I went back to the previous firmware (1.09.14) 

All seems to be working like it did before.  It's too bad the latest firmware release is causing issues with WIFI connectivity.  I really like the new /added features.  It seems when D'Link fixes one or more issues, NEW issues pop up.  Still a solid "ruuter" though, IMO.  Hopefully D'Link will iron out these latest issues, and DROP THE DHCP RESERVATION LIMIT!!

I also went back to 1.09b14....time will tell...

No problems as of yet.  I would have definitely had one by now.

All is good since reverting back to previous firmware (1.09.14). No issues with devices dropping from wifi. I sure wish the latest firmware wasn't causing the issues we are seeing. I really like the newly added features of the latest firmware release 👍😀👍

Same issues here. 1.10 causes frequent disconnects with every WIFI device. I installed and did a factory reset. Flashed back to 1.09 and i'm issue free again. There is definitely a problem within 1.10.

Would one of you try the following and load v1.10 again and test?
Emergency Recovery Mode
Please test with SC enabled and then SC disabled. Please post results of both. Include any speed test screen captures please.


I'll post this information in the bug list and get it to D-Link for review.

Thank you.

Also  went back to the previous firmware (1.09.14). It did solve my problems with my iPhone6s (x2) and iPad.

Thanks for the feed back. Did you have SC enabled or disabled when you were using v1.10?

As I posted no disconnects with SC off... Turn it on and once at a distance the disconnects start.

Thanks, will add this to the list. Sent this to D-Link for review. Please be patient.

I'll recommend that if users are having issues on v1.10, revert back to v1.09.

What iOS versions are currently loaded on the iPhones and iPads?

I'm seeing the same issues on FOUR iPhones and THREE iPads. It seems that any distance away from the 890L with SC enabled will cause the wifi signal to drop and the devices switch to cellular or no connection. All devices prior to being disconnected have a FULL / STRONG WIFI SIGNAL.  No issues w/ previous firmware. This doesn't seem to be a problem on the iMac, MacBook Pro Retina, or MacBook Air.  Perhaps an issue w/ devices running iOS and not OS X???   Might need to go back to previous firmware as this is not acceptable. 

I'm also noticing issues when running speed tests on the iOS devices (iPhones / iPads).  It seems I'm only getting 30% - 45% of my subscribed ISP speeds (100 down / 5 up).  As the speed test is running, the speeds decrease as the test nears it's completion for DOWNLOAD only.  Upload appears to be fine.

I'm wondering if the issue might be one of the 5GHz radios (Primary), as speed tests run on an OS X device (iMac / MacBook Pro Retina / MacBook Air) are 100 down / 5 up on the 5GHz Secondary radio.

I was really hoping this latest firmware update wouldn't cause issues.  I remember the same type of issue w/ the DGL-5500 where a newer firmware update was actually MUCH WORSE than the previous firmware.  Hopefully D'LINK can look into these issues we're experiencing with the 890L sooner than later 

[FurryNutz]

TOO ANY 890L users with a bit of time. Were looking to collect the following for your configuration, ISP modem Mfr and Model, ISP service UP and Down speeds, wireless Mfr and OS loaded and v1.10 needs to be loaded and set up, then a save configuration to file collected. You can use random SSID names and no PWs before you save to file. D-Link is looking into these issues with v1.10 and would like to gather this information which will help them review and test and should help them resolve this issue. Any and all information gathered is kept confidential and only with in D-Link support. Please send me a PM and let me know if you can help with this. I'll have a special link to upload the files and information needed. I recommend using .ZIP to zip up the config file and use Word or Word pad or a simple test program to generate the other system configuration data.

Thank you.

Would you guys happen to see this "disconnected" when it would fail to go to the internet?

 I never saw it when the issue with my devices happend.

(I only saw it tonight when the webpage timed out and I was forcibly disconnected (silently)).

Just an update - I went back to 1.10 and sent files as requested.

I did some more testing - My wired laptop was working.. Samsung phone had issues, wireless 5Ghz laptop with issues (but some how self corrected one time).

I disabled smartconnect for my overnight test.

I was having wifi disconnect problems with SC ENABLED and DISABLED
