I am having some trouble with airplay.

Some times on my Iphone 5 i cannot see the "Airplay logo". And on my Ipad 2 i can not see the "Airplay logo" at all. Can this be firmware related, due upgrading to 1.37?

Is it possible to downgrade to see if this fixes the issue?

Good morning,
I recently updated the FW on our RevA DIR-655.
After the update I hard reset the router using the button on the back panel.
Although our devices can see the network, no internet connection can be made.

I was extremely foolish; I didn't come to the forums to educate myself on updating router firmware.  This is my first router, and the first time updating firmware.
I did the update over wifi.

Of course after running into issues after the update I came here to seek knowledge, only to find out that I should not have updated over wifi.  And possibly should not have updated at all.

Have I bricked our router?  Are there any avenues to repair what I have done?

I would sincerely appreciate any help with my screw up.
Network notes:
No bridges/extenders
No hardwired computers
1 laptop
2 android phones
3 TiVo units

Thank you for your time and assistance.
Jeff

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.

• What region are you located?
• Was the router working before any firmware updates? What was the reason for updating FW?

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
• Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?

Link>Welcome!

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.

I believe the version is A4 (can confirm when home)

• Link>What Firmware versionwas loaded?

version 1.37NA was loaded (to the best of my memory)

• What region are you located?

US>Missouri>Comcast

• Was the router working before any firmware updates? What was the reason for updating FW?

Yes, it was working.  Was experiencing multiple dropouts per day.  Seemed as if the dropouts were random

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
Comcast, please forgive my network/router ignorance; I did not have specific ip addresses set up for each device on the network.  I believe it was setup for 2.4ghz only, user created ssid & password.  I *think* security was wpa(2)?/tkip

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?

Comcast cable

• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?

User owned docsis 3, Motorola, I believe the model # is 6120

• Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?

I feel pretty ignorant not knowing this answer, but I believe the correct answer is dynamic.  I have not setup specific IP address for any devices on the network to use.

• What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?

Certainly ignorant on this one.  This may not be the answer you are looking for, but speed tests usually vary between 14-25mbps download, appox. 5mbps upload

I would like to sincerely apologize for my lack of preparation of this task.  And to thank you for helping me with this issue.  It's people like me (not educating myself first) that must be frustrating to help.  I most certainly have learned my lesson.

Again, sincere thanks for taking the time with me.
Kind regards,
Jeff

Can you get to the routers web page?

I'd try a factory reset on the router, use IE or FF with any security add-ons disabled and reload the FW file again using a hard wired connected PC, factory reset once again and then set up.

Please follow this for doing any FW updates:
FW Update Process

Power off the ISP modem for 15 seconds then back ON when you do the last factory reset on the router.

Check the Internet connection on the router under Status/Device Info. The WAN section should be filled in with IP addresses. Test a web page for Internet connection on the wired PC. Then test a wireless device.

I will follow these steps to the letter after work this afternoon and will report back.

Success!  Humble thanks to you FuzzyNutz for your help.
During setup, I chose "not secured".  Is there a security level/type that you would suggest?
Oh, and I did not enable advanced DNS services during the setup.  I recall reading somewhere that could lead to difficulties.  Is this correct?

Thank you very much Fuzzy!
Kind regards,
Jeff

Ya been some issues here and there with Adv DNS.
You can try this for DNS:

• Turn off DNS Relay  under Setup/Networking. Link>Finding Faster DNS Addresses using Name Bench and input new DNS addresses under Setup/Internet/Manual.

I recommend using WPA2 and AES only, if not all of your devcies support AES use Mixed TPIK and AES.

Thanks again Fuzzy.  I suppose I should have left well enough alone.  After getting things going I'm getting anywhere from 6mbps down to 26.  I'll have more time this weekend to try the namebench DNS utility.

Thank you,
Jeff

I have a DIR-655 with an A2 H/W version. The security notice only mentions the A4 H/W version. Does this mean mine does not have an issue or is it H/W A4 and prior?

It applies to all Rev A# routers.
