DIR-655 ... it is A2 hardware ... running 1.21 firmware for a long time ... decided to upgrade ... 1.32NA ... things were working great ... suddenly, it quit passing traffic ... lights were blinking like mad and there was clearly traffic on the cable modem
I've exactly the same story. I can't believe I upgraded the firmware.

That DIR-655 worked so well, and then I go an upgrade the firmware even though the little voice in the back of my head is going "don't do it! don't do it!". And sure enough, the router locks up every 3-4 days.

I've spent a month working on this. Both with D-Link ("yeah, send it back and we'll send you a brand new one!" --> "he told you that? Well, since it's more than a year old, we can't help you. Sorry."), grepping forums (turning off DHCP doesn't fix the issue), and have finally just given up.

Thanks for the recommendation for the Linksys WRT610N. I've vowed never to buy Linksys again, but with the quality of consumer routers these days, you have to get egg on your face every now and again.

Actually there are several.
I can personally recommend (although it's a bit off-topic) Vigor DrayTek 2820Vn which I own, what an amazing router!! So far every single router I have tested made by DrayTek has proven to be excellent. You do pay a premium for their products, but you certainly get what you paid for.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-23481710 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 08:27:44 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.32 firmware - DNS relay issue (fixed) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-23372647
Long story short ... my long love affair with D-Link has come to an end and I threw the thing in the closet to give to an enemy should I make one. I went out and bought the Cisco WRT610N and it does EVERYTHING that I want including handling QoS better for VoIP on cable connections that support PowerBoost (or similar) such as Comcast so I am not forced to limit my upload to the lower sustained rate. All in all, it is a better router, EVEN with the internal antenna it does a much better job. It took a lot less time to configure as well and I now have 5.0GHz (although no use for it as of yet). My devices that have G (I recommend you set your setting to 20Hz only if you use mixed mode) have better reception in the corners in the basement where there is no line of site and a metal furnace in between ... and I am referring to an iPod Touch (gen 2) which does not have fabulous reception to begin with and it never worked well with the D-Link in that location (even when picking a low channel to get a longer wavelength and thus better distance).

Since D-Link is so willing to release garbage firmware and essentially ruin equipment that customers rely upon then I am no longer willing to be a future customer of theirs. They are back to where they used to be 4 years ago ... at the bottom of the heap.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-23372647 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:43:53 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.32 firmware - DNS relay issue (fixed) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-23354962
I though that my router was a great product when I first bought it, but then I had some problems with my Belkin N USB device. So I thought I'd update my firmware and it ends up practically breaking the product!?

WTF? I had a WBR-2310 before, and that router locked up almost as much as my DIR-655 after I updated the firmware. Why did they even release a firmware update? They should have a large disclaimer across their firmware site: "Do not upgrade if your router works".

Thanks for settings I'll try these out and hope that I get at least 4-5+ days uptime. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-23354962 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:36:12 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.32 firmware - DNS relay issue (fixed) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-23053813 said by travelguy:

Wouldn't surprise me if that were the problem here also. We're using an older version of the Checkpoint VPN that doesn't work with Vista. It's a Fortune 500 company and no word on when that will be updated.
Her company is one of those Fortune 500's, but anyway VPN clients I've use and supported through out the years I prefer Nortel VPN Client. Cisco VPN Client okay. Outsource company use by the wife company always have issues when so many of employees work from home.

Anyway it's G enabled DELL Latitude latest model. It does gig and N but admin rights are restricted by her profile. I let the Belkin N+ handle only N wireless connections. I have a couple of Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 around the house for Wireless G MIMO running DD-WRT firmware. Those routers best for Access Points. Never issue with them. Belkin N+ gig features are excellent. N still in draft but I am hoping my investment in that router won't go wasted if Belkin doesn't come out with the standard N firmware for it.

