Get it here:
DIR-655 Rev B v2.10NA (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?board=113.0)

Let us know how it works for you.


Please try, test and use the router out of the box with the version that comes loaded on it first. All routers are tested before leaving the Mfr and do work well out of the box. There many external conditions or configurations that should be reviewed first if problems are found before considering updating FW. Come to the D-Link Forums and get help before upgrading firmware.

Update: 2/2013
The Canadian DLink web site had a beta version that is officially posted. It seems to fix and resolve the wireless Guest Zone issue. It can be used on NA units as well. It seems to have been removed.  ???

Will keep you posted on where and when it might be officially posted again.

Please let us know how it works for you.

NOTICE: Might be an issue with Guest Zone and v2.10NA. I have verified what one other user is seeing with an iPhone 4 disconnecting frequently. I can't get a Mac Book Pro to connect and my iPhone 4S exhibits the same thing. I would recommend holding off using v2.10NA until we get more information on this. v2.03 and v2.07 work well and do not exhibit this.

If anyone else notices this behavior, Please post here:

 >:(  I installed Firmware Vers 2.10 on 26 Nov on my DIR 655.    I have a wifi network (3 users), plus my PC, NAS drive, and SONOS music system cabled to the router.   I also use the mac address network filter for the wifi.  I am just an average user for knowledge and capability.   This update caused a lot of problems (my PC at times could not access the internet) (my NAS drive was not on the network) (SONOS system had no access to the internet, the controller,  or the controller on our pc's).   After a week of experimenting (and D-LInk's help was to do a router reset and reinstall -  I did this 3 times to no avail).   I finally turned off the network filter,  and it appears my problems have gone away (at least for the last 5 days).   I would advise no one to upgrade to Vers 2.10 until D-Link has corrected their firmware.    Has anyone else had this problem.

You can down grade to v2.07 or v2.03. This newer version v2.10 is not recommended at this time. Was there a reason to upgrade to v2.10? What FW version was previously loaded on it? Did you perform a factory reset before and after updating to v2.10?

I have forwarded this onto DLink for review. Please downgrade to one of the other versions mentioned. Let us know if you need help. Please follow this:

FN -  Thanks for the reply and info.   In answer to your questions,  I did the firmware upgrade after I saw it on the router pages.   I was checking some of my settings and saw it then.  I did not see anything which said to not do an update(must not have looked thoroughly).   I was on vers 2.00 before.   I did not save that software, and now that was probably a mistake.    The router reset automatically per the instructions.  As I said prior,  I did several additional resets per D-Link's suggestions. 
If you have suggestions on how I get back to vers 7, that would help me.   I have actually been operating okay on vers 2.10 for 10 days now (with the network filter turned off).   Do you have other suggestions?
This is the first time I have ever posted on a forum.  I noticed you have a special category.   Can you give me an explanation.   Thanks.

Users have seen some problems which I have verified as well with Guest Zone not working correctly with some devices.

I would download the v2.07 or v2.03 version from the main web page. Unpack the .bin file from the .zip file that was downloaded. Do a factory reset using the routers web page under Tools/System. Upload the .bin file that was unpacked from the .zip file and apply the file. After the file loads and the router reboots, log back into the router and do one more factory reset. After the reset you should be good to go to configure the router.

I also upgraded  :-[ to the new 2.10 firmware. I am also having a problem with the guest zone no longer working. All manner of configuration changes are of no help. The main zone works fine.

It is now time to downgrade to the 2.07 version of the firmware. D-Link definitely has a problem with the 2.10 version of the firmware. It was not tested adequately and never should have been released. For an otherwise good product this does nothing but leave a significant black mark.

I upgraded because the release comments indicated working better with IOS 6 devices. Only if you are not using the guest zone. Using the guest zone IOS 6 devices work like others on the guest zone. None of them work.

I finally had time to go back and remove version 2.10 and install 2.07, as you suggested.   After getting 2.07 installed and resetting the router,  I put my network mac addresses in the network filter and turned it on.   MY wife's pc could not access the network and our SONOS music system (cabled directly to the router) also could not access the network.  I have my NAS drive powered down, and did not try it.   I then went back into the router and turned off the mac address network filter.   After saving the changes,  my wife's pc had access to the network and our SONOS music system also had access.  My conclusion is that version 2.07 had the same problem as 2.10.  In looking back at my notes when the filter was working,  I was on version 2.00.   If you have additional suggestions,  please let me know.

