Very tempted as DGL-5500 v1.10B04NA FW is just a pain for me.  Lots of connectivity and network lag and I have to reboot every couple of days.

We will see if I have time this weekend.

Will try and get info. We do need to get some testing going however. Please load this new code and let us know what you see on a cursory level. Test the initial setup wizard, defautl settings, dont use any reservations just yet. Use default wireless modes and security. Do some speed.net and  pc to pc file xfer speed testing on wireless and wired connnections with a pc and record results as some testing suggestions. Note ant differences with Streamboost and ABE enabled/disabled.

For anyone gaming. Do some gaming on 2.4, 5Ghz and wired connectons, note any peformance issues seen with gaming and in games signal levels that games offer, ie signal bars. Test any gaming with two or more gaming devices at the same time.

So some video streaming from a connected USB drive.

Note any browser or web page problems encoutered.

Test any of these suggestions with Streamboost and ABE ON first then try disabling ABE and re-test.

Post your results here.

Thank you.

Just posted a Link to a very Drafty changelog we have been collecting (see original Beta Post). Some Cleaning is needed, but that will most likely happen at full release time.

We welcome your comments and test results.

Thanks Everyone!

Yea I tried it (BETA FIRMWARE 1.10 BUILD 10), but since I did the router forgets my pc after a reboot. Windows say someone else on the network has my ip. If I pull the wire outa the router and plug it back in the router reboots and I'm back to gaming without messing about windows.

Also the router still don't show all devices on my network, and they are active.  I can't trust that the router isn't letting people through the password if it's not functioning correctly or showing who's on when this pc I'm typing this from is, active on, connected by wire, and still not showing in the router screen.

I don't really want to offend anyone but this router isn't very good. I agree with others that for 200 bux this thing shouldn't need me to be a beta tester.

I honestly can say I know very little about routers, and setup but my DGL-4300 never did this, and thats why I was interested in upgrading to the DGL-5500. Now after this router, wow what can I say.

Taking it back is not an option, but man I wish I could.  I'd gladly accept my 200 bux back for beta testing this for Dlink and ship this router back to them.

You need to turn OFF ALL Devices accept for 1 wired LAN PC...

Once you get the one PC loaded and set up, can reserve if you want. Then Turn ON the next device.

I was able to load mine today and all my devices are actually using DHCP at the moment for test. Been gaming with 2 xboxes tonite and doing very well actually. One is wired and one is on a wireless bridged to the 5Ghz radio on AC mode...

Start again with ALL devices OFF and graduate them one at a time...

Maybe someone can review the router settings and help you set it up via teamviewer...

Do a reset on the router as well..

I walked thru the wizard first...use 100.00/10.00 for SB and turn off ABE for now...

One at a time...

Keep us posted.

Seeing some major improvements on this build and my experiences so far...

I set up the router using mostly defaults, save for manual DNS and DNS relay OFF, using DHCP IP addresses for all devices for now, no reservations, time and remote access, Media-cast Enabled. Left everthing else mostly default.

2.4Ghz Single mode N, Manual Chl 1, WPA2/AES only, HT20/40 Disabled
5Ghz Mixed all mode, Auto Chl Scan, WPA2/AES only.


Biggshooter recommended disabling ABE first, inputting 100.00 and 10.00 for manual speed. Save settings and and go back in and enable ABE then reboot fully. Tested internet speeds were near or on spot with my 50 down and 2Mb UP with ABE Enabled with this process. Seem that the initial wizard setup and speed testing operation is not correctly testing for speeds. If I used the wizard during set up, it found wrong speeds. After doing manual this process, gaming and overall general usage is very good.

Connected a 250Gb USB drive to the USB port with media server enabled. Able to stream video files to Windows Media play great.

I notice Icons seem to show up correctly for most of my devices. iPhones and Mac and Windows.

Haven't seen a router web page hang nor 500 Internal Server error message yet.

Only major thing I notice that that for some reason I can't see my File Server network share icon on my windows 7x64 and Mac Book Pro OSX client PC side using a DWA-180 or LAN wired. I can see the media server and USB drive that way, however the folder shares are missing and not accessible. Even mapping to the IP address of the File Server.  I'll see if resetting the share will do anything...I don't have to reset anything if I use a different model router.  ::)

Seems like this build is a vast improvement...

