SC seems to be not working though. I may factory reset and reload FW once more and try again.

What function of SC is NOT working for you? It is doing just fine with 1.07_Beta on my test lab for now.

[FurryNutz]

I'm seeing two SSIDs instead of one. I have the 2.4Ghz and the 5Ghz being listed on my phone and Mac Book. This seems odd as initially i experienced bad connections in betting my iphone and macbook pro connected after I enabled SC after I first loaded v1.07. Each device would connect for a few seconds then kick out and switch to my other AP. I then factory reset and set up from scratch again thinking my initial config was bad. After setting up again and leaving SC disabled, wireless has been fine. I checked yesterday after getting home from work and SC was enabled and both iPhone and Mac showed two SSID names. I disabled SC last nite. I had been using v1.06 for the short time before v1.07 came out and SC was enabled on that version and only saw one SSID name in the available wifi lists.
When SC is enabled im seeing Airport Extreme and Airport Extreme 5Ghz in the list on v1.07. I presume I should only be seeing Airport Extreme.

Ok we are good on WiFi icons. I turned off the 2ndary AP and now I see wifi icons correctly for my devices.

Is there some reason 1.07 Beta and 1.06WW were not posted on the USA site http://support.dlink.com/ProductInfo.aspx?m=DIR-880L

Last USA version was 1.05B02.  Are these both US compatible?

[FurryNutz]

Yes, all versions are compatible.

[drshock]

The QOS is finally fixed, I also was able to input and save download/upload values correctly.
 
However the DHCP reservations has regressed somewhere between 1.05B01 and 1.07 Beta.   I had only 4 reservations I made in 1.05B01.  I upgraded to 1.05B02 some time back.  And then to 1.06 and ran for about a week with no new issues recently.   An straight upgrade to 1.07 Beta (no regular user is going to factory reset every time) today and any attempt to add another reservation causes a popup "The maximum number of permitted DHCP reservations has been exceeded" error.
 
Also any attempt to change an "Unknown" hostname, such as on most IP cameras, results in the same exact error message popup.
 
Of the four that were reserved on 1.06, I can go and unreserve them and re-reserve them just fine.  But I cannot unreserve them and reserve a different device.  Some previous firmware bug has irrecoverably gotten the max count stuck at 4.   I am sure a factory reset would clear this and I will give that a go,  but since regular users are not going to do that reset this should be looked into to save a support call.

I can confirm a factory reset fixes the previous DHCP reservations upgrade bug.   Here are additional regressions/bugs though with 1.07 Beta that are not corrected by a reset.

- Click Home, Click the Internet Circle, Click IPv6.   All of the IPv6 information is missing (SLAAC/DHCPV6 configuration here).  But IPv6 is working fine.
- Click Home, Click Connected Clients.  Click the + tile.  It should say "Add Client" but it says "Add Rule"
- Same Connected Clients screen, intermittently, depending on the client count tile layout, there will be two + tiles shown.
- Hover Settings, Click Internet, Click IPv6, Click Advanced.  Now try and go anywhere else in the menu and you get an error popup "There is unsaved data on this page. Do you want to abandon it?" but you didn't edit anything.


Also, I noted a new undocumented feature under Management->System Admin->System to do an auto reboot of the router on a fixed schedule.

[FurryNutz]

I did a reset, fw load, reset then set up from scratch.

I don't use IPv6 however mines says Auto Config, disconnected and Not Avail for all IP addresses on the right. I use Local Connection only.

Auto reboot was found in v1.06. We see VLAN on the Internet side now as well.

[FurryNutz]

I factory reset the 880L, walked the set up wizard, changed only the wifi PWs for each radio, check SSIDs on a iPhone 6P and a Mac Book Pro and both SSIDs are listed. I then enabled Smart Connect and saved settings and rebooted the router fully. Check SSIDs names again and still see two SSID names instead of one. Anyone else confirm this when SC enabled?

I used Windows 7x64 and IE11.

Setting QoS to 4 and 120 seems to be doing ok:

a few other bugs after using 1.07B this week:

- I have 32 connected clients, but only 27 cards ever show up.   The clients have IPs and are working fine, the problem is the cards.
- When you are viewing the connected client cards, after the first refresh flicker the IPv6 addresses get cleared out.   The clients are working fine on IPv6 and when you initially load the view you see the IPv6 addresses on the cards.   Then it flickers away never to return.
- When you are working with connected client cards, perhaps reserving IPs or editing hostnames, the admin login timeout will kick in.   This should not happen.

[FurryNutz]

Are you referring to the icons appearing on the Clients list? So far I see all of my connected client icons however some do appear grayed out if they are not connected.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure to forward this on to D-Link.

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.

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.

How will you know at the client list which one is reserved without checking each device? Is there a bulk selection to disable these reserved IPs? Or I have to check them all, one by one?

[FurryNutz]

One by one.

Just checking all my DIR-880L setting recently and I noticed that the DDNS is in disconnected status.  I've checked the dlinkddns.com website and the date last modified is before I upgraded to 1.07 beta.  Did someone encounter this kind of problem?  Or is this just isolated problem of mine?  Tried rebooting the PPPOE connection DIR-880L many times but still can't connect to dlinkddns.com
