Any status on this?

So I pulled out my DGL-5500 earlier today and put back my DIR-857.  The DIR-857 works a lot better for me regarding speed and wireless strength/performance.  Not sure why.  I have the settings the same way.  I then saw your post and decided to give the DGL-5500 a shot with the new firmware.  I followed your steps of resetting the router, applying the new FW, reapplying all the settings manually, rebooting, etc.

I have IE10 in Windows7x64.  I didn't have any issues with my browser as Fuzzy described.  I do not have a HDD connected. 

In all honesty, I am still having the performance issues on my Wireless using the DGL-5500.  It is almost unusable on my 2.4Ghz band (I have 100MB/20MB service but speedtest was showing <1MB/1MB on wireless 2.4GHz).  The 5Ghz band seems to be ok but still no where getting my LAN speeds.  I also did not get accurate measurements using their speed test in the SB page.  I tried with ABE on and without.  It is better without when using SB for me.  Not any different from old FW unfortunately.

I am not sure why this router's performance is so bad for me compared to the DIR-857.  I really like the idea of SB on the DGL-5500.  I was hoping the new FW 1.10 would have fixed some of these performance issues, but it doesn't seem to have really addressed any of that stuff.

I think Dlink took down DGL-5500 v1.10B04NA FW. It's not showing on the website.