Would like to see some review on the SB/ABE speed testing operation and what would possible cause a network share to not be correctly displayed or become corrupt when using this model router.

Other than those items, for now, looking good!!!  ;D

Lets load this up people and get it tested out...

Well did as requested, I reset back to factory with this firmware, and added 1 pc at time.

First pc went fine it set ip to 192.168.0.100 (wired)
Second pc not so well, router didn't find pc on start and had to reboot the router, and only then the router found the second pc. Otherwise it was not getting internet access.
Also second pc ip address assigned to 192.168.0.102 (wired) I would have thought it would use 192.168.0.101

3rd pc went fine,but it's wireless connection and was assigned 192.168.0.103
4th connection iphone went fine and assigned 192.168.0.104
5th connection iphone as well and went fine assigned 192.168.0.105

All this was done 1 at a time with the router settings saved between each device.

So I went to Maintenance: System : Save Settings To Local Hard Drive: did that fine.

Went back to admin and noticed the time was wrong (wrong time zone) so I changed it to reflect correctly.
Saved settings.

Wanted to go back in and re save the new settings with correct config and timezone.
but after it got done saving the setting the router password didn't work that I had assigned and had to leave it blank. Then the router let me in.

Went to ADMIN reset password, and save settings again.

Went to router again and password stayed and was able to get in, double checked DHCP assignments, and timezone everything looked good and saved the config to my hard drive. Done

So I have connectivity to everything again, tried rebooting (PC not router) and everything is working still.

Everything is showing up in MY NETWORK/ ALL DEVICES

Thing is... Whats/Who is connected to  192.168.0.101? Did the router skip a number? And why did the router forget the password? After a save ?

I sounds like upon initial connection of the 2nd PC, the router did find the 2nd PC however something happened on the 2nd pc that didn't do a seamless IP address assignment. On the router, it was assigned to the 2nd PCs MAC address and is now leased to that MAC address for a period of time until the lease is up and that IP address becomes free.

What browser are you using to manage and set up the router?
I used IE 10 yesterday however did not set a admin PW as I find it inconvenient to use a PW while doing a lot of reboots while setting up and such. When I get the router set up and fully and not dinking around with it, I'll set up a PW.

The PW have been saving for me when I do use them. I only use numerical characters and usually 3 or 4 as I'm the only one on my system that needs access.

Seem like you finally got yours going...Keep us posted...

Post by: Gumby on October 15, 2013, 12:53:37 PM
Yes it's going, I can't reasonably say everything is correct.

 I found out what is using the missing ip. I forgot that my printer was still on when adding devices last night and I'm assuming, because the config for the router never shows my printer using the wifi that is has assigned it self to the 192.168.0.101 ip so that blows up the lease expiring thinking.

I use firefox for configuring the router which I did for my DGL-4300.

In this day and age of the internet and browsers, based on a company like Dlink, am I to be convinced that I use or should use a different browser for configuring? There are major players in the browser business we know that, and Dlink surely knows that as well. So suggesting a different browser made me even more frustrated.

The password forgetting after save is a firmware issue, also I shouldn't have had to reboot the router to add the second pc.

I did not receive this router for free, I am an end user that put 200 bucks down.

Hard to, can't, and will NOT recommend this router to anyone. I am really that unhappy with my purchase.

I will put my contact info below, so if anyone wishes to speak to me in person, or in writing. I'm willing to explain my reasons for not recommending this router.

I have removed your information to protect you and your privacy. I recommend that you phone contact D-Link support and talk to someone about this. If your unhappy with this router, I recommend asking them if they might exchange it for a different model router that is comparable to the DGL-5500.

I think is router is maturing and is working well for me and others. There is a process to using it as it has new UI and FW abilities not seen in other routers. Were all trying to get to know it some and use it. I presume that this is not what your into and should find a different model router that better fits your needs.

Good Luck.

Good to hear. If you can test with ABE ON after setting 100.00 and 10.00 manually. Mines currently on this and doing very well. Even though last night I could not sign on to XBL correctly. Keep getting disconnected when starting the game up from the dashboard. Not sure what was going on...finally got in...

Whats your ISP Speed UP and down and your ISP modem Model and Mfr?

Keep us posted please.

