I've had just about enough of this router and I will be replacing it as
soon as I can get hold of some cash. Here is my advice to anyone reading
this post: do NOT buy a d-link router.
My first router literally went up in smoke. D-Link exchanged it
My second overheated and died. D-Link reluctantly exchanged it.
My third router is a revision b (smaller) version. I thought this would
mean all of the problems with the previous routers will be solved in
this model. I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT AGAIN!
My third router keeps spontaneously rebooting for no reason in a similar
way to my revision a routers before they died. It doesn't seem to be
overheating (I opened the unit up to check as it is now out of warranty
anyway). I thought I might be able to fix this problem by upgrading to
the latest firmware. That was a big mistake. These are the new bugs
added in firmware 3.35 (thanks d-link!):
The links on the http interface do not function now on any browser other
than Internet Explorer
Some pages do not even render correctly on non-Internet Explorer browsers.
When static DHCP has been enabled, the router goes into a rebooting fit
and the only way to recover is by factory resetting the unit and loosing
all your settings and rules.
I tried re-downloading the firmware to ensure it was not corrupt and my
router behaved exactly the same way. I can't re-flash my previous
firmware (3.20) because d-link has removed it from their site
Can anyone recommend a decent router? I'm considering trying one of
Netgear or Linksys' offerings.
