The fact of the matter is, if there's a defect in a product, customers have every right to hear about it, and every right to know if it's being covered up. Obviously, Dlink thinks otherwise, or else they wouldn't have just deleted the posts, but would have responded to them. If the posts weren't correctly identifying a problem, one would think they'd be more than happy to verify that right then and there, and put the whole issue at rest. Lock the thread, but don't delete posts, respond to them, and if able to prove the author's statements false, go ahead and ban him.

I'm probably in the minority, but I think it's pathetic they deleted those posts. I'd read about the alleged problems people were having with their DGL-4500 routers, but I didn't really think it was much of a problem, and possibly more user related than a hardware/software defect. I've owned the DGL-4300 which was rock solid until it died after nearly 3 years service. The single act of erasing posts in their forum; well, now I believe it's true. I'll be looking elsewhere for my next router. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DLink-Banning-Users-and-Deleting-Posts-Critical-Of-DLink-23842263 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:33:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DLink-Banning-Users-and-Deleting-Posts-Critical-Of-DLink-23727621 said by ssnui:

:D

Let's see if I get any responses on my thread!

I'm very curious as to their response, as I seem to have ran into a bad firmware as I described in my post.

However, JUST in case they ban/delete my post, here's the image:



Added DIR-615 rev and firmware just in case I was asked at the thread.

If it had been any other company any other issue I would agree...but in the case of D-Link and THAT moderator and given their past you would think that D-Link would be a bit more...PC about it.

Besides...it doesn't matter what thread you post in, if you dare post anything negative about D-Link in their forums you will be banned...there are mounds of proof on this and certainly examples here.

D-Link is still engaged in censorship on their forums. It's kind of refreshing to at least see they admit it. There can be no denying it. Previously they just wouldn't respond but now they are obviously "proud" of their censorship reputation.

It would appear that this latest firmware fix while it may have fixed a majority of the 3 day lockup issues it still leaves unfixed a ton of other problems including wireless. Almost universally the wireless issues have remained the same or in several cases become worse than before based on the multitude of forum complaints I've read over the past 6 days.

To make things worse, D-link is telling those who who recently filed BBB complaints that they want them to try the firmware instead of replacing or refunding the router. This is a stalling tactic folks and don't fall for it. Whatever you do..do not allow the BBB to close the case against D-link until you have received satisfaction.

This is how they are tricking you folks. Instead of filing a response to issues raised by the consumer through the BBB arbitration process what they are doing is filing a FINAL RESPONSE FROM COMPANY. You get the email and then by BBB rules you have a short time to respond with your acceptance or refusal. IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND the BBB closes your case favorable to D-Link (and this is what they are counting on).

DO NOT ALLOW THE BBB OR DLINK TO DO THIS TO YOU! If they push the firmware nonsense on you immediately refuse the offer through the BBB portal and demand either immediate replacement or refund for the cost of your router.

Also...if D-Link all of sudden stops responding to you via email (which they have done in several cases) then you need to immediately notify the BBB through the portal or even better yet call them or fax them with the details (remember to keep everything).

D-link is sneaky folks, have doubts read all the posts from me in this thread...it should clear things up nicely. Do not trust them under any circumstances (remember, the only way you could get any results was to file a BBB complaint..what does this tell you about D-Link?)

Once again if you have any questions at all or need help let me know either in this thread or by pm or you can contact me directly at help@d-linkfixmyrouternow.info

The Netgear WNDR3700 is pretty amazing. In fact I've enabled its wireless radio, something I had disabled on the DGL4500 due to stability issues and coverage.

I had one issue with the QoS rules, but after some fiddling found the options I needed to duplicate the functionality of my old rulesets. the UPNP is snappy and not buggy. File copies are amazing fast again with no lockups.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DLink-Banning-Users-and-Deleting-Posts-Critical-Of-DLink-23163349 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:40:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DLink-Banning-Users-and-Deleting-Posts-Critical-Of-DLink-23144658

Re: my router still works.

Hey guys,

I got some news.. We finally got some code but we are not releasing it out yet to you guys. You know what happened last time everyone got the code and didn't like it. That said we are hand picking customers to try out this code and waiting for their feedback. It's not going to be released as soon as you think. We will be testing in our environment, which btw we never see the issue in house. Customers that we have picked will be testing out this code and we will wait for there results. If we get enough positive feedback from those selected customers we will make a decision to post it here as beta for you to try or not. It will all depend on testing results.

