Is there a problem with yours currently?

I'm sure the dev team is working on developments and testing.

Yes. That's one issue.

Others include random drops on my baby monitor that I have on the network. Random drops on my wireless printer that's on my network. Random drops on my laptop on the network. Basically everything but my iPhones and iPads drop the wireless signal and will not pick it up again until I either 1) reboot that device or 2) reboot the router

When I load that firmware onto my router it says it's dated 5 Dec 2013.  So have they been sitting on this update since then, or do they just not care enough to properly update the timestamp?  Either way, I am seriously unimpressed with DLink's lazy attitude toward supporting this expensive router.  I think this will be my last piece of DLink gear.

Dude, there working on it. I presume that like most FW and code development, it takes time to fix things, test and make sure it works. I personally rather have good code that has been worked on well and tested well and not rushed to the public. I believe there are many people involved in the DGL-5500 development than just a few engineers at D-Link. Remember, the SB engine belongs to QualComm...

Give them some time and be patient.

You have only posted twice and have not provided any detailed information beside to complain about what you perceived as being "lazy" in FW development.

I highly recommend that you give us more details on your perceived problems so we might better help you figure out what is the real problem.

I've been using the v1.12 FW for a while now and it's been pretty solid for me.

I suggest you review this and post your finding in a new thread and lets figure out whats going on:
Router Troubleshooting Suggestions and Tips

If your not willing to let us help you then we'll consider this a user issue and not a router issue.

Where do we find v1.12 FW for the DGL-5500?

Does the 1.2 work with the vita?

This is a deal-breaker for me I'm stuck 3 revisions behind because they changed something and caused the ps vita to crash the entire network any time it's connected.

There isn't a v1.2 however there is a v1.12...

I recommend trying the beta and see. You can always go back the current FW version you have loaded...

this beta firmware has been much better for me as far as drops are concerned, but I do still get the occasional signal drop from my printer and baby monitor.  not NEARLY as often as it was, but it still does happen.

Also the config page for the router seems MUCH faster with the beta firmware.

Need to enable HT 20/40Mhz on Mixed G and N mode WiFi...

You can test channel width at 20Mhz only and test.
Then test manual channel 11...
