Re: Optimum Online Ultra - Best Routers
The DIR-655 is cheap. And sadly problematic. Just like the 825 I've had to do a hard reboot just to get connectivity too many times. I might just have to jump to the apple. |

I intalled the DIR-655 about a month ago with regular OOL, in preparation for Ultra, which is going to be installed in a few days. It has been working perfect, wired.
Have you been using it on Ultra? Do you use it wired or wireless?

Then we can't get back on for awhile. Then the wireless will drop for no reason ect ect ect. |

| I noted that with the d-link, after downloading large files off of usenet, via newsleecher and giganews, the router would just stop working, forcing me to do a hard reset to get back online. It would happen constantly to the point where I had to replace it. |

DIR 655 with older firmware is rock solid reliable (e.g. v 1.11). Recent firmware update quality has been somewhat sketchy, though (and worse, some newer firmwares are not able to back out to earlier versions). |

I've been running a DIR-655 for about a year and a half - I think it's using 1.21 firmware at the moment, and it's rock-solid with Ultra.
It only gets a reboot when I need to change forwarded ports, or when the power goes out. I turned off QOS and other unnecessary features except SPI firewall. |

I have DIR-655 and getting Ultra installed today. Are there any special settings that I need to do? It is currently running fine on regular OOL.
