Unless you really need the extra languages the only possible extra item could be 3G support on the EU version. So if your English is OK and you do not need 3G you can use the NA version .

OTOH, if he installs it and finds out it does not work for him because of something he overlooked, then he's pretty much stuck with a pet rock instead of a router, no?

Ah, the joys of non-reversible firmware installation ...

If it were me, I'd wait. And ***** ... err, complain? (who knew that a common name for a female dog would be on the banned list?).

I'm in Europe and have never loaded any other firmware than NA versions. There is only one global hardware device (with revisions). Don't let them scare you.

Only precaution (not EU/NA version related): downgrading is not possible when you upgrade to firmware version 1.3x. So beware...

Moving on......if you believe that the firmware is causing your unit to fail, contact technical support, request that they assist you with your issue, and if not resolved request a replacement unit. You can even go as far as to request a unit with 1.21 if you like.

I'm glad I came to the forum and found this, I have been running great since last october and the last I had before 1.31 was 1.21 and I was getting 16mb down wireless and wired, went to 1.31 and could not get above 4mb wireless, signal fluctuating bad.  Tried all kinda of settings, nothing.  I went to 1.32 beta and even worse.  I had to pull the router.  I have been a member of dslreports since 01, went there first and found a bunch of people that had to pull theirs after upgrading.  If dlink wants to deny there's a problem, fine just give me a replacement with 1.21 and I'll be happy fixing the "non" problem.

It seems that there was a lot of info put out since the 1.31 with the 2 betas that followed; however, now it seems as though we have been forgotten after spending $100-$130 for this router. What are we to do? Will there ever be a firmware update released to fix this issue?  Very many folks are upset about this and yes, the easy answer is to just buy another router. Why should we have to? What about exchanges or refunds for those of us (many) that are affected?

Try these settings for the beacon period, rts threshold and fragmentation threshold, the rest are what I use and have always used.  I'm not getting 300, but 130, where I got 300 before, but my speed has camu up some and the signal more stable.  I still wish I could go back to 1.21, it was much better.
