Router Reboots
« on: October 16, 2009, 09:32:27 AM »

I just purchased a DIR-655 and upgraded the firmware too 1.32NA and the hardware version is A4. Here is my problem, whenever I use Outlook 2003 to send/receive mail and there are messages with attachments the router performs a reboot. And sometimes even without using Outlook it will reboot for no reason.

Also there tons of UDP messages being blocked in the logs.
Blocked incoming UDP packet from 24.127.172.225:12735.

I have a Cable Modem: Motorola SB51000 with 10mb access

I just got rid of a LinkSys and bought this router, don't tell me I made the wrong choice, can anyone offer some suggestion on how to stop the reboots

Yep, DLink released a faulty firmware back in July, and have yet to fix it.  One can only hope that the incredible time that's elapsed since then means a fixed firmware is near...

Is it possible to downgrade or will that make it worse?

You can not go back on Firmware, you are stuck like the rest of us.

If you just purchased the router, you can always take it back to the store and tell them it is defective.  Get an exchange and stay with the older firmware until DLink fixes the issue.

I will say the following post from another member cleared up my router reboots.  Mine has been up for approx 20 days without a reboot:

To help address disconnection issues with the DLink DIR-655, make these settings on the router:


Under Advanced --> QOS engine --> QOS engine setup:
Uncheck Dynamic Fragmentation

Under Advanced --> Advanced Wireless -->Advanced Wireless Settings:
Uncheck Short GI

Under Advanced --> Wi-Fi Protected Setup:
Uncheck enable

Under Advanced --> Secure Spot:
Uncheck Enable Securespot services

Under Setup --> Internet --> Manual Internet Connection Setup:
Uncheck Enable Advanced DNS Service

Under Setup --> Network Settings --> Router Settings:
Uncheck Enable DNS Relay

Under Setup --> Network Settings --> DHCP Server Settings:
Check Always Broadcast

Under Setup --> USB Settings:
Set "My USB type" to WCN Configuration

Under Setup --> Wireless Settings --> Manual Wireless Network Setup:
Set 802.11 Mode to Mixed n,g,b
Check Enable Auto Channel Scan
Set Transmission rate to Best (automatic)
Set channel width to Auto 20/40
security mode to WPA personal
Set Visibility Status to visible

Under Wireless Security Mode set:
Set Security mode WPA-Personal
Set WPA Mode to WPA2 Only
Cipher type AES
Pre-Shared Key is required

I applied most of those updates and I haven't had to reboot or had a lockup in at least 2 weeks.  Thanks!