You might want to keep PCs out of the Mac Filter for now unless you have a major concern of other devices being on your network. If there isn't a big concern here, I would not use Mac Filtering as normally it's not used. I'm also wondering if it had been working on v2.00, it could have been a security hole they fixed and when using Mac Filtering is supposed to block areas on the network. Just a though here. I'll see if I can reproduce this on my 655 and see what happens.

Can you detail me on how your setting up the filters? Each stop and settings are you using?

Hopefully I am giving yoiu what you need.   The only filter I activated is under the Advanced Tab, Network  Filter  (Mac Filteirng Rules).  I put my pc's LAN address (although not needed I presume), our notebook's address, my wife's pc address, and my Nook's address.   The last three are on the home network.  I do nothing with the Guest Zone,  IPV6 (or associated firwall).   I did notice when checking these,  that my date and time were incorrect (showing Jan, 2012).   If that can have any effect on the firmware operation,  this date has probably been incorrect for several months.

Have you also tried to put the SONOs device(s) in the Filter as well? I wonder if things that are being filtered need to include ALL devices. I'll check on this if I can get a chance too. I'm currently testing a DIR-865L out. I'll try this here first and see if I can connect to my File Server that houses things.

For time, I always get a NTP time server so that during any reboot, the router should get correct time from the internet.

FN -  Thanks for the quick reply.  When on vers 2.00,  I did have the SONOS components in the network filter (and the NAS drive).   I had no problems.   When I upgraded to 2.10,  I also tried the network filter with these components in the filter;  and had the problems (with or without them in the filter).  I should add that the NAS drive is cabled directly to the router.   Am I correct,  that the NAS mac address then does not need to be in the network filter?   The SONOS music system is on its own network, but cabled to the router from the SONOS bridge.   Am I also correct,  that the SONOS then does not need to be in the network filter?

I would not use any Mac Filtering at the moment. Need narrow down what is going on.

One thing I would highly recommend that would help great to gain access to networked devices and eliminating any router process or interferences, get you a external Gb network switch. This will help in getting your LAN devices connected well and gain a better access experience to them and between devices. Even using a switch, you can still use the router to get internet and manage things like IP addressing and filters, however any possibilities of router interferences should be reduced.

Same issue on upgrade to 2.10NA.

One of my customers upgraded for no reason and found no issue.  So I felt need to upgrade, with hopeful fix of IOS6.

My guest network was bouncing unreliable.

So I backed out to 2.07 and everything was working for a few days. 

However, recently encrypted connections are being dropped VPN/https.  Nothing in the status logs about it.

I just reloaded my config.bin from prior to upgrade in the hopes it fixes the issue.  I found no difference in the configuration settings: 2.07, 2.10NA and now 2.07.

Do we have a fix date for the 2.10NA software?

I put my 655 back on-line last night. Loaded v2.10NA on it and it's up and running. My ISP doesn't support IPv6 currently do I can't test that out, yet. Manual DNS address entries are used and DNS Relay is OFF. All devices are Reserved IP addresses, NAT is Endpoint Independent. SPI, Traffic Shaping and QoS is ON. Automatic Uplink is manually set for 2048 for my ISP. Dynamic De-fragmentation, WISH, WPS, and Short GI is OFF. WAN Link speed is set to 1000Mb since my ISP Modem supports it. If someone wants me to check and verify something, let me know, Other than IPv6 and Guest Zone.

Does your ISP Service and ISP Modem support IPv6 via PPPoE? I wonder if maybe you should see if DHCP works instead. No sure if it would help.

If your looking to use IPv6 and if everything is set up and supported on the ISP side and the DIR-655 isn't working, I recommend you phone contact DLink support, level 2 or higher.

Keep us posted.

