In the changelog it says:
1. Fixed TSD#36830, DMZ and DDNS page SAVE functionality
2. Fixed TSD#36869

I assume #36830 was an issue with DMZ and DDNS page.
But what is #36869? Does anyone know?

I would have tested it however my router got shipped out for testing so I don't know yet. There are a couple of others that I think have loaded it. I'll ping them and have them post if they've got any results.

You could save router config, factory reset, load this beta, factory rest and set up from scratch and test. If your not happy, go back to B03 and load ur config file.  ;D

I have been running the 1.13B04 Beta for about four days now. No duplicate icons that I can see. I don't use DMZ or DDNS so I don't know if those problems are fixed. I haven't run across any other issues yet. The router has been really stable for me since going 1.13 with no random restarts.

Thank you for your feed back. Glad to hear some issues seem to be fixed.

The DMZ and DDNS, you can quickly check this by enabling DMZ and type in a LAN IP address to test. Select Save, It should save the setting. When selecting Save before, it would not save the setting and do nothing.

Also have you see this issue? If not we can presume it maybe fixed as well:
Receive a “413 - Request Entity Too Large” is displayed after logging into the router, making a change and selecting save settings. Users have to soft reboot the router to clear the message and continue to make any changes.

Is SB and ABE enabled and if so, did SB complete it's test run and report near or correct ISP speeds for your speed package? Please post the routers results and what your ISP Speeds should be UP and DOWN.

The PE_loop log entries are still there.

Receive a “413 - Request Entity Too Large” is displayed after logging into the router, making a change and selecting save settings. Users have to soft reboot the router to clear the message and continue to make any changes. I have had no problems with this. No 413 error. I have changed all kinds of settings from reserving IP address to wifi config to password changes and they all saved correctly.

Is SB and ABE enabled and if so, did SB complete it's test run and report near or correct ISP speeds for your speed package? Please post the routers results and what your ISP Speeds should be UP and DOWN. Yes both SB and ABE are enabled. I am on CableOne 50mb/3mb. ABE is reporting 52.27 mb up and 3.22 mb down however, it says it testing all the time. I also use opendns and see around 7000 request a day (in total) to the following speedtest address: speedtest.wtechlink.com, speedtest.pocketinet.com, speedtestnet1.eoni.com, boi-speedtest.syringanetworks.net and speedtest1.directcom.com. I have seen in the router logs that ABE uses speedtest.net (or at least the speedtest API) to measure bandwidth.  So I believe most of these are requests from the router. I don’t see any noticeable bandwidth loss from the ABE "testing". Netflix, gaming, VOIP etc.. all work as advertised with no lag and plenty of network activity going on. This is just something that I have noticed in the last few months. I have been meaning to turn off SB and ABE to see if those request are from the router or some other device. I will test it over the next few days. 

My speed test were fairly consistent and close to what I am suppose to get for speeds (50mb/3mb). I ran four test this morning and afternoon.

Awesome, thank you for the information and feed back.

Please let us now about those requests.

The only thing I think about SB not completing the test is that it hasn't had a chance to fully test uninterrupted while testing maybe. You might reboot the router right before bed and disconnect what you can from the router and come back in the morning and check the status.

Glad that the other problems seem to be fixed...

I went from 1.12B05 to 1.13B04.

ABE not working for me either and it was working on 1.12B05.  It now gets stuck on testing, and I suspect the down/up values that are used are merely the last successful ABE result or whatever was last manually inputted/interally speed tested and saved. 

wxstorm, do you think this is correct? Maybe you could change your values to round numbers, turn ABE back on and see if they change despite the neverending testing?  This should confirm whether or not its as I think it is.

On 1.12B05 I had no icons in the my network screen after a few days, just the internet and my router.  Hopefully this won't happen in 1.13B04.

Haven't done any gaming but web browsing was as responsive as before.  Seems okay so far.  No http errors (500, 413, etc.)

I would give time for SB to complete it's test run uninterrupted to see if it completes and says DONE. Leave it over night with just one wired PC connected and nothing else connected and see what you find in the morning.

mrjezza - I think the ABE speeds are probably a bit high based on all the testing I did today. I would get on average 44mb/2.75mb during the day with little traffic on my network. I turned off ABE and will be discounting everything from the router overnight to see if those speedtest request I was seeing on opendns were from the router. I will try entering in my own values next and see what happens. It is really hard to troubleshoot we all those "pe_loop: add_msg returned 0" in the log. There is usually entries when I reboot to say that ABE is testing the bandwidth but if I don't check it in the first 10 minutes its gone. I haven't seen any logs entries after that to say that ABE tests again. Not sure if there is suppose to be a log entry for each ABE test either. Maybe Furry knows. I will play around here and let you all know what I find.

