The link seems to be dead.
Directed to a "Page not found" page with a HOME button.
When clicking on the 'Home' button, I go to the support page which is USA-based.

The only DIR-655 firmware I can find there is a North America version.
And even if you choose the A-model, you get a (may it be a NA-version) it is a B1 firmware.

Hi!

With a Zyxel NSA310 connected to my 655 internet got slow and unstable. This could happen after a few days or weeks after I connected the NSA310. With firmware 1.37 this is fixed!

But now I have three other issues with this new 1.37 on my Rev A 655:

1. My Nokia Lumia 800 device name is blank under Wireless Client list.

2. Nokia Lumia 800 no longer can sync wirelessly with Zune.

3. Sony NEX-6 connects with my PC but won't transfer any files.

4. dlink 655 and bridging with SoftPerfect Bandwidth Manager (http://www.softperfect.com/board/read.php?7,18668) is problematic

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link> Cat6 is recommended. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6)
• Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=53008.0)
• For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
• If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>Double NAT (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm) and How NAT Works (http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/). To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. Also check the routers DHCP IP address maybe conflicting with the ISP modems IP address of 192.168.0.1. Check to see if this is the same on the ISP modem, and if modem can't be bridged, change the DIR router to 192.168.1.1 or .0.254.

But now I have three other issues with this new 1.37 on my Rev A 655:

• Was a Factory Reset performed before and after any firmware updates then set up from scratch?

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

1. My Nokia Lumia 800 device name is blank under Wireless Client list.
Is there a host name value selected on the device?

2. Nokia Lumia 800 no longer can sync wirelessly with Zune.

• Ensure the default (dlink) SSID name is changed. Can be anything and not something that's already in use by any neighboring WiFi routers. Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
• What wireless modes are you using?
• 2.4Ghz Routers only: 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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_channel) to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions.
• What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard), so you might want to try TPIK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_Key_Integrity_Protocol) only or Auto TPIK and AES.

3. Sony NEX-6 connects with my PC but won't transfer any files.
How is the Sony and PC connected? Wireless or wired?

4. dlink 655 and bridging with SoftPerfect Bandwidth Manager (http://www.softperfect.com/board/read.php?7,18668) is problematic
I recommend contacting the Mfr of the SW and ask for help and support information.
