just posting this here...refer to the main section for the link... I installed it last nite..seems fine so far.
Never saw it beta tested tho....
-
The only change was the removal of Securespot.
Nothing else was changed, added or fixed.
-
WHAAATT???!! I haven't been frequenting this forum lately... has my dream (of a non-Securespot spoiled release of firmware) finally come true?
-
Yes, download it from the ftp or the mainDLink support site.
-
Even better, D-Link has ended support for Securespot and they have posted an End-of-Life notice for it. I have upgraded my router and it hasn't worked this well since FW 1.21!
This is one of the better decisions that D-Link has made in a very long time. I'm sure it has caused them many more headaches than it has any one individual person., but either way I am very happy to see it go.

ANNOUNCEMENT: SECURESPOT® END OF SALE, END OF LIFE SECURESPOT® has been a successful family security service that was made available on certain D-Link products. To introduce next generation security products, the SECURESPOT service has been discontinued and placed in End of Life status as of January 1, 2011. Therefore, owners of D-Link DIR-655, DIR-628 with SECURESPOT or the DSD-150 Internet Security Adapter will no longer be able to use the SECURESPOT service.
All customers should update their product firmware by visiting the product page for their specific product at http://www.dlink.com or http://www.dlink.com/support.
RECOMMENDATION: SECURESPOT PRODUCT/FEATURE REPLACEMENT
Computer security is a big concern today. If you wish to maintain the same level of protection for your family or home office PCs/network we suggest the Bsecure CloudCare® Internet Filter. This product provides many of the same features and options that were found in the SECURESPOT service, plus many more next generation features such as a Summary Reporting screen, Social Networking Protection, Whole Home Filtering that protects any device with a browser such as smart phones and game stations, and more.

I really want to use this, would it be ok seeing as I am in the UK? I cant imagine it being updated at my end, so I might try using it.

Is it ok considering I am from the UK?
-
Great... Finally... I have been wanting a newer firmware that doesn't have SecureSpot as it's really causing alot of issues and pain.
Woohoo...

I will again ask, can I install this on an Eu version router?
-
I wouldn't- you Guys use different radio channels over there.

No problem.
Disregard davevt31, the channels used are the same apart from 2 extra channels in EU for 802.11b. But I doubt whether you will use those :P

I am currently only able to connect to DIR655 within 35 feet within my house. Is anyone getting more distance? I have a Dlink wireless camera in my garage which is 60 feet from router. There is no signal available at all. Any suggestions to get better distance? I thought the router was good for at least 300 feet.
Thanks.

All depends on the building materials of the house. might want to try repositioning the antennas or you can get the antenna extenders so you can move them farther from the router.
