Any status on this? 

I thought I would add to this.  I did a update the "Wrong" way, and then after visiting these forums did it the "Right" way.  However ever since doing this update (2.11) my router also reboots frequently.  Nothing other then the firmware has changed since the update.  Since we use VOIP Phones we notice, and it is a problem.  After posting this I'm going to roll back to 2.07 and see if that fixes it. 

To help others that may be having this issue, we have many wired and wireless devices, and use MAC filtering.  We have windows 8.1, and windows 7, and Linux machines, as well as a bunch of virtual machines, and media devices for streaming content, as well as IP security cameras.

I write custom software for a living, and consider myself a hardware guy.  I haven't been able to track this issue down despite my best efforts.  I have noticed that other routers in our network do not reset when this one does during it's hiccups.

If rolling back to 2.07 doesn't fix it I'll be back and will update this.  With the complexity of our network and mac filtering, reconfiguring from scratch is quite a time drain.

Just a final update on my end, continued to have weird issues even with the older firmware, it never limited my downloads like 2.11 but would some times stop responding entirely for several minutes or until I rebooted it and then it would work again, and it kept happening, maybe every couple hours or so, not sure the exact frequency, but was always at inopportune times, so I finally gave in and bought a new router today.  Perhaps your right and it was something to do with my ISP, bright house, not sure, though it was odd that I never had any issues with the base firmware and 2.11 and 2.10 seemed to have completely different issues.

Regardless, I did stick with a D-Link for my new one, largely because of the help I was given on this forum, so just wanted to let you know the situation and thank you again for your efforts in trying to help me.  about 12 hours in with the new one and no issues yet, so keep your fingers crossed for me.

Which router did you go with?

Do you still have the DIR-655?

Try Opera or FF? If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again.

Hello, Finally got fed up and downgraded back to 2.00NA.  Seems like I can use BT with NO lag issues, but it ran DC wireless devices connected to the router.  Anyone have 2.03NA?  As for 2.10n aand 2.11NA when torrenting lags the internet and while still downloading via BT, internet is down for everyone while torrenting. 

I remmeber back in the days, 2.03NA was stable for me, anyone have a link or got it backed up some where?

Ok, so since the DIR-655 seems to be headed to EOL and no more developments in FW updates will be forth coming unless there some big major security issues, I wanted to remove the 2Mb uplink cap limitation that these older routers had on them by design. Since now days the average ISP Uplink speeds is now beyond 2Mb. Not sure why D-Link did it this way so don't ask. Seen this on other older DIR series routers. Anyways, a forum member helped with the modification to the QoS section of Rev B DIR-655 and you can now use preset values for the uplink beyond 2Mb up to 50Mb in the QoS section of the FW. The Auto setting only detects up to 2Mb so select one of the preset Uplink values and test. 

This has been tested and is working on my 100/3 ISP service. No other sections of the FW was touched. All other features work well as expected.
***We attempted to review the incorrect Time, Time Zone and DST bug on this router and found it a bit too complex to make any changes to try to fix the bug. So work on correcting the Time bug was abandoned. A work around solution I found during DST time frames, setting the time zone to the next forward zone by one corrects the time seen on the router with actual time. Even thought the time zone is not correct.

Users with ISP uplink speeds above 2Mb can use this FW and QoS will work well. Hopefully this will help extend the life of the DIR-655 Rev B router. Been good solid routers.
