Shouldn't...could be other issues upstream from router thats causing speed to fail..cabling, ISP modem, ISP signal quality.

I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.

I know for me it's not an issue with the isp because I hooked my 4500 back up just to test it and my speeds are about 25 faster.  Tested more than once before hooking the new one back up.  I really think there could be a bug that keeping it from being as fast it can be.

It not ISP problem I have the DGL 4500 and DIR -827 and DIR-865L the GameFuel work fine the DIR-827  with QOS work fine I get  my 100 and 5  up but the DIR-865L does the same as DGL-5500 it cut my bandwidth down.

What happens if you turn of SB?
I'm getting my 50/2 here. Not sure about 100/5 though...

There has got to be something going on there. You have a good ISP modem, It's a step up from mine. If the ISP signal is good to the modem. There shouldn't be any issues.

Does the ISP have any boosting or DNS services that are online in addition to having Internet Services?

I'm not sure if TW has any boosting or DNS services but I do have a tech guy coming in the morning. Also there is a splitter be used because I have my modem for internet and TW modem for telephone.

I wouldn't say my experiences are bad, just not seeing much a boost or anything spectacular compared to my DGL 4300

Download Speed(Mbps) 11.80
Upload Speed(Mbps) 1.15

Some things I noticed are

Battlefield 3 never comes up as an app using bandwidth, I suppose because it connects through battlelog which is web based.

My printer is in fact connected but doesn't show anywhere. And the WPS button didnt find my printer either.

I was hoping for a more expanded set of options so I could completely configure access to other pc's (I desperately want to limit access to facebook )

Other than that , I'm not particularly satisfied or at least not yet. and all I can say is it works.
I'm keeping it so I'll have to get over the 199 pricetag

I do think the 5500 will get better over time.  It may take a couple of firmware updates to get there, but I have confidence that D-Link will come through and make this one of the best routers ever released!

Have you tried connecting the printer via the SSID and PW? My printer isn't wireless however via LAN it connects and is seen by the router.

I notice that it seems to be preferred that users should reserve IP addresses for ALL devices ON the router.

I did connect the printer through the SSID and router wifi password through the printers software so it connected fine,but I prefer like you said to reserve a slot for it,but it no longer shows so I can add it.

With the EXCEPTION of an Access Point.  Right?  

[FurryNutz]

You might restart the router and power cycle the printer and see if it shows up...It should show for you under Setup/Networking...

Ok awesome I'll give that a try. Thanks for the help.

[FurryNutz]

Keep us posted.

ok I did restart it and it did not place a ip for the printer nor mac address.

Right now I dont even know how its working but it is.
