DI-624 & Firmware 2.50

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Has anyone experienced the same?...

Just upgraded to the latest firmware (2.50) for my rev.C DI-624 and I
just cant handle how slow has become the internet. After trying to
change some settings, I had to go back to the previous firmware
(2.42). For now I'll stick to the old firmware because 2.50 seems to
be buggy as hell.

Thanks for letting me know i'm not the only one.

I had the same issue, was taking 120x longer to load pages on the web,
and some apges were timing out.. had to reload firmware .42

still looking for a way to upgrade my firmware, because with the old
firmware, my 2.4ghz wireless phone causes problems with the wireless
network.

I have the identical problem with a DI-624 revision C3. It came with
2.42 factory loaded, and when loading ANY other firmware, I have
significant internet slowdowns. LAN traffic goes at normal speed.
Anyone find a fix?

Update - Funny enough, my old cablemodem failed on my coincidentally
while I was experiencing these problems. The modem was a Motorola
Cybersurfer which appears to be a 'CLDP' modem. Needless to say, my
provider is swapping those out (since it's very old, and I've had it
since around 1998) They replaced it with a new Motorola Surfboard
DOCSIS 2.0 modem. With the new modem, I then thought to upgrade the
firmware to 2.50 on a whim...Turns out it worked! So it appears the
Dlink doesn't like specific modems, and my old one looks like one of
them. Bear in mind I played with all the modem specific settings (ie.
WAN speed, which is pretty much the only setting I think there is?)
In any case, hope this helps any other users, as I was at my wits end
on it.

Cheers
Simon