I think there is log entries for each time SB kicks off a test. I don't know the specific behavior however I presume the once test starts and completes that should be it until the router is rebooted for some reason. I don't know if any testing is done after that on the routers own doing.  ???

So turned off ABE but left SB on last night through today. From midnight to 630am only one computer was connected to the router. There were no requests sent to any speedtest related site during that period. In fact not one request has been sent to any speedtest site today even with all my other devices turned on during the day. I also noticed that there were no requests sent to *.in-addr.arpa (which is a reverse dns lookup request according to OpenDNS). I would see on a daily basis anywhere from 350,000 to 13,000 request to that address when ABE is on. I honestly don’t know if that matters as much as the average 8,000 speedtest request a day but I figure I would share it. It appears the router with ABE on is sending http requests to speedtest.com. I will let it run for another day with ABE off before I manually set the speeds and turn ABE back on to see if they get updated. I wish I could know when the speedtest request are happening but OpenDNS doesn’t save the time of each requests (at least not in the free version). Only the number of requests. Let me know if there is something else you want me to try. 

Furry if you were asking me, I am using the Motorola SB6141 modem.

Awesome information. I'll pass this long to D-Link for review. This may be an issue if ABE is sending these kinds of requests. These requests maybe taking up user bandwidth usage as one has noted, seemed to use up a portion of his 15Gb allowance.  ::)

Thanks for sharing your observations. I presume for now, ABE may need to be disabled and manual ISP speed values used instead.

Dynamic DNS does allow you to save your settings now, but it doesn't actually connect to the service you specify.  The "Status" field is blank and does not say "connected".  Confirmed with my DynDNS provider and it does not show any updates to IP.

Was DDNS working before using this version of FW? If so, which version?

Just wanted to give my 2 cents about this FW as I usually don't flash beta OEM but usually go with 3rd party FWs for my routers and access points. I flashed this FW earlier today and everything seems nice and stable. I'm streaming 2 Netflix movies, have the kids downloading apps on their devices, daughter is watching YouTube, and my World of Warcraft ping increased by 6ms. This is 100% why I purchased this router is to do just this.

I have SB on and ABE off currently but wasn't having an issue with ABE when I turned it on this morning and left it on for a few hours. With SB off I ran a speed test and got speeds of 20 down and 12 up. I turned SB on and manually set the speeds to 20 down and 12 up to match and am getting 80%-85% of those speeds as I expected for QoS.

Coming from FW 1.12 b05, the My Networks > Priorities area is now working flawless for me. In FW 1.12 b05 it was overlapping each line so it was unreadable when in Safari.

With FW 1.12 b05 the Admin GUI kept slowing down after about 6 hours of up time and I would have to restart for it to become usable again. I am happy to say that is no longer the case with this FW. About 12 hours uptime now without any slowdown.

The PE_Loop log messages persisted. I unchecked 'System Activity' under Status > Logs to hide them.

Note: For reference I don't have a usual setup. I am using a TP-Link R470T+ to load balance 3 ISPs, TL-SL2210 for the home office, DGL-5500 for home internet, and a UniFi UAP-LR Access Point for those long range connections and to limit guests access with limited speeds. The UAP-LR and the DGL-5500 play very nice together with no issues.

TP-Link R470T+ --> DGL-5500 --> UAP-LR --> House
  |
TL-SL2210
  |
Office

Overall i'd say i'm extremely happy with this FW and it has made my DGL-5500 more stable. I was considering flashing OpenWRT however now I really don't see a need to as this FW fixed some of the annoyances I was experiencing in 1.12 b05.

Thank you for your feed back and experiences.

Curious, if you enable SB and ABE automatically, what does your ISP speeds reflect after enabling them?
Does the SB test complete for you?

I flashed this FW earlier today and everything seems nice and stable. I'm streaming 2 Netflix movies, have the kids downloading apps on their devices, daughter is watching YouTube, and my World of Warcraft ping increased by 6ms. This is 100% why I purchased this router is to do just this.

