I have had the DIR-655 for two years now. I have NEVER had to reboot it. The only time it was ever rebooted was about 10 months ago when I had to move it to a different location so had to unplug it (which of course meant it was rebooted and uptime reset). My uptime info in this D-Link DIR-655 was like 300 days or something.
Recently I have taken an interest in the all popular Asus RT-N16, which has a faster processor, more flash memory, and more RAM. If I ever get it, the plan is to run Tomato on it.
I don't know how much faster you can go comparing to the DIR-655. DIR-655 (A4, Firmware 1.21, which is extremely stable) is very popular as well.
Having been to a few friends' places and tested a few things, I realized that the primary router's ability actually makes a difference to your Internet speed (especially if you have a crappy router).
My question is, if the DIR-655 has all the configuration features I need (including port forwarding, virtual server...)...
- Will I see any speed increase with Asus RT-N16?
- Will the stability remain the same (which is insanely stable thus far with DIR-655) with Asus RT-N16?
My network is not overly complicated, but I do have a wireless bridge, about 7 computers (some wired, some wireless), TiVo, Xbox 360, and some port forwarding and translation, static DHCP, and stuff set up.
I figure there are a lot of SNBers who own DIR-655 as well as many who love their Asus RT-N16...
Thank you for your insight!