On home base wireless laptops I use Juniper Networks Odyssey Access Client which has EAP+TLL encryption on wireless side can also be use on wired side connections. To me that does a better job then any of the other wireless access client utilities that come with most 802.11g/n adapters. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-23053813 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 11:59:52 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.32 firmware - DNS relay issue (fixed) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-23053447 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-23053447 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 09:57:33 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.32 firmware - DNS relay issue (fixed) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-23052392 said by travelguy:

My wife had the same issue when she had tried from here but that was an issue with the VPN ACE Server on the host side.

In the picture above the area highlighted is NOT where you can click to disable DNS relay. That setting is in Setup>Network Settings and in the panel "Router Settings". It's not meant to be. Re-read the post again.

said by DaveMcLain:

Question? Does the router's IP address(I've switched it to use 192.168.1.1) or the chosen wireless mode(I just left it in B,G and N mode) have any effect on reliability?
I've run mine at 192.168.1.1 ever since I got it. I have always had the wireless set to mixed-mode G and N as I don't have any wireless B devices. It still locked up every few days with DNS relay enabled. It has been up longer than ever since I've disabled it.

UPDATE 9/14/09 @ 02:30:

This is most unfortunate... I don't have an exact idea how long my router was up, because since I disabled DNS relay about 9 days ago, we've had a couple of weather-related power outages.

But, I just had a lockup. I just had to reboot. Nothing else I could do.

Frustrating...

Right now I'm testing my DIR-655 once again. I have version A2 with the 1.32NA firmware. In the past I've only managed to get about 3 days max of continuous use out of this box before it would stop working. Hopefully this will fix the problem because it's a nice router.

Best not to use Reserve or Invoke
Best not to use DNS Relay (bug)
Best to use DHCP Server but then you have to do static IP on systems you always want to use the same IP address. If not again IP conflict on the network.

If your settings are set to automatic, then it should be working. Disable DNS Relay, Restart the router, restart your modem and restart your computer. There shouldn't be anything to it.

Do you set static IP addresses for all your computers? If so, fill in the DNS portion of it. Should work fine on automatic.



Also, make sure to revoke the IP addresses in your router. Setup -> Network Settings: Scroll all the way to the bottom and hit revoke for every IP.

I'll live without my FIOS Remote DVR for the sake of stability, although I shouldn't have to. These issues really are a disgrace at this point.

UPDATE:

MY Remote DVR works without DNS relay enabled! After I turned if off last night in the router, I disconnected the power for my NIM100, taking all of my TV-side equipment off the network. I left it this way overnight and reconnected it this morning. I found VOD and everything worked but the Remote DVR wasn't. I did a reset on the DVR that was described over in the FIOS TV forum and it didn't make a difference immediately, but now a couple hours later I found my Remote DVR works.

So, I will leave the DNS relay turned off. Since it appears I don't need it, and D-Link will probably never be able to fix the problem anyway.

So am I right in thinking that with DNS Relay turned off I NEED to revoke active assigned IP addreses or is it simply a case of manually inputting the primary and secondary DNS servers (I use OpenDNS)?

Or do I need to assign the same servers and gateway settings to each connected machine? (this will be a problem for laptops as they're used at other locations too).

I had the DIR655 and now have a Sitecom WL308 XR which uses the same setup as the DIR 655 and I experience the same hanging/slowdowns after a few days of solid usage.

Thanks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-22919810 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:39:39 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.32 firmware - DNS relay issue (fixed) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-22899655

I am happy to say with dns relay turned off now I am up to 11 Day 22 Hour 07 Min 40 Sec and still going on 1.32 a3
Currently have an uptime of 16+ days right now - I know it was more than that prior to a forced reboot 16 days ago (other tweak to the router settings).. :)

Settings:

- DNS Relay = off
- Advanced DNS = off
- Set DNS servers manually on the router.
- Forced IP refresh all connections when I turned off DNS Relay.
- Router setup as a DHCP server - "typical" settings... with locked down state (WPA2 / Known MAC Addresses only allowed on the network).

Has been as rock-solid as usual.... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-22889365 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:51:05 EDT Re: DIR-655 1.32 firmware - DNS relay issue (fixed) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-22886589 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DIR655-132-firmware-DNS-relay-issue-fixed-22886589 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:34:22 EDT
