Re: [Info] DGL-4500 New firmware 1.21 beta

There are a couple of items in the change log but it was written primarily to address the issues in fw 1.20.

It wasn't written primarily to fix the issues in the previous firmware. It's just more additions to fix small stuff. It still has the same problems as before. Very little code change. According to PM, the issues I was seeing when presented to them, they did not think were major at all. As far as I'm concerned, it's still exactly the same.

What they should be doing is fixing all the issues at hand, rather than adding all these other things to all their models. Seems to be what broke them, as it's happening across all of their top models.

Not seeing any de-orthentication wireless issues, but I am using the same settings as pre-1.21, which involves not using N, just g only. I haven't tried b,g, and n, but I don't intend too, as long as I don't get wireless disconnects/orthentication errors Im okay.

I personally don't like the idea of a beta if its basically a full release, I mean 1.20 was also in beta and nothing was changed for full release. I personally think its takes too long to get firmwares out, and to get issues fixed. I also want more information on beta/full release firmware notes, because I want to know what changes are made. I'm pretty unhappy with the support for the 4500 router, and I was unhappy with the support for the 4100, and 4300. There's still many wireless only issues and all current d-link routers; they really aren't being adressed.

Firmware does seem stable, and don't have any complaints yet.

Still not seeing any deorthentication issues, however been having some wireless issues like pages constantly loading but not fetching information, typical wireless d-link issues. This issue appears to happen when gamerfuel is turned on, turned gamerfuel off and so far getting a much sharper wireless performance, only time will tell.

SETTINGS THAT AREN'T DEFAULT.

GAMERFUEL: OFF

NAT Endpoint Filtering

UDP Endpoint Filtering: Endpoint Independent
TCP Endpoint Filtering: Endpoint Independent

Advanced Wireless Settings

Short GI: OFF
Extra Wireless Protection: OFF

WISH: OFF

Wi-Fi Protected Setup: OFF

Wireless Network Settings

Enable Wireless : Always

Wireless Network Name : (Also called the SSID) .

802.11 Band : 2.4GHz

802.11 Mode : 802.11g only

Enable Auto Channel Scan : OFF

Wireless Channel : 2.412 GHz - CH 11

Transmission Rate : 36 (Mbit/s)

Visibility Status : Visible

With settings so far, very few errors after changing from channel 11 to 1. Lowering the transmission rate from auto to locking in a rate seems to give me better performance. At this point its about seeing how individual changes effect wireless performance, all of these changes effect wireless performance, but until I get long loading worring pages I keep the wireless settings as is. Its pretty sad that I have to resort to this just to get normal wireless performance, but Ill keep at it, these are the best settings I've used so far.