Just FYI, this is a U.S. only router. Support will be very probably limited for other regions just so you know.  ::)

I would like to report that there was a bug in My Network tab. It could not show or show a blank when there are more than 100 clients or devices  :(

Second bug is about the restart button, it takes too long to reboot the device one it is clicked, about 20 second before the router starts to reboot.

Please fix those errors  :)

Turn off any security SW while managing the router. My reboots happen with in about 3 seconcs as I do notice it takes that long for the web browser to refresh.

Does this happen on other browsers? Try IE or FF?

Be ware that your region does not support the use of this router so there may be limited support there. This is a NA region only router.

I have tried all the browsers ( Maxthon, IE, Firefox ), the issue is the UI of the router, not the web browsers.

For me, the reboot takes around 10-20 seconds with all the SW off.

About the limitation of the region, I have nothing to comment. However, I just want to let the developers know about those errors and build a firmware that support outside of NA region soon.

P/s: I currently own 3 of them. Since I have a very high hope for this router, I will wait patiently for the official firmware to be released :)

This has been tested on IE, Chrome and Firefox. All get the same problems.

None of devices that connect to the router.

Media Server is disabled on testing.

The error occurred faster than I think when the was around 80 people connect to the network.

P/s: The Media Server is on while testing.

It is both wired and wireless ( those connect to DGL-5500 router about 2-3 only ). The rests connect through APs in each floor.

Now I find it is interesting too as you mentioned. LOL  :P.

The Stream Boost technology is not only limited for gaming, right ?  ;)

Hope new beta firmware soon be released  :-*

Ya, i'm wondering if the 5500 is not really best suited for your needs. A DIR-865L or 868L might be better.

Will be posted when it comes available.

Any status on this?

Maybe someone can review your router settings with you using Link> teamviewer (http://www.teamviewer.com) if your interested. Its safe and secure.

Yes it's going, I can't reasonably say everything is correct.

 I found out what is using the missing ip. I forgot that my printer was still on when adding devices last night and I'm assuming, because the config for the router never shows my printer using the wifi that is has assigned it self to the 192.168.0.101 ip so that blows up the lease expiring thinking.

I use firefox for configuring the router which I did for my DGL-4300.

In this day and age of the internet and browsers, based on a company like Dlink, am I to be convinced that I use or should use a different browser for configuring? There are major players in the browser business we know that, and Dlink surely knows that as well. So suggesting a different browser made me even more frustrated.

The password forgetting after save is a firmware issue, also I shouldn't have had to reboot the router to add the second pc.

I did not receive this router for free, I am an end user that put 200 bucks down.

Hard to, can't, and will NOT recommend this router to anyone. I am really that unhappy with my purchase.

I will put my contact info below, so if anyone wishes to speak to me in person, or in writing. I'm willing to explain my reasons for not recommending this router.

I have an HTPC (wireless) connected and the 5GHz band is unstable...

I have compared to 1.10b04, 1.10b09 for 5GHz stability. All seem to have a similar signal strength in the range of 50% +- but when using the beta FW only 2.4GHz has a steady signal, but not near the quality of stability that 5GHz gives me.

I installed and reinstalled my D-Link AC1200, trying to see why I couldn't hold a 5Ghz connection. If I ran the windows troubleshooter it would connect as corrected and then disconnect with a error triangle.
Using either b04 or b09 I have a steady 5GHz connection.

The website does not show b09 as available or released.. but if you run an FW check in the router software it offers b09 update. I am disabled and use my wireless HTPC a lot during the day and the 2.4GHz quality is just not there.. unfortunately this will make trying build 10 difficult for me. I do need my HTPC working correctly. Hopefully I will read that an improvement has been made for this and I can try it again.

When I first connected my router it had b04 loaded. My 5GHz signal was reading 68%. Now I'm lucky if I get 50% stable.. can drop to in the 30's. It seems that doing an FW change has lowered my signal strength? Where is the 5GHz 'Boost' I read about, does 'StreamBoost' work on both 2.4 and 5GHz bands?

I did a restore to factory defaults and uploads of my saved configurations with each FW change.

Thanks

FurryNutz...

It's a repeat, I did a clean/reset (even with the bottom of router, reset) and reinstalled 10. I did manual setup, not the saved and I have the same results. I am seeing 35-60% signal strength using 5GHz and on my WMC player I can get a blank screen, audio only and/or no tuner found.. even if 60% Signal. 2.4GHZ works as expected.

