Dlink DI-524 firmware 1.05 upgrade

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

I upgraded my DI-524 to version 1.05 and now it seems my internet connection
is terrible.
Has anyone else had any problems with this firmware upgrade?

I upgrade mine and all hell broke lose. I had the following issues

1) My Compaq laptop with a Dlink DWL-g630 began to drop the connection
every one an one half minutes

2) If I tried to use MAC filtering, none of the wireless connections
worked. I have this working find on 1.03

3) The router rebooted about every 5 hours with no reason.

I rolled back to 1.03 and all my misery went away except I can not use
WPA which is why I went to this. This firmware is not ready for Prime
time

I confirm a similar experience -- WPA works but NO MAC filtering for
wireless connections (WiFi-G for me), and I got disconnected every
5-10 minutes. Went back to 1.03 with WEP and MAC filtering (WPA being
broken in 1.03). Reported all of this to D-Link.
