I was previously on 1.32A and my internet connection would seemed to drop out after every couple of days. I never had to reboot it because it always came back on. I have version A4. Also, my wireless printer always had to be reset.
However about 3 weeks ago I updated to version 1.34NA
Firmware 1.34NA 5/20/2010
Fixed: Bsecure Issue.
Firmware 1.33NA 1/28/2010
Fixed: Correct HNAP issue.
Fixed: DNS relay issue ( WAN Slowdown )
Added: Advanced DNS descriptions
I have been up for 3 weeks constantly after updating the firmware, never had a dropped connection, and I have had zero issues with my wireless printer. I can only assume that the above updates fixed the router. :)

Was curious on what wireless modes you are using? Mixed?
-
Yes:
802.11 Mode : Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b
Also, my wireless performance has improved and I consistently get my max speed from my ISP on my laptop.
-
If you don't have any wireless devices that use Modes A or B, try using Mixed G and N. If you dont' have any N devices, it's ok to use single mode G until such time you get something that supports N.

I have not had any trouble with my 655 that some adjustment of settings didn't cure. A2 with 1.35NA
I just want to say that my Stock Market Real-Time Ticker software only runs properly when my router is set to 802.11n only. If I change the setting to any other (mixed) the software ceases real-time and reverts to periodic (2 minute) updates. Since I actively trade every day, this is intolerable as I need true real-time information.
If you only need "n" then set to "n only."

That works too. Saves on broadcasting unused signals too. ;)
