Can you flip them over and tell me what version they are?[/BQUOTE :

Looks like I have two v2's and one with no version number, therefore probably a v1.

V3 is the newest one but I've heard there is not heatsink on the CPU. How don't know how you're running yours but I do send a lot of data through these switches. Just can't handle the load. V2 is what I have.

I bought the 3rd one most recently from newegg.com with rebate offer just about 1 month ago hoping to get a version 3 but they sent me a V2. Oh well. I did not return it since all my other V2 switches seem to hold up just fine.

Also, I just took delivery of my new Dlink DIR-655 this afternoon. It is a hardware version A4 with firmware V1.20 installed. I fired it up for about an hour now as an Access Point only (turned off the DHCP and not connected to WAN Internet port) just to see how it transmits and holds up as a wireless radio. So far, solid as a rock not a single dropped packet doing continuous pinging tests (still going as I type this). I hope this is indicative of what is to come when I later hook it up in place as my main gateway router to the internet (replacing my trusty Netgear WNR3500).
So far so good... I do not plan on upgrading to newest firmware V1.31 at this point.

tipstir, yeah, I read about the poor reviews on the Netgear GS608 gigabit switches, unfortunately I had bought 3 of them before learning what others were saying about them. However, I have been running 2 of these switches for well over a year continuous never unplugged the power to this day and never had them shutdown or overheat on me. But I really have not used them to pass gigabit jumbo framed loads at all, so I don't know if I will experience the problems with them once I begin to utilize gigabit transfers.

I have not yet explored using DDR-WRT firmware on my Linksys routers yet. Maybe one day when they finalize a good working version for the WRT610N and WRT320N routers, I will. The routers work great when they are working but it is just that I have had signal drop outs after my son does some file downloads through them. Odd.

As for my Netgear routers, they may not be the fastest rated throughput speeds (from posted reviews) but for me I have had the best luck these days with Netgear routers being the most stable and reliable (as in holding up a connection forever without dropping). So I am happy with my Netgear router(s) because of this. I was using the older Netgear WPNT834 Pre-N router before I switched to the current Netgear WNR3500 draft 2.0 N router. Both serving me reliably and well.

I am hoping that the new Dlink DIR-655 A4 or A3 I get today will hold up well. If it does, it will replace my Netgear WNR3500 as my main gateway to the internet. All my other routers will then be used as access points throughout the house for Dual-Band wireless access.

Big difference when you leave Netgear for DIR-655. But you should be happy. If it's works with the current tested firmware on I would advise using that until Sept release of the standard N firmware. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22411837 Tue, 19 May 2009 14:16:15 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.31 Firmware available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22411059 staticfree6 : tipstir, yeah, I read about the poor reviews on the Netgear GS608 gigabit switches, unfortunately I had bought 3 of them before learning what others were saying about them.

I just ordered a new Dlink DIR-655 router from Newegg.com and was hoping to get a version A4. I am wondering how many of the version A4 owners are having problems with this router with the new firmware release or with the old 1.20 release? I had only recently started jumping back on the wireless N bandwagon after leaving the scene for about 2 years. I recently went crazy looking for low priced wireless-N routers and wound up buying a Netgear WNR3500 refurb from ebay, a Linksys WRT610N new from ebay (got a decently low price on it) and a new Linksys WRT320N from ebay also at a lower than going rate price.
The Netgear WNR3500 is by far the most stable running wireless N router so far and that's my gateway router to the Internet. The Linksys routers drop signals on average after a day or two of constant running as Access Points only duty. All interconnected hardwire by Netgear GS608 Gigabit switches. Since my Linky's are dropping signal periodically, I don't trust them for reliability. So thusly I am now on my venture to try the latest iteration of the Dlink DIR-655 A3 or A4 (depends on which version newegg.com sends to me!).

FYI, I had tried an early version A2 of the Dlink DIR-655 when they first came out about 2 years ago and had a bad experience with Dlink constantly dropping packets, so returned it.

I hope this newer Dlink DIR-655 does not drop packets and connections on me like the original A2 did 2 years ago.
Hello everyone on Dlink forum... I am back again. Hope they fix the latest issues in next firmware release as I am counting on this DIR-655 to be my main gateway router due to just about every review report rates it as one of the fastest throughput WAN to LAN and LAN to WAN speeds to date.

