and use the shareport feature?
Probably not, although how badly it fails will be mixed based on the robustness of the audio driver.

The way this SharePort appears to work, you might get a few moments of life out of it, but as soon as you overrun a buffer or lose connection, you're at the mercy of the hardware driver (which will probably lock up "BSOD" style).

Found this after reading your post.

Some users on the Unofficial magicJack Forum have asked for the ability to plug the unit directly into a router; is this a possible future addition?

DB: The magicJack was not designed to plug into the router. One of the main benefits of the magicJack is its portability. By being able to plug into the USB slot, our customers can take it anywhere in the world and use it with any broadband-enabled computer. If it were designed to work with a router, the magicJack would lose its portability. So no plans to add this functionality.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21418453 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 18:16:55 EDT Re: DIR-655 New firmwares 1.21b04 and 1.21b05_nosecurespot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21415755 anon : Can I put a usb soundcard and use the shareport feature?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21415755 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 10:24:39 EDT Re: DIR-655 New firmwares 1.21b04 and 1.21b05_nosecurespot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21397251 HolmanGT :

A MajicJack does not work like that, it needs a computer. You can't plug it into:
1. A router.
2. An ATA device.

You can only plug it into a computer running a compatible OS.
1. MAC with Intel capabilities (or whatever they call them.
2. Windows XP.
3. Windows Vista.
4. Windows XPe

There may be some other OSes that people have gotten it to work on but it has to be a computer capable of running the MagicJack software and have network capabilities.

The Port on a DIR-655 meets none of the above requirements.

If you would like something that looks like is about the same size and consumes about the same power as an ATA or Router pick up a thin client for the same price you paid for your router. They are like your router in the sense that they are stone quiet, have no moving parts, and will generally run your MagicJack much better than your "Active Computer System" which is fairly busy doing whatever it is that you are asking it to do plus a whole bunch of other stuff that it needs to do, defrag, updates, memory management, Screen savers, Virus Scans etc...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21397251 Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:55:20 EDT Re: DIR-655 New firmwares 1.21b04 and 1.21b05_nosecurespot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21377398 ButchyBoy5 : Oedipus,

I got the router on Wed 10/1/08.

- I setup everything and immediately updated to v1.21.

- I installed the USB utility on my Notebook.

- Speeds are great with internet and downloads I noticed immediate improvement.

- As far as the USB I added a Mybook 1TB to it and set it up It is a bit slow to connect at times but it comes up eventually.

- I DL from the HD a 1GB dvd rip to the Notebook which took about 20min to complete so needless to say it is very slow.

- Convenient nonetheless my only issue is that at times the connection will drop for no apparent reason it happened twice since I got it only way to get it back up was a full power cycle of the router and modem.

- So far I have it up with no glitches for 24 hours since my last power cycle.

- Next I will work on getting my Wii connected I do not foresee any problems but you never know lol.

- I did test the connection with my mothers Notebook running Vista Home and did not have any problems connecting the signal was great and even though it was on G the speed was great compared to my old DLINK G router.

I had wrote them a few emails relating to added features which would help them in marketing for the dir655 and one of those features was to enable that usb port for something other than the dreaded windows easy connect feature which I dont think anyone uses. I am sure many others have wrote dlink similar emails and I am happy that they are listening to us.

I have yet to try the firmware but damn excited in doing so. I suspect that usb port is only ver 1.1 though but would be nice to throw my HDD on there along with the printer.

My only grip is the utility. Be nice if they used SMB or some other solution other than the direction they are going with the utility. Then again, it's not meant to be a NAS device, so I'll be leaniant.

One other grip I had was the Wireless Connection information. It would show the MAC address, IP address of a connected device along with the SSID it's connected too. So if a computer is having signal issues it's a little difficult to figure out which computer the ip address belongs to, without going to some other menu, leaving the status page. Inconvenient to say the least. I requested them change the SSID info to the computer name since we who maintain our own networks obviously know what the routers SSID is. No need for a computer to report in the status page the SSID of the router.

I don't think i'm for the secure spot application however some features are nice, I wouldnt be one to pay a yearly fee for it just for updates, which I would assume be virus definition updates. Using a macafee license to install in the router, i'm guessing it's a loyalty fee or something.

Anyways, still pleased to see again, as I re-iterate, that dlink is listening to it's customers to make it's top end router pull above the rest or at least come to par with other routers on the market.

Oh, can't wait to see if they impliment something better for the external ip address filtering.

My other question is I’ve changed the router IP to 192.168.1.1 so will the SharePort still work with that IP or does it need to be 192.168.0.1

Don't care about the speed as much as the fact that it works :) Tested it with a Canon iP1600 printer, a bit slow but flawless.

Now my friends with an Airport extreme can't dis my router. Better signal better range and now the USB port is actually useful.

Edit: Even works with a hub! Now that's neat.

Edit 2: I'm on Vista x64, rare to see something that works first time around on this OS. Gotta hand it to D-Link!

Edit 3: It isn't true NAS as only one user can use a device at a time, but it does show a request window for the user to disconnect so that another user can use it if you try to connect to an in use device.

Edit 4: Wow, look how many devices I have attached. Every one of them works except the webcam. Whenever I try to bring up a picture or even just use the mic, whatever app I'm using hangs for a minute, then I get the "device unplugged" noise from vista, the dlink utility blanks out the list of all devices for a second, then brings it back with the webcam "waiting for connection". If I connect again the process repeats itself. Could be a problem with d-link's driver, or just an issue with the speed of the link. Either way it shouldn't disconnect and clear out the list momentarily like it does, sounds like dlink's driver is the one that gets stuck and resets itself.

Yes, it works with a hub.		 

Another user requests to use a device I'm using

woo 4 devices used on different pcs!

LOL

So "SecureSpot" lives, eh? Wow, thought was a goner. Still a fee for that, is there?

Anyway, sticking with 1.12 here because "Internet Connection" not appearing in XP's Network Connections with 1.2x says to me that UPnP support is bugged, not properly supporting what it should and therefore probably badly affecting something somewhere.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21155797 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:04:07 EDT Re: DIR-655 New firmwares 1.21b04 and 1.21b05_nosecurespot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21155379 anon : Beta is alot better than Alpha]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21155379 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:33:14 EDT Re: DIR-655 New firmwares 1.21b04 and 1.21b05_nosecurespot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21155364 tipstir : You guys like to play dangerously with beta firmware until they get it to alpha stage I'll wait and see.

I can't download this.. Either it's my lock down tight security on this system or I'll have to use another system. If you go into the sub folders of dlink FTP you can see this is still beta.
