Ahh, nice to know I've been playing with the DDWRT firmware lately so it's programmed into my brain already 

Anyways, router up 3 days since flash and still going strong. Any opinions on best pre 1.30xx nosecurespot FW? Thanks.

1.11

I thought I'd report back after a few months of running 1.22.

I ran it a while without too many issues, but still just enough gremlins when using OCS or LiveMeeting for conference calls, lag on Xbox, and other little things here and there.  I got fed up with it, and decided to buy a $15 Gig-E switch and hook it up to my old MN-700.  While the MN-700 doesn't have the rich features and speed that the DIR-655 has (and very noticable when downloading huge Blizzard updates, streaming Netflix movies, etc.), in the end, it's more stable, and less laggy.

For a while I have had the DIR-655 plugged in behind the MN-700.  The machine behind the DIR-655 has a definitely less reliable network, but in general, my DIR-655 reboots are non-existent.  But it makes sense, because the router is no longer doing much actual routing -- it is barely better than a dumb access point now.

I'm sorry, I'd rather have a slow connection with low latency than a high bandwidth connection that is unreliable and latent.  The DIR-655 is going on Craigslist.
