D-Link DIR-655 :: Accessing USB External HDD Connected With Apple TV2
May 26, 2011
I recently purchased the dir-655 router, and am impressed by it's speed. I had no problems configuring the router to my liking, and have found that all of my wireless devices communicate with it flawlessly.
However, my main reason for purchasing this router was for the USB port. I had hoped to connect my 2TB external drive and have it accessible by all wireless devices in my home. To my understanding, the USB port relies on the use of the Shareport Utility. I've installed the Shareport Utility to my laptop for wireless access to my media files for streaming.
Here's my problem. How can I access my media on my external HDD connected to the dir-655 with Apple TV2? I've read several options for PS3 users... and they all seem to involve leaving the pc/laptop running. I would ultimately like to bypass the necessity of leaving my laptop on... but if that's not a possibility, I can live with it being left on.
Therefore, is it possible to access the external drive connected to the dir-655 with my Apple TV 2 by using the laptop as a bridge? Can I access the content via Apple TV by using Windows SMB just as I currently do to access media stored on my laptop?
To summarize, I want to have access to the media on my external drive connected to the dir-655 via Apple TV2.

recently purchased the Wireless N D-Link Router DIR-615. After a few hiccups the router works with all of our computers, blackberry's, wireless printer and Ipod touch's however my Apple TV 1G will not connect to the network. The Apple TV will just give the error code -6 after the password for the network has been entered. I double checked that the password for the router is only WEP 10 hex digits and that it is correct have tried reseting the Apple TV to the factory settings and using the DHCP Reservation in the network settings of the router and manually configuring the TC/IP settings on the Apple TV (Not quite sure what I am doing with this though so put everything back). I have also tried switching the 802.11

I have two devices in my office which both need to be accessible externally. One is an FTP server (Hermstedt Stingray), the other is a NAS drive (Lacie). I don't have a static IP so have instead configured an account with DYNDNS. My understanding is that by using this method, only one device will be ever be accessible because of the one single dynamic IP. Is this correct? Or is there a way of configuring something somewhere (DYNDNS, router etc) so that both my devices can be accessed externally.

We have a D-Link DIR655 wireless router on our network. I have purchased two Seagate 1TB network storage units and would like to have one for me and one for my wife. It seems that the router will not support two, because they try to access the same port. How can I plug these two storage units to the router and have access for each of us to one device?

I want to know whether NAT loop back is possible with the RV220W router/firewall, or when can we expect a firmware update that addresses this?For terminology sake, what I mean is that I've got a rule that maps HTTP/S to 192.168.1.2. However, when accessing my external ip from an internal ip, I don't get routed to 192.168.1.2.

Accessing exteral address internally.
I have a mail server, with external access which works fine for external access thorugh our router (a 1941). I have a laptop which connects to a wireless network that is inside our router. When attempting to navigate to the webmail or use outlook, it cannot connect.
The laptop is configured to access the mail through the external path as it would be offsite occasionally.
I think the problem seems to be that the traffic is not leaving the router to come back internally. The laptop can ping the external address ok.
I read about something called hairpinning - is this what i need to be looking at?

I have a HP CP2025N laser printer that has been happily working on my Apple network. Now all of a sudden I keep getting a "printer not connected" error. I reset the network to no avail. I am running Lion, the printer is connected via an ethernet cable on a Apple Express routter that extends an apple extreme. Again this configuration has been running for two years now.

I have a Cisco 5505, 2 sites that are internal, 1 external IP (dhcp from cable modem). While on my laptop, ipad, iphone, I cannot access the server via it's external IP address. I MUST use the internal IP in order to access this site. I have heard of hairpinning, internal dns server(don't really want this).

Recently I'm having issues with accessing local services via external IP. Short description of configuration:
- sub.mydomain.com pointing to my external IP.
- few web services running on my local server with reverse proxy on Apache 2
- firewall on router enabled
- ips on router disabled
- single port forwarding: WAN 80->Lan 443, WAN 443->LAN 443
- accessing my services via sub.mydomain.com/service1, sub.mydomain.com/service2, etc
- I had to create a new rule in internet access policy allowing LAN, any, any to
Basicaly if I go no matter if I type http or https I will be redirected on 443. That configuration has beed working without any issues for a month. Recently I have increased the amount of DHCP users and suddenly it's not working any more. I can still access my services from outside but not from LAN.Restarting router does the trick for a while,sometimes for few minutes, sometimes longer.Enabling IPS is the way to go but then I'm limited to around 22Mbit/s. I have no idea what happend.What I can't understand that it was working, suddenly it's stopped and there are two solutions, either to enable IPS or to restart router?

we recently upgraded from an RVS4000 router which didn't have this issue.
the problem; Internal users from Site A cannot access the external owa address.From Site A i can successfully ping both the external/internal IP addresses/names and they resolve correctly, including pinging the address ('mail.company.com") resolves correctly to the external ip address.

