Hello

I have replaced my old router with DIR-615 from D-Link, and now the port forwarding is so slow it makes the router practically useless.
Accessing the router itself (admin UI) is without issues, no delay whatsoever. But when I try to access a service on another computer in the network the requests take minutes and minutes. (E.g. I can see source of my GWT-app main page, but loading additional CSS and JS files takes years.)

If anyone could recommend any further diagnostics I should do to figure out what is happening it would be great.

Few notes:

  • happens with more services (web-app on Tomcat, viewing directory index via Apache)
  • it does not make a difference whether the service is hosted on wired or wireless PC
  • accessing the service on a localhost works fine
  • turning off firewall on the target PC does not make difference either (makes sense)
  • when I replace this router with the old one (both 192.168.1.1) everything works fine
  • I see nothing suspicious in the router's log
  • I believe I have the latest firmware (4.11)
  • DIR-615 sucks, it already died once completely
