Let us know how it works for you.

[elkido123]

so what have you discovered

[FurryNutz]

Haven't had time to check it out. I have it loaded. I'll try after work today.

Able to install 1.07 beta with my Asian unit and successfully upgraded my firmware.  QOS setting can now save the changes I made however at the connected client's DHCP reservation, I'm always getting an error "maximum number of DHCP reservation has exceeded".  I hope that it would indicate the maximum number or still accommodate as many as the other lower DIR units can register.  I'll continue its operation and report if there are other improvements or issues encountered.

[FurryNutz]

How many reservations did you enable before the message appeared?

I was able to make 20 reservations in previous version (v1.04?).  The rest were shown as Unknown.  At present, there are 18 active connections but cannot register one of these "Unknown" devices which is an IP camera with fixed IP address.  Didn't "factory reset" it and my previous settings are retained.

[FurryNutz]

There's no need to use reservations ON the router for devices that have static IP addresses On the devices. Just leave them be on the router. I do the same thing for my camera and thermostats and printers on my network. There all static on each one. They do show up on the routers connected list and when I had v1.06 loaded I could edit the name from unknown to what the device is and save the name change.

[nettewurk]

No problem on static IP address devices but its hostname indicates unknown.  Moreso on those devices with dynamically assigned IP, I would like to register its hostname-Mac address so that I could easily distinguish which devices are connected, specially those Android device with cryptic names.

[FurryNutz]

So leaving the reservation disabled on the router, can you edit the name from unknown to something else then save the change?

[FurryNutz]

Ok so I have mine up and running on v1.07. Looking good. I am able to configure QoS and after selecting Save, it's giving me the 80 sec reboot pop up and the settings are persistent after the reboot. Finally fixed it would appear. 

[FurryNutz]

Well I think all is ok accept for Smart Connect. I'm seeing different SSID names when it's enabled when I should see only 1 single SSID name. So leaving SC disabled for now.
QoS seems to be configurable now and settings persist.
I'm able to save about 16 reservations. I'll try and set more to see where the limit is.
I also see that a VLAN feature was added under internet.
Also there is a AutoReboot feature added too to reboot the router on a preset  schedule.
Wifi connection icons are now appearing on the connected devices icon box. However detection seems off as some of the mobile or wifi devices still reports a desktop PC instead of the wifi icon.

How do you totally disable the DHCP reservation? As in delete all the registered devices one by one. Already tried to delete 8 out of the connected/displayed 22 devices but still unable to reserve one.

[FurryNutz]

Open the devices icon and slide the Enable Reservation slider button to the left to disable it.

I have only seen this happened if you have another device in AP mode... since the connection to the main router is arriving through the LAN connection to that device.  How exactly is your device showing the incorrect icon connecting to the network? Directly to the SSID of the DIR-880L or using another device in AP mode.

[FurryNutz]

Ok, I'll check on where devices are connecting to. I'll turn off the 2ndary AP wifi. I did forget about that. Thank you. 
SC seems to be not working though. I may factory reset and reload FW once more and try again.
