If you’re trying to upgrade your D-Link DIR-655 Extreme-N Gigabit Wireless Router to the latest firmware (1.35NA US version as of this post), you may encounter a weird problem: firmware uploads without errors, router says it is being reprogrammed, but after reboot old version is displayed.

To solve it – try following these steps

1. Save your current settings (Tools -> System -> Save Configuration) – you should do it prior any update anyway
2. This what does the trick: On the same screen click “Restore Factory Default” – this will restore router default settings (one more reason why it’s important to do the update over wired connection)
3. Flash your firmware
4. Restore setting saved in Step 1 and reboot the router
5. Profit! You’re now on the latest firmware
