DIR-655 Router only gives me ~1/2 speed after FW update

jaredudu · Nov 25, 2009

I updated my router from the stock firmware to the latest one on Dlink's webpage. Everything works however my download/upload speed is less than half of what it was with the original firmware.

Does anyone have insight as to why this would occur?

reset settings to default?, try tweak the firewall settings, turn off WISH and QoS and see if that helps
btw i havnt jumped ship to a newer firmware, my trusty DIR-655 A3 is running at 1.22

what do you mean by download? bittorrent or FTP/HTTP?, it it the wireless to wired/wireless transfer? how fast is that?

1.22 was the original firmware I had that worked well. The only downloads I have tested were through HTTP and a download accelerator. The connection im using is wireless but this is affecting all things running through the router such as the PS3.

The latest official FW is: 1.32 and is found here:
ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir655/Firmware/

The latest BETA FW is: 1.32b09 and is found here: ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir655/Beta/Firmware/

I am running with the latest BETA as I want to use the USB port on the router as a shareport,
is locate´ed here: ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir655/Apps/

Works great as I am sharing a printer right now.....

The problem is I actually tried an older firmware update version several months ago and it gave me the same problems so I downgraded back to the stock firmware. Apparently you cant downgrade from the most recent firmware though so it appears as if im stuck here.

Right....after updating to a 1.3x you will not be able to go back.....

Here´s a good starting point:

Hm alright, I'll let this thread go for a bit longer before I make one there though.
