D-Link DIR-655 :: Internet Connection Faster But Now Less Stable?
Sep 17, 2011
About two weeks ago, my internet connection became faster. I am not sure if it has to do with my cable ISP doing something or something I did with my computer.
Right around the same time, my connection began disconnecting every two or three days. Before this, I had a rock solid connection for two years.
It will usually reconnect after a minute. Otherwise, when I boot my computer, the problem is solved.
I am certain there is a correlation between the connection speed going up and my connection becoming less stable.
I have a DI-604 D-link router, is it necessay to upgrade to newer router to get faster access to internet? Upgrade Firmware? I have a PD950 processor with Win XP pro and use it for DAYTRADING streaming data and fast executions.
i wanted to know the reason of why my ping drops or how to make it more stable. For example i play a game called League Of Legions, which i think my connection and pc exceeds the system requirements. (Except my Video card since im using a standard which was with the MOBO.)
When im playing this game, i have a ping of 50-80, suddenly it drops to 300-500, which causes me lag (Happens multiple times in a 45min game or any). I think thats not normal, since other players dont suffer from that.
I bought a DIR-655 today so i can port trigger to all my xbox's instead of only being able to port forward to 1 xbox from my Netgear CGD24N. My problem is setting up a stable network that wont drop out.
What i am trying to set up: Internet --> Modem (Netgear CGD24N) <---> Router <---> Everything else (2 Xbox's, 5 Computers, Phone's)
I have one ethernet cord from my netgear to the internet port in my D-Link. Is that correct?
They are both set to DHCP as that is the only way i have been able to create a network that i can connect to the net through my router. Problem is it is constantly reconnecting and only getting speeds of 2mb dl and 1mb up. (I should be getting speeds of 30mb dl, 2mb up.)
I've had the DIR-655 for a few months now, along with a Motorola Surfboard sb6121 DOCSIS 3.0.Modem works fine, the router was working perfectly fine until recently last week.
I have a desktop hardwired and a wireless network going on that I use just for my mobile phone and tablet at times. At first I was having disconnection problems with my wireless, then noticed a neighbor installed a similar router in the area according to my wifi analyzer, so I changed the channels and my wireless started working great. During this process I also did a firmware update and since then I've been receiving some really poor browsing problems, sometimes I'll visit websites like Facebook, or a news website, and it'll say something about the DNS not working, (at this point I'll ping the website and it still pings fine without any loss) so I'll visit the website about 10 minutes later and it works great. I've done extensive research on forums/Google and found it must link up to the new firmware update and something about a DNS relay? My version is: Hardware Version: B1 Firmware Version: 2.10NA
In other words, is there a way I can fix this issue from disconnecting without having to downgrade back to the old firmware? Or is this a common issue they'll continue to happen? If I do downgrade, HOW do I downgrade back to the stable version?
I am having some difficulties to have a stable connection on a Cisco 881. I have a IP Sla running with an ICMP-ECHO towards the uplink router. Linked with this is a tracking on the IP SLA so I can shutdown an HRSP instance with the tracking. The desired result is with this that when the nexthop becomes unavailable HSRP switches to the second router with the backup connection.
Regardless whatever timeout or threshold, the tracking switches at a random point when the line is somewhat congested. Debugging it shows me only a time-out on the IP SLA.
Is there anything possible to get the icmp-echo to retry it 2-3 times or so before going it's status is set to failure? [code]
I recently purchased the WRT-120N router for my home network. The wireless is set to mixed mode, with WPA Personal encryption, with key renewal set at the default 3600 seconds. My problem is that the connection is not stable. I can be connected with one computer, then, as soon as another computer joins the network, I get kicked off. This happens with all of my 5 computers. In addition to this, several of my computers will not automatically connect to my network after the computer is restarted. When I try to reconect manually, it says the network is unavailable. The only way I can get back on is if I go into "Control PanelManage Wireless Networks" and delete the setting for my network, then connect again through the "Connect to a network" window.4 of my computers are running Windows Vista with a minimum of Service Pack 1. The Other is running XP with Service Pack 2.
I am trying to use some WAP4410N in client mode, not much luck.In one case they shouldt connect to different unsecured networks controlled by a Cisco 5508 controller.I can get connection to one of the SSID's but not very stable.One ssid can be seen if i switch from ap-mode to client and run a sitesurvey. If i after that run a site survey again the ssid is not shown.Cant get connected. A third ssid acts "normal" but the 4410 never connects.I have a forth case, WPA2 Personal, cant connect.Been trying fw 2.0.3.3 still no succesAre client mode not usefull at all ?
So I had an iphone 4 and switched my signal to B and G only to get better service since my iPhone 4 only had G so not worth having N.Speedtest.net is about 5.69mbps download.I got a new iphone 5 and switch to G and N mixed thinking I'd get better speeds.When I switched speeds stayed about the same.
