Re: DIR 825 Firmware v1.11 Released

said by pleekmo:

Right now I'd rather first get the router lockup issue fixed. So far right now current settings seem to be working: no lockup in the past thirteen hours. We'll know by the time I get home tonight whether it's working.

One of these five things may have fixed it:

1. Reflashed after even more router resets.
2. Turned off logging completely.
3. Turned on WLAN partitioning.
4. 5 GHz. band turned to N-only.
5. Changed RTS Threshold and Fragmentation Threshold to 2346.
See you live in Manchester, CT where did you buy the router there? Best Buy?

I believe so since I haven't been to the Circuit City since sometime around autumn sometime.

By the way, none of the above fixed it and I noticed while checking out my router settings that I missed

6. Changed MTU from 1500 to 1492.

I've since changed it back.

When I came home this evening from work the router had reverted to a mostly locked up state. I say "mostly" because it exhibited an interesting behavior:

I keep a WinXP remote connection window open to the machine in the living room which is connected wirelessly on the 5 GHz. channel. Though the router appeared locked up [router HTTP interface inaccessible, bittorrents stopped with a "invalid host" error in the tracker status] that remote connection still worked: I could remotely access the desktop on that remote computer and see that the bittorrent client showed nothing uploading or downloaded and I could see that tracker status error.

Also by the way, I see that there is a "newer" v1.11 firmware on the D-Link FTP. The file has a newer date; however, the binary seems to be the same old binary [matching MD5] in the 4 May 2009 file but with a slightly redone TXT file with slight changes in the wording of the changelog and the addition of a couple of other changes that appear to have been left out of the 4 May 2009 changelog.

Just for the hell of it I downloaded the file and reset my router and applied this "newer" binary. We'll see if there is any difference in behavior.
