Title: OK, so the seasons are faster .....
Post by: davecason2 on March 03, 2013, 08:59:46 AM

Hi,

Is there an option on this alleged router to turn on that function where the router measures
the internet connection when its booted up?  My old 655 had that.  I'm desperate to get
anything to make this POS work better....  On the same note does any one know if there is
a patch coming out any time to replace the crap 1.043 Bios?

Cheers'
Dave

What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on routers web page under status.
What region are you located?

Enabling Traffic Shaping should enable measurement of the ISP connection
Is there a problem with your 857?