I have SB on and ABE off currently but wasn't having an issue with ABE when I turned it on this morning and left it on for a few hours. With SB off I ran a speed test and got speeds of 20 down and 12 up. I turned SB on and manually set the speeds to 20 down and 12 up to match and am getting 80%-85% of those speeds as I expected for QoS.

Coming from FW 1.12 b05, the My Networks > Priorities area is now working flawless for me. In FW 1.12 b05 it was overlapping each line so it was unreadable when in Safari.

With FW 1.12 b05 the Admin GUI kept slowing down after about 6 hours of up time and I would have to restart for it to become usable again. I am happy to say that is no longer the case with this FW. About 12 hours uptime now without any slowdown.

The PE_Loop log messages persisted. I unchecked 'System Activity' under Status > Logs to hide them.

Note: For reference I don't have a usual setup. I am using a TP-Link R470T+ to load balance 3 ISPs, TL-SL2210 for the home office, DGL-5500 for home internet, and a UniFi UAP-LR Access Point for those long range connections and to limit guests access with limited speeds. The UAP-LR and the DGL-5500 play very nice together with no issues.

TP-Link R470T+ --> DGL-5500 --> UAP-LR --> House

TL-SL2210

Office

Overall i'd say i'm extremely happy with this FW and it has made my DGL-5500 more stable. I was considering flashing OpenWRT however now I really don't see a need to as this FW fixed some of the annoyances I was experiencing in 1.12 b05.

  • What region are you located?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
  • What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?

Thank you for your feed back and experiences.

Curious, if you enable SB and ABE automatically, what does your ISP speeds reflect after enabling them?
Does the SB test complete for you?

I am located in a rural area in Colorado. The only ISPs I get in the area are WiMax, no DSL or Cable. The ISPs I use are;

Diverse Datum - WiMax - 30 Down / 30 Up
Kellin Communications - WiMax - 5 Down / 2 Up
Skybeam - WiMax - 20 Down / 4 Up

All 3 are plugged into my TP-Link R470T+ with speeds allocated to the DGL-5500 of 20 Down / 12 Up. The rest of the bandwidth is allocated to my home office.

I have SB & ABE on and the ABE Status is stuck at 'Testing'. It has not completed (read my note below). When doing a speed test with ABE on I am getting consistent speeds of 15 Down / 10 Up which is about 80% of allocated bandwidth.

With SB on and ABE off the 'Test Bandwidth' button works just fine. Manually entering in my speeds of 20 Down / 12 Up nets me 17 Down / 10 Up which is exactly 85% of the entered speeds.

NOTE: I am also monitoring bandwidth from the TP-Link R470T+ with an external monitor and am not showing ANY connections to any speed test sites with ABE on from the DGL-5500 nor am I seeing any notable bandwidth usage coming from the DGL-5500 itself other than the clients that are connected. So it seems as even though ABE is turned on and the status is 'Testing' it's actually not testing or doing anything.

Is there any QoS configurations enabled on the load balancing router or just load balancing is all thats going on? We can presume that any QoS or processing of QoS on that router may hinder some SB operations on the 5500 possibly. Sounds like it's working better than prior versions.

Thanks for the feed back.

On the TP-Link R470T+ 'Traffic Control' allows me to do manual QoS or, in my case, allocate a certain amount of bandwidth to certain devices. I have 20 Down / 12 Up allocated to the DGL-5500 with no QoS being done. It balances the 3 connections in a round robin style. A speed test from speedtest.net is a multithreaded test so it allows me to test my load balancing correctly and more accurately from the DGL-5500 as single-threaded test will only show me speeds from a single ISP. Anyways, thanks again for the FW as i'm very pleased with it!  ;D

There any more status or details on this?
When you were PFg, did you have uPnP enabled or disabled?
What is your Mfr and Model # of the ISP modem?

Was a factory reset performed, FW updated and Factory reset once more then set up from scratch?

Whom is your DDNS provide?
What Mfr and model # is your ISP Modem?

Was DDNS working before using this version of FW? If so, which version?


Dynamic DNS does allow you to save your settings now, but it doesn't actually connect to the service you specify.  The "Status" field is blank and does not say "connected".  Confirmed with my DynDNS provider and it does not show any updates to IP.

DynDNS hasn't worked for me on any of the 1.13 series beta FW.  It was working fine with 1.12B05 FW.  I use NoIP.com as the DynDNS provider.  I did a full factory reset and input all settings by scratch when updating, as I do with all FW updates.  Doesn't appear that Port Forwarding is working either.  I am going to do another factory reset and try again.

