Hi guys,
During Christmas time, I flashed 2 Dlink DIR-880L using Quarksys r34311b. Both are doing great. One is heavily loaded : DNS ; DHCP ; OpenVPN Server ; OpenVPN Client ; SSH server ; 3 SSID over 3 different IP networks ; IPTables firewall pushed using Firewall Builder and more. It has been running for over 8 days (reboot by a power failure...), it is stable and reliable.
I flashed them from the Web interface, asking to reset the config tp factory default and I re-configured them completely.

Congrats on fixing the build for this router!

I am going to try this as well on my DIR-880L (Hardware Version A2). The stock FW is so incredibly frustrating when it comes to DHCP limitations.

One thing I learned with D-Links DHCP Reservation limitations, is to set Static IP addresses out side of the routers DHCP IP address pool for those devices that don't need much router management. Devices like, printers, controllers, NAS, some phones and low priority devices, set a STATIC IP address ON the device. Save IP Reservations for those devices that need more router management and handling. Not all devices need a reservation.

I agree. But I need more than 25 reservations which the stock FW seems to provide. I hope DD-WRT does not have that limit.
I flashed to DD-WRT and I could not be happier. System is running flawless...over 30 wifi devices, not a single issue. In fact, even my wireless signal has improved on my upper floors. I am going to return the DAP-1620 as I have no need for it anymore.
I cannot understand how the stock FW cannot be improved to be more functional. Thank god for the open-source community.
I seem to be experiencing some Remote Desktop issues with this FW.
External clients can connect, but the display is blank and unresponsive.
I have also experienced where the session constantly disconnects and reconnects.
Anyone else experience this?
I got something similar which is unable to connect (once connect will disconnect and retry). End up I have to setup a QoS rule to give rdp a higher privilege.

yes, that is exactly my issue. I will try QoS. Did that seem to help for you?