I do want a mixed signal if possible for PS3, other iphone 4, and laptops that don't have N wireless.Is that to be expected? or is something else going on that I'm missing?I'm running Firmware Version: 1.35NA and Hardware Version: A4
my prepaid broadband connection always drops to 0 every after 30s - 1min. It increases its speed only if I load a page or download, after finish loading, speed drops again to 0.
My DIR-615 FW:2.25 HW:B2 has been running totally stable and reliably ever since it was purchased until very recently.
I have been running my entire house wireless with the following setup...
Cable Internet 25Mib down/2Mib up
Desktop PC (ASUS M32N-sli Deluxe w/integrated Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11b/g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter) Latest drivers on Win 7 Laptop PC (Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN) latest drivers, on Vista Wii
Samsung Galaxy Infuse 4G Everything was fine until my roommate bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Now I randomly lose wireless connection to every device on the network. Default gateway 192.168.0.1 becomes unreachable... resetting the router restores connectivity...
Very interesting to note is the fact that while wireless communication with the router fails, wired connections remain active with fully functional internet access.
I got an WRT160N,when I had 5mb connection it was working normal,but since I changed to 10mb,it downloads at 40kbp-100kbp,The connection is very stable,but the speed its very slow.I try to download the firmware but its with .bin extension and I don't know how to open it.
I just read online that in order to get real life high speed from your N router you need to set it to only N, or not have any other G devices connected. If not it wil fall back on the G speed.Here the text:" Wireless N claims "real world" speeds of 130-160Mbps, with a listed maximum of 300Mbps. This is reliant on the router transmitting in full 802.11n mode, which is impossible when an 802.11g device is also connected to the network."And if so. What is real life expected speed on the dir 655 on a wireless 300 card excelent connection either with pure N and then with combined N/G?
why my wireless connection on my laptop is significantly better than my wired connection to my desktop. Internet ran just fine on the desktop at my old apartment; got to the new place, and now it's having serious issues.
After working on this problem for a while, I have come to the conclusion that for some reason, I am getting serious packet loss, consistently, at a particular "hop" on my desktop, which is not present on the laptop.Here are the Line Quality tests that illustrate the problem better than I could ever describe it in words:
Laptop: Line quality test packet loss and latency | DSLReports.com, ISP Information
Desktop: Line quality test packet loss and latency | DSLReports.com, ISP Information(and it appears they both fail the initial test, but the laptop connection runs just fine).
So at that one specific hop (ae-1-0.cr0.chi10.tbone.rr.com, I have no idea what that means), my desktop connection suffers serious packet loss while the laptop is more or less OK.This discrepancy is evident in the quality of connection on my desktop, while the laptop runs just fine. Here, in summary, is what I have tried:
-Going wired through laptop using same cables, ports, and router as desktop: laptop performs flawlessly.
-Updating router firmware, NIC card drivers, and Windows on the desktop
-Full virus disk scan and boot scan using Avast; full malware scan using Malwarebytes; Windows disk defrag
All of these actions together have made the desktop connection USABLE... however it is by no means an acceptable level of quality for a cable connection, and not nearly as good as any other in the apartment gets using the same connection, whether wired or wireless.The only visible difference I can find between the laptop and the desktop is the packet loss that is present at that one hop in particular, which is extremely debilitating for the desktop's connection.

Here is the previous thread that details my troubleshooting efforts thus far; as the question has now become something entirely different, I thought it more appropriate to make a new thread. Wiresless faster than wired connection
I have 12 computers in Local Area Network, I am using 3MB DSL broadband, all PC using XP SP3 connected through D-Link Switch with IP address 192.168.0.201 to 192.168.0.212, The D-Link router gateway is 192.168.0.1Network diagram is as followsADSL modemouterIPC1, PC2, upto PC 12My problems are.1. All PC cannot access Internet, So I reset the modem, wait for a few minutes, if I am lucky, Internet comes back, sometimes have to wait longer 15mins or 30 mins2. PC12 is used for monitoring, but cannot see PC 1, the rest can see.When I try to ping, time out, but after sometimes....it came back, I can see PC 1, then disappear again.How do I solve this problems?Note, the ADSL modem provided by the Service provider looks normal, with Power, Ethernet and DSL lights ON.
have a TP-Link G router, was getting 736kb download, have set up a TP link N (300) but am only getting 560kb download, (my standard BT home hub N was also not as good giving me 640kb download....
with Wired conection results were.... TP-Link G - 752kb BT Homehub N - 648kb TP-Link N - 590kb
laptop - Dell XPS, with N wireless Windows Vista, sp2. used [URL] to check all the speeds.
why the TP-Link G is so much faster than both the BT Homehub N or the TP-Link N ?
I have recently acquired a network connection of 100Mbps download and upload, and a dir 615 with dd-wrt.