This version of firmware is the best for me, so far, thanks for that.

I am wondering if/when we will get proper classification of data.  Xbox one does not get classified (I think it gets classified as bittorrent), call of duty comes up when I am playing a different game all together.  Watching an Amazon video it gets classified as both Amazon video AND web video, not sure that is necessary. Also, gets classified at "Best fit" even when the device it is playing on has been listed as top priority.

If the prioritization of devices does not mean anything, I would like to have the ability to prioritize protocols or applications myself.  I don't know if that is possible, but I thought I would throw that out there.

My router has actually been up for 8 days and I have not seen any other issues.

Thanks guys,

Played Destiny on the Xbox One last night.  Comes up bittorrent AND for some reason CoD comes up.  I do not use any kind of torrent and what you see above was what is recorded just from my xbox.
Not asking for Destiny to be labeled, just asking for xbox to be labeled properly, if possible.  The way it is currently, it makes me think that the gaming aspect is being incorrectly prioritized because it is labeled as a torrent.

I had the same issue.  I also had a lot of "Noah's Ark" errors as well.  The game became much more stable when I disabled SB.
One of the other problems I had involved the priorities randomly changing themselves after awhile.  This error is hard to pinpoint but seems to happen after a couple hours of runtime.  I have no idea what is causing it and it is just easier at this point to shut off SB.  Something tells me it is just a freak thing and will be ironed out when the official comes out.
Other than that the firmware is solid.  Pretty darn spiffy for a beta.  Can't wait for the real deal.

Factory reset before and after firmware update but settings were restored from save file

I thought it worked pretty well before the updates.  I think it was 1.01 when I got it.

Charter Cable
Arris TM822A
DHCP
Advertised 60/4 and it's roughly 51/3.5 with SB on ABE off and about 65.5/4.5 with SB off.

If you go to http://help.bungie.net/ you'll see that they use the names of animals to classify networking errors.  They're referred to as Noah's Ark errors if you get multiple different animals in one day/session.  I did not take notes as to the specifics of the errors since turning off SB fixed the issue but the notes I remember reading referred to possible ISP routing issues because of high traffic and/or possible router firewall issues.  All I know is I've cut down on Destiny network errors dramatically since turning off SB.

Is there any difference between the official release and the beta release?

Have you tried going back to v1.01 to see if there is any differences?

What happens with SB and ABE enabled on v1.13?

The only differences I think between Beta and Officially Released FW is that Release has gone thru there test labs, where Beta has not or is about to and is made available to forum users if they choose to help test it out and give feed back.

I'm sorry but that is not an option.  I'm sure the hardware itself is ok considering the significant drop in errors with SB disabled.

VERY apprehensive to try this considering the amount of errors with the 1.13B04 beta.  I wish that Qualcom would indicate whether or not it has made updates to SB or not when I access the router.  Once I get some sort of confirmation on an update to SB I will give this a shot.

Well as a test you can enable SB and ABE for a while and test to see what you find out. Then disable SB and ABE afterwards.

We don't know what QC does and will do. You could attempt to contact QC directly to see if they have any information regarding this particular problem and see if they can give you any help.

The more they know the more they are apt to do something. We need to be proactive in helping D-Link and QC in any final problems so that they can correct them before any and all development stops and D-Link moves on to other things. I know that QC should be supporting Sb updates till 2017 from what is displayed on the router. After that, I don't know what will happen. Over all, I agree that it's not been a great ride for everyone, including D-Link. We all had high hopes for a great follow on to the 4500, and everyone already knows, the 5500 may not not quite lived up to expectations on certain levels. It's been a crazy ride.

Bungie has pushed a new update for Destiny.  The details are at https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=12607.  It says in the notes:

•Improved networking resilience to packet reordering
•Networking improvements for certain routers

Does that mean 5500?  Does that mean the traffic will now be properly identified?  Who can say.  I don't even think D-Link themselves could get any answers from those guys considering how tight lipped they are and there penchant for keeping secrets.  This does, however, give me a good reason to try SB again.  I will do another flash on the firmware using the 5500 method just to be safe.  I must decline on the ABE, though.

Let us know how it goes. I presume anything that Bungie does only effects there games and may not effect SB or anything related unless Bungie and QC have development ties.

Please test with ABE enabled first then disable it after testing and compare notes. Let us know it goes.

