I have been having problems over the past year with the DIR-655. I was one of the first to get the router when it came out so mine is getting old. I am using it behind my Uverse as an access point. It will reboot at times and also slow down the internet. Just recently it would not allow any clients to connect. I just disconnected it and am using the Uverse wap for now. I really think my issues stem from some type of overheating or component degredation issue. Not sure to be exact. I am going to contact D-Link to see what they can do. If not it's going to the block on eBay. It's too bad...this was a very nice router when it came out. I can't imagine what is wrong with it now.

It may be a heat issue. I used to have the same problem. I just bought a laptop cooler,which is basically just a pad with a couple of fans, and since then I haven't had any issues. Actually, the cooler is big enough to have both my dsl modem and the router lying flat... So there's one fan under each unit. FYI, it's USB powered.

Mine sits on top of a desk, vertical.
I cannot see heat as an issue for me, based on my setup

OK update.

Updated to 1.34NA. I see it and everyhting was good.
I was reading the forums and went back to check my settings.
SecureSpot was still checked.
I have unchecked it on Friday and have not had a single hiccup ALL weekend.
This hasn't happened in months.
So, I guess I'm keepin the dir-655 for now. On with the testing.

Update.
OK, its been about a week now and no problems.
I did have no internet on Monday, but, the actual cable was out (lightning).
I can't blame the router for that one....
Still testing....

Update,
OK, no problems!

I have to admit, NOW, I'm happy with it.
Testing done. I seem to have fixed my problem. Thankee, thankee.

Recap of what I did:
1. Default router.
2. Upgrade to v1.34NA.
3. set up for 300 Mps (see sticky)
4. Turn off Daylight Savings. Set time manually.
5. Turn off SecureSpot.