I have recently changed my ISP and as such now have a modem router from them, however I used to have a seperate modem connected to my own router that I have already set up to have port forwarding to my CCTV, DVR and networked storage (Built into exsistine router).Since connecting the new modem router to my exsisting router I have been unable to access the CCTV, DVR and Storage from outside my LAN.
I guess this is because the devices are on the client list of my old router and not on my modem router.Is there anyway I can access the old port forwards through the new modem router, it used to be a matter of just xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9966 for example but now this would try to access the modem router and not the router it's connected to.
I have not found any options to disable the router side of it to make it act as just a modem.The hardware is a Virgin Media Super Hub model connected to a D-Link Dir-685.For arguments sake the IP address of my D-Link is 192.168.0.1 and the Super hub is 192.168.100.

A customer of ours has the following access points and wireless lan controllers on site. They want to use the Apple Bonjour service with Apple TV's and iPads. I have enabled multicast feature of the 5508 globally and one the SSID.The Apple TV has an ethernet connection and the iPads connect over the wifi. The Apple tv is on the same subnet as the iPad's - the Bonjour features do work for approx 5/10 minutes then it stops working for some reason. The Access Points plug into a Cisco 2960 Layer 2 switch, the 5508 controllers plug are in LAG mode and plug into a Nortel Layer 3 stack which I have enabled IGMP snooping.I've read that the Apple Bonjour service isnt designed to work on a multi subnet network - but both the Apple TV and iPad are connected on the same subnet. Sounds like some kind of timeout but not too sure.

how to setup the wireless interface to forward multicast packets? Basically I cant get the ipads etc.. to see the AppleTV to control it. I connected an AP and it works fine so its got to be something with the way the router handles the packets from teh integrated wireless interface. I've been searching the forum for about 1hr and haven't founf anything other than a breif mention of broadcast forwarding and multicast setup.

I have an ASA 5505 and have a problem where when I connect through VPN I can RDP into a server using its internal address but I cannot RDP to another server using its internal address.The one I can connect to has an IP of 192.168.2.10 and the one I cannot connect to has an IP of 192.168.2.11 on port 3390.Both rules are configured exactly the same except for the IP addresses and I cannot see why I cannot connect to this one server.I am also able to connect to my camera system with an IP 192.168.2.25 on port 37777 and able to ping any other device on the internal network.I've also tried pinging it and telneting to port 3390 with no success.
Here is the config.
ASA Version 8.4(4)1

I am trying to configure access to several remote offices for users who VPN into our main datacenter. The datacenter has a 5520, and the branches are connected through IPSec L2L VPNs. Branches all have 5505 or 5510's. Remote users use IPSec via the Cisco remote Client. Remote access into our data center works, and the L2L VPNs are perfect...just now that i need remote users to access the branches after Remote access VPNing (for support) i cant get that part to work.

I had a Linksys BEFSR41 router with AppleTV 1stGen with 0 problems.Now I have a DIR-655 Vb1 2.00NA firmware and itunes now cannot find the AppleTV as a device. I have tried resetting the AppleTV to factory defaults re-installing latest firmware and reinstalling itunes, powering down all devices etc., and no way can itunes find the appleTV although the appleTV is on the net and seen by the router.I have gone to a wired connection to the router too because the router kept dropping the wireless connection to the router too. Of course I got the DIR-655 for wireless

I've purchased and am trying to use a Dir-655 rev. B, running firmware 2.00NA. I have two hard-drive style Apple Tv's. They can see my wireless network, and after putting in the passcode, can connect. They at this point are visible to iTunes and can play any/all of my content. However after a period of non-use, they go into standby mode, and upon waking, can no longer connect to my network. I have to re-do the wireless each and every time

I have a iMac with 2 AppleTVs all connected to a D-Link DIR-655. I used to run iTunes on Windows 7 and everything worked fine (before I got the iMac). Here's the problem - since moving over to the Mac, when the AppleTVs are wire connected to the network, the iTunes library on the iMac will not show up in the AppleTVs. The AppleTVs work fine otherwise (they can both connect to the Internet with no problem). I also cannot see the iMac's iTunes library or the AppleTVs in the iPad's remote app. When I then disconnect the ethernet wire from the AppleTVs (so they hook up wirelessly to the DIR-655), it works fine (iTunes library on the AppleTVs, and everything is showing up in the iPad remote application). After the wireless connection is established, if I plug the ethernet wire back into the AppleTVs (to take them off wireless and force them back onto the network wired), it works fine as well, until I reboot the iMac, then back to square one with the same problem.
As mentioned, it works fine with the Windows 7 PC, but if the iMac is turned on on the same network router, same problem with the Windows 7 PC (library will not show up in the AppleTVs). As soon as I turn off the iMac, the Windows 7 iTunes libraries show up in the AppleTVs (no need to wirelessly connect). There's clearly some conflict being created with the iMac with the DIR-655 that's causing this. I've tried enabling Multicasting and port forwarding TCP 3689, and this didn't fix it either.

I have a brand new DIR-655 Rev B, Firmware 2.0NA.I just realized that none of my Apple device can discover each other using Bonjour, which is very essential for local connectivity for gaming and remote control and iTunes music streaming.