Skipped ABE and manually entered advertised speeds considering I average over 10% above those speeds.  (Sorry, Furry, ABE is just not going to happen here!)  Stability was just as good with SB as without.  There were some issues but there were way too many variables to blame SB.  My speedtests were going to Chicago instead of to Atlanta which led me to believe that inclement weather was a factor.  I was also experiencing a little over 1% packet loss.  Combined with the extra resets and firmware flashes it's very hard to nail down the source of the improvements.  I also did a modem reset as well.  Pretty much the entire laundry list of troubleshooting.  I even checked the connections to make sure nothing was wrong there either.  I can only guess that the recent patch(es) to Destiny changed the packets coming in and SB was able to better identify the traffic coming in to route it properly.  I still get bittorrent traffic when I check the activity log as well as COD traffic.  The majority of the traffic identified was game followed by web then bittorrent.  Maybe XBone has some sort of peer to peer traffic?  Who knows.

Overall I hope D-Link and Qualcom continue to work together to improve the 5500 and SB in particular.  It really sucks being an early adopter of D-Link's gaming routers considering how shoddy the firmware is initially but there is no denying that once they work through the initial bugs and kinks that these routers are very solid.

Is this still an issue for you?  ???

As you can see in the graphic the "Status" line is blank and usually reads "Connected" or "Disconnected"


Could you please post a picture of what your seeing?  ???


I have used IE, FF, and Chrome and they all show the same on the Dynamic DNS "Status" line as blank

Ok, what browser are you using to manage the router?

Is XB1 still be mis-categorized for you? ???

Hard to tell, but the color is yellow for best fit on the amazon videos and there are 2 entries for it.

Played Destiny on the Xbox One last night.  Comes up bittorrent AND for some reason CoD comes up.  I do not use any kind of torrent and what you see above was what is recorded just from my xbox.
Not asking for Destiny to be labeled, just asking for xbox to be labeled properly, if possible.  The way it is currently, it makes me think that the gaming aspect is being incorrectly prioritized because it is labeled as a torrent.

Could you post some pics of what your seeing regarding classification for examples?

Glad this version is working well. Seems to be getting there. Hope for one or two more good releases.  ::)

This version of firmware is the best for me, so far, thanks for that.

I am wondering if/when we will get proper classification of data.  Xbox one does not get classified (I think it gets classified as bittorrent), call of duty comes up when I am playing a different game all together.  Watching an Amazon video it gets classified as both Amazon video AND web video, not sure that is necessary. Also, gets classified at "Best fit" even when the device it is playing on has been listed as top priority.

If the prioritization of devices does not mean anything, I would like to have the ability to prioritize protocols or applications myself.  I don't know if that is possible, but I thought I would throw that out there.

My router has actually been up for 8 days and I have not seen any other issues.

Thanks guys,
DJ

Yes, as well as Destiny.  I tried to reach out to Qualcomm about it and did not get a response back.  I fear they have given up, and combine that with your thought of end of dev life for the 5500, I feel that it is a lost cause anyway.  D-Link stabilized a lot of things in the last update, so we can be happy for that.

Thanks,
DJ

Thanks. I plan on putting my 5500 back online this weekend and check on the last few items myself. If there is anything else major, lets find out and i'll bring it to D-Links attention before they officially close on it.

Have a good weekend.

Ok, 5500 back online. Apparently v1.13 B04 doesn't like a saved config from v1.13 B02. I loaded FW and then loaded the saved config file to see if I could by pass setting up from scratch. I could not gain access to the routers web page at all. Router status seemed fine. Power and Internet globes were all green. Just no access to UI. So I factory reset and set up from scratch.  ::) Left it alone and went to dinner. Came back later and SB and ABE completed it's test. The down was about 4Mb from spec. Up was spot on. I set up the IPs and such. Set up the 360 and set it as a priority 1. I gamed for a few hours last nite. Gaming was good.

My DIR-865L and 868L are bridged to the 5Ghz radio and working well from where they are placed at so far. Only other issue i had was reserving the specific IP address I normally use for my Mac Book Pro wireless. I saved the setting and reset the adapter on the Mac to clear out the previously assigned IP address, then it would try to connect and say theres a conflict for the IP address. So I picked a different address. The wired connection saved just fine for what I picked for it. I noticed there was two listing for the Mac Book Pro, one MAC was the wireless and the other listing was for the same item however the MAC address was all zeros.  ???

Other than the saved config file from previous verion and the one conflict in IP address, router seems to be running well. I'll check out the last known bugs listed.
