I have hardware version a1 and firmware 1.08. I have had the router for 2 days and upgraded the firmware to 1.08 from 1.03 since wireless devices(all 2.4ghz) cannot connect to the router. I use smart connect and ssid is broadcasting but devices cannot connect. I thought 1.08 was to fix the problem?

I had exactly the same issue after upgrading to 1.08. I turned off Smart Connect and nothing in my whole home would connect to any of the bands via WiFi. Had to roll back to the last update of 1.07 to restore good connectivity.

- What wireless devices do you have connected?
What wireless modes where you using on v1.08 when SC was disabled?
v1.08 has been working for me other then the problem of seeing lower speed test rates while using it. I regressed back to v1.06 and tested speeds again and they were to spec on my iPhone 6P. I'm missing about 20Mb on later FW versions.

- What wireless devices do you have connected?
3 PC laptops running Windows 8.1 and 10
Two Roku 3s
Two Harmony romote hubs
2 android and 2 windows phones
Mutiple xbox 360s, PS3 and other hand held systems.
What wireless modes where you using on v1.08 when SC was disabled?
B,G and N on the 2.4
A/N/AC on both 5Ghz
Killed A on the 5 and B on the 2.4 to check. Nogo.
All devices SEE the router, they just communicate to be granted access. Like a bogus password is being passed, but I reset the password on both ends witrh no change.

Keep v1.07 for now. D-Link has been made aware of the issues seen on v1.08.

Performing a hard reset (button in the back held for approximately 10 seconds, or until the power light changed colors) allowed me to successfully update to 1.08.B03. Hard reset, flash, hard reset again and all devices are communicating properly.
For some reason the reset from the menu did not seem to clear the former settings well enough for a good flash to take. Hope this helps someone.