I own Netgear products, the GS series for switches (two) is one of the worst ones they make. No heat sink on the NPU thus making it over heat to 131F then the ports get dust in the process. That can screw-up your devices connected to such a switch. I ran test, connected a temp probe directly to the unit. If you go to the Netgear forum here on DSL you can see my results awful. Netgear told me they could replace the switches but what the heck are they going to send me in replacement the same crap.

I opt out and got Trendnet uses metal case, heat sink they have the same features as the top of the line Dlink gig switch for the 8-ports, 144KB buffer, 8K mac address table, 1.6GB, Vites Gig Chip set for the ports. 5 years protection.

Still never had issues with that one as it does have green ports feature which wasn't documented on their site.

Netgear N wireless router isn't hat hot to me, I have it and the WMI features is awful for video/audio streaming. SteamEngine Chip set is 100% better in the Dlink than anything Netgear offers.

Linksys 610N and 310N (these are okay for N AP using DD-WRT) I've tested that with people who own them. I won't buy a Linksys devices ever again. Before I did but not again.

A2 I had opt out for the A3 since is had newer PCB, different chip set for Gig Ports that are from Realtek they use 838KB packet buffer, prior A2 had only 96KB from Vites.

At that point, I was able to issue a soft reboot and it's been working fine since with no errors.

I did flash to the latest version on Saturday (as it appeared that the DNS issue was finally resolved) ... :( Should have waited a few more days.

Oh well. I can live with the occasional reboot for now and hopefully they will update the firmware soon enough to fix this before I need to reset the speedtouch in non-bridged mode (only G wireless tho).

WAN is also running smoothly at 1Gb.

Torrents are a joke to this router, a good swarm can yield a ~700KB download rate, with a 50KB upload.

I suppose D-Link could have produced some faulty hardware, but I would more likely place blame on the end user setting something incorrectly.

Your A4 is the first of the DIR-655 line to be 100% integrated both wired and wireless is embedded on the PCB. Your hardware is much different layout than the A1, A2, A3 PCB are.

Torrent is just find on A3.. Speeds are clocked at:

3.65mb/s max

2.60mb/s med

1.90mb/s normal

Router has 200 max connections.

Windows Client OS and Server OS all of them only max out at 10 by MS TCP.SYS limiter.

Universal TCP.SYS Patcher can change that 10 into 100/200.
I set mine (backup) to 200. Torrent client software is 100
Balance between the too.

Never had an issues with Torrents. But I do it on the wired gig side not wireless!!

Download max shown above
Upload max can be tweaked but you don't want that set to high. 100mb/s is good enough]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22407126 Mon, 18 May 2009 16:23:55 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.31 Firmware available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22406545 Fireblade :

Yes they all do that with RMA and shipping, not only DLINK. It's cheaper just to go out and buy a new router. Just cost too much to ship this crap back and forth then back again!

Frankly don't update the firmware to 1.31 or just wait for another patch firmware to fix the problems with 1.31. I for one is going to sit on the 1.30 and then wait for standard N crop to come out. Just use the DIR-655 as wired gig router turn off/disable the malfunctioning wireless N/G features. Get wireless N 600mbps standard extender to tap into a gig port using a gig port. That's the best way to do this for now. Just something happens with gig wired router with built-in wireless N. Just not working out the way they claim!

When the DIR655 first came out to head against Linksys' equivalent N router - the DIR655 absolutely massacred it in every feature and every performance/stability benchmark you can think of. The DIR655 was the best router out of every other company that offered N products. Now? I don't know.

Brief:
The term CAPTCHA is an acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. CAPTCHA is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to ensure that responses are generated by humans, not computers. A common type of CAPTCHA requires the user to type letters or numbers from a distorted image that appears on the screen.

@FrostyMelon,

You guys are going to get the idea I live at Costco (OK so I do) but they have V4 with firmware 1.20 on them. I believe reading this forum you would get the idea that 1.20 & 1.21 are not any good yet D'Link ships units with it on them and you say 1.21 is "Gold".

Buy a new one from Best Buy, swap the old router with the new one and bring it back. That's what I did when 1.21 bricked my router. You might have to replace the stickers under the actual router but BB didn't even check it when I bought it back.