Yes my ISP support IPv6() PPPoE, My connection Type is through FTTB (GPON). Directly on WINDOWS 7 work well. through DIR-655 2.10NA work for 1 minute :(  after rebooting. I attempted v2.06WW  from ftp.dlink.biz  exhibit the same thing.

I tested my connection type on DIR-825 and work great!

(Dual-stack (or native dual-stack) refers to side-by-side implementation of IPv4 and IPv6. That is, both protocols run on the same network infrastructure, and there's no need to encapsulate IPv6 inside IPv4 (using tunneling) or vice-versa) - sorry for explain.

So wanted to see what the wireless file xfer speeds between 2 clients where on the same network.
Using a Mac Book Pro with OSX 10.6.8 connected wirelessly @ 130Mb on 2.4Ghz Single Mode N using WPA2 and AES only Auto20/40Mhz, Same room 5ft from router to the DIR-655 B1 using v2.10 FW and xfering a 1.27Gb file from a Wired LAN PC loaded with Windows 7x64:
Download from Server to Mac: 4.5-6.5Mb taking 5 minutes.
Upload from Mac to Server: A more steady 5.9-6Mb taking 4.5 minutes.

I presume Windows should be near or close to these same values reported depending on PC, What all is loaded and WiFi device driver and configurations.

I just wanted to let you know that after I switched to 2.10NA I had problem with the internet. I would try to go to a web page and receive 'Cannot access web page'. After you hit the diagnostic tab it would do its check and come back as everything is fine. Then you could access the web page. I was having problems on all the PC's and laptops in the house. The computers are running Win 7 x64, Vista x64, Win 8 Pro x64, Ubuntu x86, and Mint Cinnamon x64.

After switching to 2.10NA, the iPad would finally stay connected to the router. But my daughters started having problems with their iPhone 4S staying connected. I tried switching to 2.10NA because the iPad would never stay connected. Sometimes it would stay connected for a couple minutes and at other times a couple sec. I was running 2.00 firmware before.

I just switched back to 2.07NA to give it a try because I found this forum.  If I should experience any more problems I will leave some feedback.

Hi there!
Recently updated to 2.10NA Rev.B.
Have been seeing a lot of problems.  I'm having major internet slows, 10-15 second disconnects etc.
At first I thought it was the provider so I bypassed the router and used the crappy Cable modem directly and had no issues.

Did A FULL Factory reset, wipe clean, re-configured and still seeing major intermittent issues:

The issues are around: Dropped packets and the /rootDesc.xml not found, responding ERROR 404
The IPV6 is enabled Local only.
I disabled Advanced DNS
I even set the UDP and TCP firewall settings to Endpoint independent (very uncomfortable with this but desperate).
QoS is disabled.


There are about 30-40 dropped packets when I notice slow downs (skype calls especially).

hat ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?
Is this wired or wireless to the router? Or both?

I recommend going back to v2.03 or v2.07 and see if the problem follows or not.
If you downgrade, do a factory reset first, then send the .bin file, then after the router is back to ready, do one more factory reset and configure from scratch.

What was loaded on the router before upgrading to v2.10?

I ran my 655 loaded w v2.10 last week and I don't see these problems. However I don't have the same modem either. I recommend trying a different ISP modem if possible.

Some things to try: - Log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1. Use IE, Opera or FF to manage the router.
Turn off ALL QoS (http://vonage.nmhoy.net/qos.html) or Disable Traffic Shaping (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options. Advanced/QoS or Gamefuel.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
If IPv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only or Disable IPv6 options under Setup/IPv6.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking. Disable uPnP for testing Port Forwarding rules.
WAN Port Speed set to Auto or specific speed? Some newer ISP modems support 1000Mb so manually setting to Gb speeds can be supported by the router. Advanced/Advanced Networking/WAN Port Speed
Set current Time Zone, Date and Time. Use an NTP server feature. Tools/Time.
 
Link>Wireless Installation Considerations (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48327.0)
What wireless modes are you using? Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
Try setting a manual channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear.
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto.
What wireless devices do you have connected?
Any cordless house phones?
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use InSSIDer (http://www.metageek.net/) to find out. How many?
Turn off WISH, and WPS under Advanced.
Try turning off Short GI, WLAN Partition,and Extra Wireless Protection if you have it. Under Advanced/Advanced Wireless.
Enable WMM Enable (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=50738.0) Under Advanced/Advanced Wireless.

Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
Turn off all devices accept for one wired PC while testing.

Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link> Cat6 is recommended. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6)

Lol Ok.
So the recommendation is spend a ton of money on new equipment and rewire your house :)

Is there a developer forum where we can look into this a bit deeper and see if we can debug the issue?

Thanks.

Was this problem seen on v2.07?
What was the reason for updating to v2.10?
Have you tried using some of the suggestions offered?

Recommendations for upgrading HW is not expensive. Modems are only $100 or less and it helps save any rental fees that ISP sometimes impose on users. LAN cables are cheap as well. I upgrade my  CAT 6 patch cables for under $30 bucks.

You need to narrow down where the symptoms are coming from. Turn off ALL devices accept for 1 wired PC. Ensure 3rd party security and any other background running programs are disabled. Test with this one PC. Then graduate turning on the next one. See if the problem appears or not.

If your looking for further information, you'll need to contact DLink support, ask for level 2 or higher.

Good Luck.

It's definitely 2.10. I did not see this in 2.07.

The reason I upgraded is - it was published as official firmware - so like a good soldier I've upgraded.

Also expensive is relative depending on who you are talking to.
The rewire for me would include tearing out the walls because my house is pre-wired.

Please review this:
FW Update Process (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=42457.0)

Cabling could be a factor on this. I would isolation the router from all other cables and go directly from the PC to the router then to the ISP modem. This will also help to see of the problem exists still. The cabling I recommend is between the ISP modem and router mostly and replacing non-inwall cabling. Inwall cabling is a different animal.

If this was not seen on v2.07, I recommend that you review the FW Update process and go back to v2.07. Theres many cases that being a good soldier can cause problems. Good rule to think about before updating, Review the FW update release notes on Dlinks main web page before updating. Look at the notes, if your note effected or seeing or having problems with what is listed in the release notes, then it's recommended to keep what is currently loaded and do not upgrade. Which brings me to say, If it works, Don't Fix it!

The cabling between the Router to the modem is CAT6. Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to the workstation to patch panel cabling.

From personal perspective - If it works, Don't fix it is a big fallacy.  That attitude hinders innovation and improvement.

Being a tech-geek I was looking to see if i can help debug the issues that are occurring from a firmware-developer perspective.

In any case thanks for your insight.

I understand the need to always improve and move forward, however for most cases again, doing FW updates can be problematic for the average user. And taking into considerations of that and what the average user really needs and what comes in FW updates, again, look at the updates, if most users are not effected by what is in the FW updates, I don't regard taking being safe and not updating a fallacy. However for us tech geeks, of course, we gotta try it man.  ::)

Not lot of DLink developers review the forum we believe. I think they used to years ago however since have moved on or mainly bother with what comes in officially at Customer Support. We do pass on problems to contacts we know of and they get forwarded to the correct project for review. What happens from there on out, anyones guess. We don't get much feedback from that.  ::)

Which is why I do recommend for some users that if we can resolve it here and it seems to be something that DLink needs to be made aware of, phone contacting DLink is highly recommended to get visibility to them and make them aware of possible problems that we can't fix here at a low level.

Try some of the suggestions and see how it works out. Keep us posted.

Premiminary test results look good. I loaded the Canadian version and Guest Zone is fixed. At least for me, testing with out any security and then with WPA2 and AES only and both MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S connected with out issue. I didn't test the router online with the ISP modem. No time.

Hope this might help others.

The 2.10NA version has some uptime stability issues, mine just crashed and rebooted after an uptime of about 2 months.

With 2.10NA and the "Channel Width" set to to auto 20/40, the router starts in the 40MHz mode and correctly switches to 20 MHz if there are other routers close by.  However, it never switches back to the 40MHz mode when the interfering routers are removed.  I thought I was having an issue with my setup, but a lot of people are experiencing this problem.

This maybe due to the "Good Neighbor Policy" that all newer routers are required to have and it probably takes a reboot for the router to set the 40Mhz band. Routers have to play nice near each other.