I made all the connections and configurations , and everything seems to work fine it says it's connected at 300 mbps wifi, except it is not . I tested the internet speed and got this :
80 mbps Upload 35 mbps Download
I know that connecting via wifi will loose bandwith, the problem ins't that, I just cant seem to find the cause for the download rate to be less than upload and not equal... , when connected to the cable I get a stable 100/100.
So i'm behind a fiber 100mbit connection, and for the past few weeks i've been noticing overall slowness on everything video related, from youtube to any kind of stream using flash video.If I try to watch a video on youtube it will constantly buffer, the same with stuff like ustream and the like.
The odd thing is that I have VPN service that I use to avoid regional restrictions, and when I use it to stream anything, then all the videos and streams are silky smooth and load pretty quickly which is odd since It should work on reverse. Also, a speed test through the proxy gives me no more than 10mbit, while without the proxy I get 95+mbit.
Is it something with the router? I've never heard of the ISP throttling stuff.Like I said, everything works perfectly, except video streams. I can max out torrents at more than 10 MB/s.The router im using is a D-link dir-855 (provided by my isp). I head about disabling QoS.
I cant figure it out and can not find a solution. All three computers have gigabit nics, I have gigabit router and switch, my d-link 321 is set to gigabit, the only thing on my network that is not gigabit is my printer. I'm not getting gigabit transfer speed from my computer to dlink 321. I rarely do computer to computer transfers, so I dont know what the speed is of that. The best tranfer rate is from 7-12mb. I am also using cat 5e wires on all connections. What am I missing?
I have the AE1000 adaptor on my wife's computer and direct wired on mine is the E2000.The e2000 is set to 2.4mhz and when connected to the wireless network, my wifes ae1000 shows it is connected at 144mbps.When I change the e2000 to 5.0 mhz and then my wife connects to the internet, she shows the ae1000 at 16-53 mbps. When I switch back to 2.4 she shows 144. I thought that when the e2000 is connected at 5.0 she should have a "faster connection".
I want to set my friend up on my internet so he gets faster speeds on line how do I go about doing this?I am running win 7 on an i7 with 24 gig of ram. 2 gtx 560ti
I'm currently switching from a certain internet provider to another and I'm forced to get another router. What I wanted to do is since the initial router has to be on the first floor, I'd like to have the second one on the top floor closer to my computer whereas they would share a dedicated connection between each other wirelessly so it would make my connection faster rather than just having my pc connect directly wirelessly to the initial router on the first floor. Is that possible?
I have a BEFCMU10 version 2.0 cable modem. My provider Insight Broadband has recently boosted their internet speeds. But I have found out that if my modem is not DOCSIS 2.0 compliant, I cannot get the faster speeds. How do I know if it is DOCSIS 1.1 or DOCSIS 2.0 compliant? I hope I don't have to replace the modem as it has given me absolutely no trouble since I have had it.
I just bought a "DLink Xtreme N Gigabit Router DIR-655" I configured it correctly. It works well for the wireless connection but my Lan connection (wired connection) does not work. The Lan computer connects to the router but cannot access the internet. All of my machines work OK with a Netgear G router, including the Lan computer.
My DIR-655 has worked for 2 years, but can no longer access the internet. My ISP is (Rockbridge Global Village -sub of Ntelos) and my modem is a Zhone. My connection type is DHCP, QoS is set to active, and the IP address boxes are not being filled in. The cables check out ok and there is no problem connecting to the internet if I bypass the DIR-655 and connect direct to the modem. Hardware is A4 with firmware 1.21
Nothing has changed in the house with regards to new cordless phones or wireless devices and I am using the same Zhone modem. I have tried returning to factory defaults and reconfiguring.
I have bought a new router to my parents these days, it a DIR-615 HW H1 firmware version 8. We have a ZyXEL Prestige 2000 series DLS modem.
There is no problems with connection to the DIR-615 router, but the strange problem occurs when I plugs in the internet cable. At the beginning the internet start to work fine but after some time the internet does not work anymore. What may cause the problem? The internet works if I plug the internet cable in my computer and it also work with the old router.
Yesterday, my linksys router broke down suddenly. I went to the store and bought a new one, a d-link DIR-615. After plugging it in and setting it up, i tried loading web pages and it worked ok. It wasn't as fast as my linksys router but it was fine. When i tried loading youtube videos, that wasn't the same story. The videos didn't load. It started playing but then stopped after a couple of seconds. When i connected my computer directly to the modem, the videos loaded fast. There seems to be something wrong with the video streaming.
I recently bought a dlink 825 and it seems right out of the box the wired internet connection seems very poor. Wireless works fine but it on wired the router refuses to download any files larger than 300kb. Images won't load, files won't downloads, etc. I've swapped cables, tried two different computers, hard reset, loaded the 3.01 firmware and nothing seems to work. I went back to my old router and it works fine. I am able to transfer from computer to computer okay with the 825,The cable modem is a SA dpc2100.
