Hi

I have two identical DAP-2553s. One is set for 2.4GHz, the other is set for 5GHz. I have been having issues with 5Ghz stability for some time and after eliminating my particular unit as the cause, I tried rolling back the firmware to 1.12. WOW! 5GHz stability once again! Streaming connections that used to stay up for only a few minutes are now back to staying up for days!

One thing I noticed: With 1.20, the signal strength of all my clients was 95% and higher. When falling back to 1.12, they're all in the 70% range. Again, this is only for 5GHz.

2.4Ghz performance appears flawless with 1.20.

I hope this is useful to someone.

Interesting - I have this unit and have been very happy with it as a 2.4 GHz router. Will have to check it out in 5 GHz and report back.