I was running version 1.21.

I "upgraded" to 1.31. Now the WAN DHCP client sits there forever saying "Establishing (please wait...)".

I have reset, reconfigured, 30-30-30, many times... nothing fixes it. My old saved settings don't fix it, and factory default settings don't fix it.

I plugged in my old Linksys, and wrote down it's WAN DHCP settings. I reset the DIR-655, set WAN as static IP, put in the written down settings, it worked.

Feeling confident, I reloaded my old saved settings into the DIR-655, setup the WAN as static IP again, but this time, no joy. Plugged in the LinkSys again, and it works fine. Lather, rinse, repeat.

So, I've effectively bricked my DIR-655, as the DLink release notes say, you can't downgrade from 1.31. Genius.

Note:

When DNS Relay is enabled along with Advanced DNS feature, your workstations on the network that are obtaining an IP address from router’s DHCP server will obtain 192.168.0.1 (router’s IP address). However, traffic will still be protected.

Although Advanced DNS feature is enabled, DNS IP address of your workstation can still be modified to the DNS server IP you desire. Please note that the router does not dictate the DNS name resolution when DNS IP address is configured on the workstation.

If you selected this option and have VPN or Intranet setup in your network, you can disable Advanced DNS service if you experience connection difficulties.

Most Vendors have changed the way channels are handled. Fact, the FCC forbids non-qualified folks from changing software that can change things outside of the USA legal limits. So to be on the safe side they (most MFG) are going to hard wired channels and power out that is not effected by the software as it once was.

But let me say that I am not doing anything fancy and my current router usage is three machines on Ethernet and one laptop on "G". UPNP on and no other port forwarding so I can't speak to anything in that area that might have some problems and I would never know.

The router has been stable and is actually playing well with my Airport Extreme both running N networks. Under 1.22, I had to shut down the N network on the DIR 655 and only use b and g to get things stable on the Airport Extreme.

Now why the two routers? The Airport Extreme does an amazing job at handling external USB drives. Maybe Shareport will take a hint here. On the Airport Extreme, I run a USB hub and hang two drives off it. I can also run a printer simultaneously here is I choose. One that is for my backups via Time Machine and the other is a FAT32 drive that both XP and Mac can share. I run a small client from Apple on the XP machines and connect as a guest. The reconnection at start up is automatic and requires no intervention. Again - Shareport needs to get to this point to make it easy to use.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22318071 Thu, 30 Apr 2009 10:11:49 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.31 Firmware available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22316649 No_Strings : NA = North America.

Does anyone that has upgraded for this new firmware version can tell me if they have changed "ROUTING" option, under ADVANCED menu to allow us to make routes to LAN instead WAN?

My router uses firmware 1.21 and I cannot make static route to my own LAN, only to WAN port. I will just upgrade if this option is available.

Thanks!

Since they already have developed the software for the DSi it would only be a hardware cost which I'm sure would be much less than $1.00. Is just that they're too stubborn and backward to make the change.

They should just upgrade their equipment like the rest of us do! Either that or just go back to wires, don't keep demanding that antique legacy standards be maintained!

You can buy a Nintendo DS today that only supports 802.11b with WEP. The user cannot upgrade, it is Nintendo who keeps this around. The DS is still a popular product at a reasonable price that is sold alongside the New DSi. The new DSi that just came out this month does support faster wifi standards and better wireless security but the price is approx $40 higher. The DS will be in play for a few more years....

In my case, the DS connects to an unsecured Guest Network. I will not compromise my main network.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22313656 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 13:01:06 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.31 Firmware available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22313597 dcurrey : I have a couple udp ports open for some voip stuff.

Because of the small glitches I decided to try out 1.30 firmware, it works too. .. The only thing I have problem with now is the ports, my FTP server is not working after the upgrade, can't get port 21 to open anymore, strange!

Now I have upgraded to 1.31, same thing and a downgrade is impossible, bummer!

Anyone else notice any strange things with port openings?

I have noticed a significant improvement on the wireless side, on N mainly. 802.11g performance is roughly the same.

802.11b is also available anyway.

Seems to work quite well actually, after upgrading the router my notebook's N speed jumped from 150mbps max to 300mbps max, varying from 90mbps all the way up to 300.