Sorry it has been this long and we may have lost you as a customer and wish you the best of luck on finding a new router. For those that are still around we are working on a fix.
Nevermind. I found it. That last sentence is unreal though. They couldn't care less that they lost a ton of customers. Oh and D-link...your post today stops nothing. The time where we might have considered giving you a break is long over. Every review, every forum, every gamer site, you name it is going to have access to these threads and all related issues with your products and customer service. Hell it may take us months to post in them all...but we're going to do it. And once enough people come forward to form a class...it's game over D-Link.

The original receipt would be a big help. If you don't have it where did you buy the router? Based on your credit card info compusa will be able to pull the original receipt. If you bought from anything mail order you have access to the original through their website. If you don't have the original don't worry though. It doesn't matter, the firmware they released caused the damage and they are still responsible warranty or not. Plus D-Link can check the serial number and check close enough that way.

Amazon has 30% off the WNDR3700 putting it roughly at the same price brand new as the DGL-4500.
According to Amazon, that's $30 off, not 30% off. In addition "Usually ships within 1 to 2 months.", so I have absolutely no idea if shipping will be timely or not.

There isn't much else I can disable on the D-Link. Mine doesn't run its wireless radio or have DNS relay enabled. All the QoS settings are hardcoded so there is no dynamic analysis for traffic. The firewall has CPU intensive features turned off, and performance is still subpar.

It's just not worth the hassle anymore. Maybe I can smash my old router into little pieces and ship it to D-link support, but considering today's political climate, they might mistake that as a threat.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DLink-Banning-Users-and-Deleting-Posts-Critical-Of-DLink-23111715 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:55:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DLink-Banning-Users-and-Deleting-Posts-Critical-Of-DLink-23110851 said by Puffnstuff:

The Netgear WNDR3700 is rock solid. I received the router about 9 days ago. Started it up, automatically updated the firmware. Then set up my DHCP reservations and let it rip. It has been up ever since not one single problem. The wireless range is unreal. I have a fairly big home and have the router on the top floor. 2 floors down in the basement I get 86% connection on 2.4 and 46% on the 5 MHz. Blew away the DIR 825 where on 5 G the best I ever saw was 19%.

I have had 0 disconnects and the router is lightning fast. I have 4 wireless pc's connected one running gaming and one hard wired at 1000.
Its perfect. The Dlink products are garbage due to the firmware. I had started with the DIR 655 with firmware 1.11 and it was rock solid. That now sits at 1.32 and is junk. Then got the DIR 825 rev B1 same thing disconnects like crazy and random. My wife almost failed an online course due to the disconnect. She pleaded with the instructor and he gave her another chance. That next test was on the WNDR3700 with no problem.

Its a disgrase that they banned me for trying to get them to fix the problems in their product, sort of censorship if you ask me. I am done with Dlink they are burying that company with the programmers they have.

One more note. The DIR-825 is the first router that I have owned that does NOT STEALTH all ports. Port 0 and 1 show closed. You can check at shieldup site with a full port scan. Every router Dlink or other has been Stealth on ALL ports including the WNDR3700. Showing closed gives a reply back to a would be hacker as STEALTH does not give any reply and the IP is invisible.

I am a DIR-855 owner (even more expensive than the DGL4500) and man is that a paper weight.

Well I started off all nice on the forums at DLink regarding bad firmware and the attitude of the mods.... well lets just say I didn't stand for it.

The mods, pushed me and I created a blog to fire back. Funny how that now works, I have posted stuff on the forum that should have been deleted and myself banned, yet they won't touch me now.

My blog has been up for approx 2 months now and getting a respectable amount of traffic. The interesting thing is that those who were looking to buy one, read my blog and then went to a different brand.

Suffice to say that the mods nolonger post on the dir-855 forum after many criticized their lack of customer service.

Tipster I don't disagree but times are tough and people just don't have the money to throw out equipment they just spent $150 or more on. The amount of time it takes to file the BBB complaint is about 10 minutes and the response time is about 48 hours depending on if its a weekend or not. Filers are given two options from D-link that I know of so far. (1) Replacement or (2) money back.

And honestly at this point it goes way beyond the money....
Today you can spend any amount for wireless router doesn't have to in the hundreds. Dirt cheap or less than $59 new or $15 used or factory serviced. These prices are popping up more and then lets not forget the good old ebay crowd.

Good luck with your fight for justice!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DLink-Banning-Users-and-Deleting-Posts-Critical-Of-DLink-23098825 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:59:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DLink-Banning-Users-and-Deleting-Posts-Critical-Of-DLink-23097633
just because you might consider it "cheap" a 170+ dollar router is not cheap, and it is no excuse for bad product breaking firmware updates.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DLink-Banning-Users-and-Deleting-Posts-Critical-Of-DLink-23097633 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:20:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DLink-Banning-Users-and-Deleting-Posts-Critical-Of-DLink-23097611
