The manufacturer’s default settings shown in the router’s web admin user interface show defaults that are quite unsuitable. It is important to enable the ‘bitswap’ option for best reliability and performance in most cases. (See [http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=13296.0 discussion of bitswap].) This choice of default seems so odd that perhaps this is just a bug in the DLink software and the bitswap feature really defaults to ‘enabled’. (Needs a volunteer to do reliability testing to compare the two cases.)
The manufacturer’s default settings shown in the router’s web admin user interface show defaults that are very much sub-optimal. It is important to enable the ‘bitswap’ option for best reliability and performance in most cases. (See [http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=13296.0 discussion of bitswap].) This choice of default seems so odd that perhaps this is just a bug in the DLink software and the bitswap feature really defaults to ‘enabled’.

These settings need to be configured as follows:
