Re: DIR-655 New Firmware 1.30 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? |
