D-Link DIR-825 Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router: Second Time's the Charm?

How does it compare to wrt610n w/dd-wrt?

I read somewhere that a new rev B2 is available. Any info on this? What did they fix?

if it helps anyone, I found the dir-825 h/w B1 (firmware 2.02na) at costco for $109 today. Pretty nice price. I bought one to consider updating my dir-655 and get better streaming with N on 5.0. We'll see how it works soon.

Anyone else comment on how it compares to the dir-655 for g and n coverage?

Some versions of the DIR-825 are now supported by DD-WRT.

Yes! With B1 you can put on DD-WRT. It works!

Yes! With B1 you can put on DD-WRT. It works!

How does it compare to the wrt610n (v1) w/DD-WRT?

Unbalanced link speeds?

Oh my dear, after a year of buying this router, I've discovered that one of the four links is working only with 10 mbit/s. 1-3 are fine, with gigabit connection, but the number 4 is slow as hell.
I see nothing within the setup to change the speeds link by link. It has been set to Auto/10/100/1000 in general. That's it.

What could be wrong? The HW? My FW is the original one (I#m pleasant with it) 2.01b (or something).

Thanks in advance for your hints or advices,

PS: to the router are two PCs and one media player connected by wire and one DAP-1522 via 5GHz. By oversight I've connected one of my PC to the port4 instead of 3 and than I recognised this 10 mbit/s, displayed on the WinXP also. I've tried many cables without success. Back to the port 3 (or any other than 4) were the speed back again to Gbit. I'm out of ideas...

Problem solved, a reboot had help. I don't know why but it works now...