When returning to 1.10b09 my HDTV popped on instantly playing a good picture and sound, 5GHz, even when the signal strength is 'Fair' 35%. It will go between that and around 60% (mostly in the upper strengths). The "Modes': are standard, no changes. 2.4GHz 802.11n,g and b. 5GHz 802.11ac,n and a. Always on with 2.4GHz channel width 'Auto 20/40 MHz', 5GHz channel width 'Auto 20/40/80 MHz.

Also I have noticed that on the reset start up pages, it doesn't show the StreamBoost choice..just prev or next.. so I hit next and then from the next page..hit prev to return and see the StreamBoost acceptance page.. then I can continue..but I don't see an active bandwidth test as in 04.
I also see slower switch over connects between 2.4 and 5 on my HTPC... slower than 04.

On the plus side.. I had hardly seen any bar or graph movement before like build 10. I now see the lower boxes with band information and the horizontal bars giving some better visual information. It's a burst of information and no movements on and off even with active data downloads. Possibly that's due to packet(s) and how it reads.

My equipment is: SiliconDust HD HomeRun triple channel, CableCard tuner (hardwired to router), with a digital tuner supplied by my Cable company (also LAN hardwired). 'Wireless' to my PC using a D-Link AC1200 dual band USB adapter(sorry, currently switched to a T-Link TL-WDN3200 N600 Wireless USB dual band adapter. The AC1200 was not working as well with build10, and as part of my trouble shooting).
MSI 990FXA-GD65, AMD Phenom II 1090T 6 core, 16GB 2133 memory 8X2, MSI 7770 GPU, OCZ 650w PSU. Phillips 42" HDTV and 20" Monitor (dual monitor capable). Only the HDTV on... monitor is only occasional.

FurryNutz..

Call the distance 20'... I measured 18'+-, but line of sight is even a little closer. Basic ranch home, line of sight is thru 2 walls to My HTPC and AC1200 Receiver.
The router sits separate, but it's part of a pile.. CATV router(Bridge Mode), another CATV router for my Cable Telephone(CATV LAN and Cable coax connected) and my HD HomeRun Cable Card tuner(LAN jumper from Channel Tuner and Cable coax connected).

Let me know how I can help with further testing, staying 9 until....
I am going to remove the TP-Link and reinstall the AC1200. If the 1200 still underperforms the TP..I will address that under AC1200 I guess...lol I expect it to be fine.. the TP as I said was as a test. It's an additional connector for my laptop.

Any chance you can put the client device and router in line of sight with out 2 walls on 5Ghz?
5Ghz isn't great with building materials.

What is the model of this ISP modem?

Is the 5500 with in 6" of other devices?
Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."

Also D-Link mentioned that if we could test with out any additional APs or Bridges for some initial testing of the WiFi, this would help in reporting your findings. With and without additional WiFi going on. They are testing with and with out APs and looking into the behavior of the 5500 and with using additional APs and Bridges.

If anyone has been testing, please note any Mfr and model APs and Bridges you may be using with the 5500. Test the 5500 with out these running and report your findings.

I have been using a DIR-865L in bridge mode with my 5500 use for an Xbox connection. Sometimes a DIR-868L as well.

Let us know what you have and any results. There are looking into this WiFi issue.

FurryNutz..

I have a 30' Cat6.. I'll reinstall both my AC1200, re-install build 10 and try it. For what it's worth, as I said.. with build 9 and original 1.10b4 I get a 5GHz signal of high 30's to high 60's signal strength (D-Link software) and a stable signal for my HDTV.. and gaming. No noticeable glitches as I can tell...

It might take until Sunday for me to play with this..

First a direct line of sight at about 12' and even move it closer... to include side by side (a few inches). My CATV has a ubee router in bridge mode, then my 5500. I don't have a way to remove that one..it's in bridge mode but there is still a low 2.4GHz signal per inSSIDer. My other (telephone) router has wireless off. I can disconnect that one during testing. There are no other 5GHz signals in or around my home. I'm single.. the only other wireless during this is a cell phone.. connected 5GHz. I can limit other connection when testing, no AP's. 

