- Liquidhalos: im sorry to say that after playing the demo, i think its a terrible game, it feels dated. Though the graphics are quite nice in places, the game still just doesnt look right. It feels bulky, and after playing GTA 4 the contol in the game is poor. Im gutted, i was looking forward to this game. Ill give this one a miss
- JimR: Hello, I would like to use my Dlink Dir655 router and the USB port on the back to connect a 1.5TB drive (in an external case of course) to stream media to my XBox 360. Does anyone know if/how this can be done? Thank you in advance!
- stiliom: this will be a long two weeks yet, but until then it is worth it to see: http://www.gladriel.com/previewFull/content/2151/Mafia-II-Demo-Impressions/
- Printerdude: Whenever I connect my Samsung scx4623f multifunction printer, it will show up and connect but then immediately disconnect. It will say available for a little bit but not be able to print and then it starts the connecting to printer dialog again. So it looks like it keeps connecting and disconnecting. This is on both Win7 and Vista.
- Shared printer printing too many copies: [...] device may result. Use only hard-wired network connections. A interesting discussion for D-Link DIR-655 Router and SharePoint/SharePort you may want to read. It started in Oct. 2008 through July 2010. When it comes to firmware flashing [...]
- Ben: As long as the router is connected to the PC you want to use SharePort with, and is turned on, it will work.
- Won: Does printer connected by SharePoint work even the server is turn off? If it can, then I will try to use it. Thanks in advance.
- mardicas: Finally, after upgrading to the 1.3* i had to go through hell, speed drops and reseting the router every week sometimes more frequently the 1.34 has solved all of my problems. Has been up serveral weeks without disconnects or slowdown.

Downgrade D-Link DIR-655 1.3x Firmware

January 31, 2010 – 2:17 pm

I have been debating whether or not I should put this up, however after much testing I have concluded that it is safe, it works and many other people have used this method, it goes without saying that this is still quite dangerous to do as nobody knows why D-Link doesn’t allow the downgrade to take place and they may believe it can cause bricked routers.

There is firmware floating around that allows a D-Link DIR-655 to downgrade to pre-1.3x firmware (and also to other countries’ firmware), here are the results of my testing:

First I factory reset my router, it was running the 1.33NA b01 firmware, then I firmware upgraded it to the DIR655A4_FW131RUB10 firmware file that I will make available at the end, this is a modified version of an official Russian firmware, (apparently 2 bytes is all that has been changed).

The first step, upgrade to the RU firmware

Once this was complete I was running the modified firmware, as you can see it is still in English.

Here I am running the modified firmware

Then I was free to upgrade/downgrade to any firmware I wished, so I decided to try the official Australian Firmware 1.21 and this worked perfectly.

Back on the Australian firmware

Here is the chklst.txt info on the firmware to prove it downgraded successfully.
