Re: DIR-655 New Firmware 1.30

Dlink is starting to take the cake on this. cant downgrade?

Whats so bad is i bought a dgl-4500 and over in the dlink beta forums you have people wanting to downgrade to 1.02 and dlink doesnt care if you cant downgrade. They want you to quit bitching and move on with a broken firmware.

they keep this crap up im soon going to have to find myself a better company to deal with. Linksys,and netgear are out in my book.

edit no b? they are crazy i still have my axim 51v its still uses b.

Killing B is not a big deal for me. Everything I have is at least G. Sooner or later it needs to be dumped. You would think they could wait until N is final.

I would try this but not being able to go back scares me. Dlink isn't known for proper testing of firmwares and thats putting it as nice as I can.

Good God, what the hell are they thinking?

By locking down the firmware from even reverting to other previous versions, they are just asking for more trouble.

I agree with the whole 802.11b thing. Why can't they just make it so that if N and G aren't active, then 802.11b should be able to work, or if N and G are enabled, then B shouldn't be an option. Removing a whole standard completely is just wrong and lazy.

Could be they feel that supporting B is causing more trouble than its worth. Most people buy new routers for N speeds not the older B standard.

But, wasn't part of the Draft N specifications that it was backwards compatible? Or am I completely mistaken?