I have 'inSSIDer' installed on my android cell phone. Possibly this also helps.. I did it 4 times  to see if the dBm readings were similar each time, they are. Next to the router: -45dBm, At the other side of the wall from the router:  -49dBm, mid hallway (not very long) -62dBm and next to the USB receiver (that's on top of a table): -69dBm. (1.10B09)

I read and have thought about router distance from the other stuff.. mine is on the other end of the table, but the cat cable(35") and power cord supplied are not long enough to move it far... I wonder why they don't include longer ones?

Post by: FurryNutz on October 25, 2013, 01:44:21 PM
One test you can do since you are the only person in your household and if you get some time, Turn OFF the ISP modem fully. Connect one PC to the 5500 and another via WiFi and test this scenario isolated. I run this scenario on various builds to gauge what the router and client devices can can do with a wired LAN file server as a test point. I have sample files ranging from 800Mb to 4Gb in size. I only use 2 files at the moment. I usually start with one radio OFF and the other ON. Then reverse radios and test, then test with them on all using default settings then I'll go with Single mode N on 2.4Ghz with WPA2/AES only and Mixed all modes on 5Ghz with WPA2/AES only. Sometimes I do test mixed security as a additional test since results should be similar for my devices I use however I mainly run my devices on N or AC modes so most of my testing is usually single mode for me. You'll need to figure out what you need for you. I have the files on both the client and file server PC. I do Read from and Write to tests back and forth on the test client. This is a suggested test if you can do it.

Please test your 5500 with out the AC1200s going and see what your results are and with the ISP modem OFF. If there is some signal still coming from the ISP device, I don't think it should effect much however it's still out there and could a cause of interferences and un-necessary noise on the frequency. Thus the reason for testing with it OFF and isolated for some test scenarios. Also helps in finding any other issues along the way.

What current FW is loaded on the AC1200s? I presume these are D-Link units?

Keep us posted.

FurryNutz...

whew.. I feel like I've been doing this all day, because for the most part I have… LOL
I moved my router to a direct line of sight giving it about a 16 foot distance. What a day…
I changed to the security settings that you recommended and with build 10 I did see a slight improvement, but I still had intermittent audio only, or sporadic connections using the 5 GHz signal. I should add that at least after I had a line of site and the adjustment changes you recommended I was able to watch TV a little bit better. Obviously being digital, it's either on or off. So I do realize that some of the pixilation that I see on occasion is not from the router.

This probably needs to be posted under the D-Link wireless AC1200 dual band adapter section. But as I had stated as a trial I installed my TP-Link and 600 dual band, USB wireless receiver and today I uninstalled that and reinstalled my D-Link AC1200 dual band wireless receiver. Having had build 9 still installed, when I installed the AC1200 I kept getting an unidentified network using the 5 GHz band. No connectivity problems with the 2.4 GHz signal. This is a frustrating problem that I've been dealing with for a couple of hours.

I reset the router and installed build 10. I was getting similar results for my connectivity with the 5 GHz signal. So even though I saw slight improvement. With the changes you suggested and a direct line of sight, I decided to reinstall 1.10b04, and all my connectivity came back, including the 5 GHz signal, still using the D-Link AC1200. I'm left a little confused as to why the TP link dual band adapter was able to hold a usable 5 GHz signal with build 9 and my D-Link AC1200 did not even get a good connection, just unable to identify network. I even used the Windows connection repair and it didn't help.

This is a lot of work. Testing the router, clearing and switching out FW's. I'm glad to help, and I surely want the best results from this router. I'm a gamer, not a heavy one, but I love the StreamBoost operational concept. If there's another way that you would like me to test either build 9 or build 10, or other, Please let me know.

I will install the recently released  v1.11b03 FW and give it a try.

Thanks for posting your results. This will come in handy and should be informative for D-Link to help with the improvements. I have seen some odd issues using my DWA-180 and now that i've pull the 5500 from the main line, I'll be doing some isolated testing using the new 1.11B03 and see what happens. D-Link trying to narrow down if this is something in the FW or a combination of the other adapters and APs and how they are handling the 5500 5ghz signal. Seems complicated for sure. Please post any results you get with the new FW. I'l be starting testing soon here.

Thank you.

I think this router has a lot more potential than a 'Gaming' router. This is a for everyone router. We all have a mix of wireless and it's only going to get even a wider range of home/business use.  Many items have data demands. Yes, Gaming has a higher demand, but.... I can see a lot of buyers liking the concept of StreamBoost.

Me too...

As a new released product..  it needs to be all it's expected to be.
