Anyone know why these settings are hidden (see attached image)?



Or are they visible only with pure N only connections (which I don't have  )? Seems some have something to do with the TCP retransmission timer.

[Lycan]

Where on earth did you see that??!!?

[EddieZ]

Advanced Wireless page. My webbrowser pages seem to refresh a bit slow when logged into the router. With some good timing, the print screen buttton makes it more visible 

[Rift]

I'm running N only on one of my Dir-655's and I also only see those options for a split second before they disappear.

[EddieZ]

I would be interested as to the finetuning options these hidden items give us.

[lotacus]

try turning off the web browsers formatting.

You can access not really "hidden" settings with the older firmware, but hidden pages the reveal some interesting things, not sure what they do though.

http://192.168.0.1/WANCommonIFC1.xml

I think there were more but that's all I got sifting through the code.

If you look through the actual web code, and the js files, you'll see alot of things commented out as per h/w check.


Example with no formatting enabled. Hint: This is probably what some users did and realised their WDS didn't work, so they came to dlink saying they get a WDS error... of course hiding the fact this is what they did to apply settings.

I was going to copy & paste my config. screens in hopes of maybe someone might see a issue with my setup but decided not to as to much info.
However if you go into the advanced setup of the router and drag your mouse across the screen highlighting it and then paste it as if you were going to post on the message board you will see different categories that is pasted then what was on the sceen.

Not really of any importance, just kinda interesting options. I guess to many options is to much and the engineers are saving us for ourselves

I hope Lycan will as inquisitive as we are  It seems there a lot more options to be configured, such as RIP enabling.

[HazardX]

In my browser (safari) if I disable javascript it shows all the other options in the normal menu style.

*HOWEVER* I suspect doing so just gives me arbitrary values in the places, since they certianly don't match what the normal menus are set to.

If I disable styles (equivalent to your formatting?) then it shows the unformatted list with all menus shown with the right values.

[mackworth]

I noticed a Bridge mode, that was disabled in one of the early firmwares correct?  I wonder if it still works.

[EddieZ]

Try before you die 

[lotacus]

Yes, Just about every menu has a hidden option. You can select these options and it should save the changes, since leaving the current menu prompts the configuration changed dialogue box. I never did actually try saving any values, since I have no need for them and no way to test them out.

[EddieZ]

I've been trying some, but i'm yet unable to check if something really changes. The router is still working though 

[lotacus]

try bridged mode or WDS.

Could it be that you just found the way to resurrect static-routing on a dir655 ?