I am trying to connect to a D-Link DIR655 using a Apple G4 PowerBook equipped with an Apple Original Airport Card (802.11b) to detect WIFi signals. Trying to connect to an unsecured signal at a local Library, the computer states that there is an error connecting to the network. The Library IT checked the settings on the router and it strates the 802.11b is enabled, still there is no connection. Is there a complatibility issue witth the Orinal Airport card and the D-Link Router?

I received Apple TV and a Kobo E-Reader over the holidays, and when I try to connect them to my wireless network, they fail in connecting; even with entering the correct password. Is there something that I need to do in terms of updating, being it should connect having the correct password.

my configuration of Cisco 1841.
I was able to configure the cisco to accept VPN connections from clients. But when i am connected i can not access the VPN LAN. My cisco VPN client shows all the time Packet Decrypted: 0 when connected. I tried the split tunneling configuration based on the example on cisco.com for split tunneling.
I include config for better understanding. The outside interface is fa0/1 with ip 10.0.0.2 w LAN 10.0.0.0 Inside interface fa0/0 with ip 192.168.10.9 w LAN is 192.168.10.0
IP for VPN clients 192.168.20.100 - 105

About six months ago I replaced my old router (some generic 802.11b/g router I got for free with a rebate years ago and which lasted a few years) with a Dir-601 after the old router started intermittently cutting out. Setup of the Dir-601 was straightforward enough and I have WEP enabled. Both my Macbook and my wife's Macbook can connect fine if we choose the router from the drop-down wireless network list, and the router has been consistently reliable in maintaining a connection as long as the OS is running.
HOWEVER, neither computer will remember the wi-fi network and won't auto-connect when waking up from sleep or after a restart. Our iPhone and Android smartphones remember the network just fine and auto-connect every time, zero issues. I've gone through all the typical Mac troubleshooting steps, deleting saved network connections and re-establishing new ones. Never solves the problem. We always have to go to the wireless network menu and manually select the wifi connection to connect to.
It's not the Macbooks. Firstly, both macbooks have the same issue, and they're each running different MacOS versions, so there's no version-specific issue that can be at play here. Secondly, neither macbook had this issue with any previous wifi router. Thirdly, anywhere else we take our macbooks where we've set up a wifi connection, they remember it and auto-connect without us having to manually select the network. The only network where we have to manually select the network every time is the one set up with the Dir-601. In fact, we're at my inlaws for the holidays and our Macbooks have been auto-connecting to their router each and every time.Is there a setting I'm not seeing on the Dir-601 admin page?

I'm not exactly sure if this is a networking problem or a Windows problem. I have a Linksys ea3500 router to which I have connected a WD My Book external drive via the USB port. When I view the router's webpage, I can see my drive listed under the storage tab; however, I cannot map the drive on my laptop. Whenever I try to do so, it gives me the 0x80070035 error. If I run the Windows diagnostic, it tells me the drive will not accept the connection.

I just realized that my internet is slow when my antenna is on top of my computer. I have a pci card with an external antenna connecting to it. If it's on top of my computer, my internet is slow, but if I move it three feet in front of it, it's fast. This makes me think that my computer is somehow blocking or conflicting with the signal. Is this normal, or is there something I can fix in my computer? Download speeds with the antenna on top are around 0.54Mbps, and if I put it as far away as I can, I get around 20Mbps.

Recently my laptop, which is successfully connected to the wireless network, has failed to recognize shared folders on my desktop and the external hard drive connected to it. Laptop running 7, desktop running XP Pro. 2 days ago it was working fine. Yesterday it stopped working. I have made no changes that I can think of. All of the folders on the desktop and external drive that I want shared are set up for sharing. So, my question is, what do I need to do to again be able to read and write to these folders, especially the ones on the external hard drive. I believe the adjustment has to be made on the desktop, either in the network connections or the file sharing, but the laptop may need adjusted as well.

I am having issues figuring out how i can make AppleTV,Airprint, Airplay, etc show up on Ipads that are connected to the wireless network. The controller is at a main site which is seperated by 2800 series routers at the remote sites over 100Mbs links. Ipads connect and tunnell back to the main site. I've tried enabling FlexConnect but the devices still get the main site's addressing so i'm guessing they are still tunneling unless the AP loses connectivity to the controller. I have two SSIDs (staff and students). I have tested with just setting the staff to FlexConnect. Do I need to set both SSIDs to FlexConnect to make them dump data locally? AppleTVs are connected wired to the local networks and get addressing associated with that building.

Transfer speed for sending or receiving files from a USB external HDD connected to the router is slow? Speed ranging from 2MB - 4MB/s. The HDD is definitely capable of at least 80MB/s if plugged directly into the PC. Is it meant to be this slow or there's a fix somewhere which I'm not aware of? Thought it's suppose to be the top of the line products but seems so inferior if I were to compare with other high end routers in the market which performs better, faster and definitely much cheaper.
