iPad and D-link Dir-615

has anyone had any success with this d-link dir-615 router? the best i can get is 512k-1mps down with the following settings:

qos off
g only (mixed are slow and B is a little faster but too slow for my other computers)
wpa2 (tkip and AES)
channel 11 (auto scan and all other channels are really slow)

this is my 3rd router i have tried and am getting really ****** ... ipad screams at the apple store and runs pretty ok on Panera's free wifi which is the 3rd party that the "genius" tested it on)... apple store suggested i buy their $300 apple airport router.

the new firmware did nothing for me

Apple has no fix except i should be using all Apple equipment which is so not going to happen.

Although this thread is quite old, I experienced similar problems with my DIR-615 (REv. D) and a new iPad recently and therefore want to add a possible solution without new investment costs. Running flawlessly during the first weeks, the problems with lost WLAN connections and bad transfer rates increased continuously from then on. The latest firmware upgrade didn’t help.

I found the hint to www.dd-wrt.com in another forum, installed the alternative firmware from them and, although the signal quality still does not exceed 30%, did not experience any connection losses again, could reduce the output strength of my router without loss in signal quality and have a fairly nice connection speed now.
