Update 31-01-2010: There is a new firmware version 1.33NA final that can be found here.
D-Link has released a new firmware for the DIR-655, version 1.33b01NA.
It’s not known yet what has been changed though it appears to be working quite well for people.
You can get it here.
Remember that this is the North American firmware so while it is compatible with other countries’ hardware it cannot be downgraded to pre 1.3x NA firmware OR to any other country’s firmware, so once you go NA, you can’t go back.
Please visit the D-Link forums post about it here before you install the firmware as this doesn’t have support from the usual places. Feedback can be left in this forum post.
Also let us know how it goes in the comments below.

Sorry for the typo
First, extract the bin file from the zip file somewhere on your PC, then go to your router Admin page in your browser, by default it is 192.168.0.1, log in and go to the Tools Menu, then into the Firmware sub-menu.
In the Firmware Upgrade section click browse and find/select the bin file you extracted, then click upload, if all goes well your router should have the latest firmware installed.
Here is the official instructions at D-Link’s website: http://www.dlink.com/support/faqDetail/?prod_id=2462
By the way it may reset your configuration, it did for me, so make sure you remember or write down anything specific you have changed from the defaults in the past.
Since my upgrade to 1.33 the router is not visible even though I have checked the option making it so. Prior clients still connect but it is not visible to a wireless network inventory. Is there something else I need to be considering?
That’s an odd occurrence, mine was visible after the upgrade by default, though as I mentioned previously it did reset my configuration so that might have something to do with it.
Perhaps it’s not registering the setting correctly, have you tried resetting the config and then manually re-entering the wireless settings? If not, perhaps reinstalling the firmware might help, if that doesn’t work it’s probably best to leave D-Link feedback about it.
no release notes? Hmm, I hope I won’t get burned again like with the 1.32NA version, the DNS bug. it should be downward compatible with 1.32b09NA, right? :-S
I wouldn’t worry, it’s down-gradable all the way to 1.30 like the rest.
1.33刚升完，试用没有问题了，不过我是中国的用中文，1.3倍无法回去，希望更新用中文，谢谢
They’ve come out with a non-beta version of 1.33NA.
You may want this page for downgrading to pre-1.3x firmware.
Iam looking for a firmware to support 3G. My firmware now is 1.21. Need help.
I’ve downloaded the new firmware. It goes through the firmware process, but comes back up as 1.32
1.21 already supports 3G, I’m using (one of them) at the moment.
Have you tried 1.33NA Final from the link at the top of the post? Try upgrading to that instead.
