Feature Requests:1. Wireless Status page (Status section). SSID/MAC Address/IP Address/Mode/Rate (Mbps)/Signal (%). Very helpful in seeing the wireless rate and signal information, but also helpful to see if any unwanted connections are active.
2. Advanced Wireless Page Additional tweaks, short GI, neighbor protection.
3. Larger logs page Very tiny window, DGL 4300/4500 was much longer + wider and easier to read.
4. Full Device Info Status page.
5. Special Applications page.
6. IPv6 support.
7. Automatically filling in ports when an application is selected. On the 4500 when selected xbox live it would fill in the ports on this one you have to know what ports to open.
8. Advanced Routing Add Route to WAN and LAN like DGL 4500.
9. Missing DDNS feature - Reviewed by D-Link. Feature add possibly forth coming.
10. DLNA certification.
11. NTP Time Services and options.
12.
NTFS hard drive support for media streaming. I confirmed that NTFS does work on the DGL-5500.WD My Book 2007 2Tb NTFS using Mfr RAID for Space option.
13. Add router model, HW and FW rev information to the log in page please.
14. Add StreamBoost update information to D-Links DGL-5500 main web site page for users to get information and notification on when StreamBoost is updated.
15. DHCP reserved IP addresses of 25 is not enough. Would like at least 50 DHCP reserved IP addresses. Even the D-link DIR-655 has 50.
16. Longer router web page timeout before the page auto exits. Would be nice to view the live data tracking and operations before it times out in the web browser.
17. More granular StreamBoost control. In the 4500 I could define a port range to manually override GameFuel's automatic detection; I don't see any similar option here. I'd also love a simple numeric output of QoS level to aid in troubleshooting like isolating and optimizing traffic for a particular game, similar to the 4500.
18. Inline documentation of the 4500.
Bugs:1. Improve 5Ghz wireless range.
2. Improve StreamBoost operation with ISP modem and services. Down and Up link speeds are reduced when SB or Auto Estimation is enabled.
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=55034.03. Logs don't seem to hold much if anything specially after DEBUG option is enabled. Logs clear out if router is rebooted. Not leaving any historical log history.
4. Rebooting DSL PPPoE modems and DGL-5500 causes network devices not to appear in My Networks or Priorities. Have to reboot the ISP DSL Modem once again to resolve.
5. In Mac OSX 10.7.5, after disabling ABE and rebooting the DGL-5500 while all devices are online, causes the routers web UI to hang and unable to gain access to the log in page. Tried Opera, FF and Safari and would not access the routers page. However all other internet services were accessible through the router. Router had to be rebooted to get to routers web page.
6. Notice that user experiences and operation of routers web page not as good when using IE, Safari and Opera. Odd behavior is seen when using these web browsers, Save functions don't seem to save correctly or web page loads are not complete, log in page fails to appear correct. Use of FF seems to be the best browser to manage the router. Other browsers should be the same I presume.
7. The use of ABE while gaming seems to lower the gaming signal in game and the game status signal on Xbox Live. For example, when ABE is enabled, users may see 3 Yellow signal bars in the games status information while playing the game. If ABE is disabled, users see 4 Green signal bars for the game status information which is preferred. This may effect other gaming platforms as well. Xbox was tested for this report.

After the router reboots and the time runs out on the reboot status page, it takes another 10-15 seconds for a Mac Book Pro wireless to regain the WiFi connection. May effect other device platforms as well.
10. DWA-180 and DGL-5500 on 5Ghz Mixed wireless mode only fails to populate PCs and shared folders under Windows 7x64 Network desktop icon. Wired LAN or a bridged DIR-868L work.
11. 500 - Internal Server Error - Seen after several days of being online, no user interaction with the routers web page then attempting to access the routers web page. Internet access is still functional. Unable to access the routers web page. Router must be power cycled. Mac and Windows.
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=55441.012. After disabling ABE, the manual Download and Upload entry boxes are not accurate. I have a 60/5 Mbps connection. I enter 60/5 into those boxes and run a speed test: I get 50/4. I hit "Test Bandwidth" and it gives me results around 70/6. For the hell of it I put 70/6 in those boxes and run a speed test: I get my proper 60/5 Mbps.
13. Active Devices in My Network completely empty intermittently. Device icons return after a period of time or logging back into the router later on.
