Hi!
With a Zyxel NSA310 connected to my 655 internet got slow and unstable. This could happen after a few days or weeks after I connected the NSA310. With firmware 1.37 this is fixed! Yay!
But now I have three other issues with this new 1.37 on my Rev A 655:
1. My Nokia Lumia 800 device name is blank under Wireless Client list.
2. Nokia Lumia 800 no longer can sync wirelessly with Zune.
3. Sony NEX-6 connects with my PC but won't transfer any files.
4. dlink 655 and bridging with SoftPerfect Bandwidth Manager is problematic
5. Cannot login to Zyxel NSA310. Worked fine with previous firmware (don't remember which). This is the case with two 655, and is the same with Opera Next 22, Firefox 27 and IE10 for Windows 7 x64.

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
- Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link> Cat6 is recommended. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6)
- Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=53008.0)
- For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
- If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>Double NAT (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm) and How NAT Works (http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/). To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. Also check the routers DHCP IP address maybe conflicting with the ISP modems IP address of 192.168.0.1. Check to see if this is the same on the ISP modem, and if modem can't be bridged, change the DIR router to 192.168.1.1 or .0.254.

But now I have three other issues with this new 1.37 on my Rev A 655:
- Was a Factory Reset performed before and after any firmware updates then set up from scratch?

1. My Nokia Lumia 800 device name is blank under Wireless Client list.
Is there a host name value selected on the device?

- Ensure the default (dlink) SSID name is changed. Can be anything and not something that's already in use by any neighboring WiFi routers. Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
- What wireless modes are you using?
- 2.4Ghz Routers only: Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
- Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
- Try setting a manual Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_channel) to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions.
- What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard), so you might want to try TPIK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_Key_Integrity_Protocol) only or Auto TPIK and AES.
3. Sony NEX-6 connects with my PC but won't transfer any files.
How is the Sony and PC connected? Wireless or wired?
4. dlink 655 and bridging with SoftPerfect Bandwidth Manager (http://www.softperfect.com/board/read.php?7,18668) is problematic

I did a factory reset now and I still can't get a name on my Nokia Lumia 800 in the routers setup -> network settings wireless client list
1. My Nokia Lumia 800 device name is blank under Wireless Client list.
Is there a host name value selected on the device?
Yup, I tried the suggestions under nr. 2 but I can't get the device/host name of my Lumia 800 (Nero) to show up
2. Nokia Lumia 800 no longer can sync wirelessly with Zune.

I can't test wireless sync right now, heres the settings I used

Transmission rate: Best

Wireless. I guess it might have the same problem Lumia 800 has.

They said "Yes, it's quite strange and may be a router issue."
Since things work if I connect the server with Bandwidth Manager directly to the cable modem.

PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations
- Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
PC Web Browser Configurations
What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF? If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again.
Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
Clear all browser caches.
Be sure to log into the Admin account on the router.
Try turning off these features in Chrome:
Top right corner, little bars for options > Settings > Settings (on left) > Show advanced settings.
Uncheck these:
Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors
Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
Predict network actions to improve page load performance
Enable phishing and malware protection
2. Nokia Lumia 800 no longer can sync wirelessly with Zune.

This app might be incompatible with a router since the router handles various things. you can try disabling TS and QoS under Advanced/QoS and see if this helps the app. I don't use any such app with these routers.

Cat 5e is good for gigabit network, cat 6 is not needed.

5e can be used however CAT6 offers the benefits of better quality, get into new cabling and helps in troubleshooting.
