1 edit | Something to be said for older still working routers, huh? I still use a DI624 REV C.
It runs on 2.42 firmware(quite old, March 2004).
Has never rebooted on it's own, can deliver 17mbps+ via wireless(22-24mbps wireless LAN) and will pound in at 195mbps across LAN via ethernet.
"Newer is not always better"
So, to the owners of the DIR 655, was the 1.10 firmware broken?

Not as bad as 1.21 is broken.
What do you mean 195 Mbps? |

I’m not sure about the 1.10 but the 1.11 was very stable. The 1.21 (without securespot) does not work for me. I tried 1.21 twice and each time it would lock-up less than a week. I’m currently on 1.20 (4.5 days so far) and if 1.20 fails I’ll go back to 1.11 or purchase another router and run dd-wrt or Tomato and be done with it |
