D-Link DIR-655 :: Internet Earth Icon Flashing Forever?
Jan 4, 2011
I read somewhere this is to show that the connection is unstable? My modem works fine, and it works fine being plugged directly into my PC.
But going through the modem, I am noticing some drops in speed and spikes of high latency. This icon - the little earth/internet icon - has never flashed for a long period of time before. I've power cycled it (unplugged for over 5 mins) and it persists.
Does it need a firmware upgrade? Is it something I did? Faulty hardware?
My internet has been dropping out over and over. Im connected via ether cable on my desktop with windows seven to my belkin router however on the router the wireless icon is flashing orange indicating something wrong. I rang my internet provider and they said its not them, when I troubleshooted the problem it came up with DNS server isnt responding. I tried looking through posts and tried restoring my router to factory default but nothing has worked.
Is it normal for the "CISCO" icon/light to "fast flashing" periodically - not to be confused with the "slow flashing" that the E4200V2 displays when being "power cycled"?
I've blocked all traffic on port 80 (Advanced-Access Control- Apply Advanced Port Filter- All IP range and Port 80 selected) to avoid any kind of Web Access. I won't use Web Filter because there are too many URLs to be blocked.
However I have a problem to keep Google Earth working, since it uses port 80.
Is there a way to keep Google Earth working, even blocking traffic on Port 80? I've tried configuring an application rule to let Google Earth working, but it didn't work (it seems that I can not create an exception for Filter Port) .
I upgraded then downgraded from 2.00 to 2.03 back down to 2.00, and whenever I'm doing about 600kB/s+ it resets itself. Drops connection drops wireless, wired, and the globe internet icon goes Lambert/orange. I've reset the router to default and it still does that. What could be the cause?
I've done a lot of changing around, disabling unicast, changing from WPA Auto to WPA2, etc etc, I just changed the router to Netgear WGR614 v7 and it works perfectly fine now.
I was replacing a bad cap on my DIr-615 and noticed I have the 635(or 625?) board except there is no USB port or 3rd antenna soldered on.I soldered on a 3rd antenna from an old linksys router but don't know if it's working.If I flash the DIR-635 FW(I'm using DD-wrt) will it work fine and enable the antenna to work? Will having a third antenna even be beneficial at all for range and signal strength?I plan on flashing DD-wrt firmware for the 635 if that makes any difference.
Had this Dlink Air plus router with an wireless adator set up on with a PC running win Vista, but as the PC had problems I tried it with older XP PC and it worked fine for about 5 weeks but tonight the wireless adaptor on my desk has stopped flashing and I could not access the internet so I decided to try the Vista PC and it works fine on there, while it can get me online I would still like to fix the D Link to work with the older PC again, what is the problem as it is a faster more reliable PC
How to flash a DIR-601 Rev B1 with any of the custom firmwares out there? I've tried all of them this morning and haven't had any luck. I set the router to recovery mode and tried openwrt, dd-wrt, tomato, and gargoyle. I tried with chrome, firefox, ultra simple web browser, and ie 8. Every attempt resulted in "Upgrade Failed". I know Rev A1 is supported by DD-WRT, just sucks newegg sent me a B1. Looks like several other routers run similar hardware, so it's got to be doable.
what should to do if ever or incase something happen during flashing firmware.like power turn off, or you quit the installation, or wrong .bin file.what i did is upgrade the firmware dlink dir 615 3.03 ww c2 to ddwrt factory.bin but before that i have save the original .bin from 192.168.1.1 for incase restore original setting.i did not follow the instruction that get latest firmware from dlink but what i did is restore or use emergency to reback the 3.03 ww c2 .bin from my dlink that i was save from original setting. and it didnt work out it failed the router totally stopped working and functioning. only the dlink name light is on. even the reset button dont work or dont blink.what should we do for this kind of fault is there another way to return the setting back? no ethernet and wifi so no way of communicating with router. the router ethernet and wifi has stopped working. but the computer homw network is detecting the router whenever i plug it in computer through Ethernet but the local area network when plug to router is disconnected. the router wifi is not blinking either.

The sun sign on the modem has been flashing for a couple of days but I am still getting the internet. Is there anyway I can find out why its doing this? I have tried rebooting but still starts to flash.
I have a new Lenovo Ideapad laptop and Im having problems connecting to internet using ethernet cable. The thing is this problem occurs only at one particular place (dorms) because Im having no internet problems at other locations.
It looks like this: I connect using ethernet cable, Windows 7 identifies the network and everything looks normal, but there is no internet when I open a browser (I tried IE, Firefox and Chrome). It just loads and loads and sometimes it loads my Google homepage, but only after approximately 30 seconds or it does not load it at all. The same applies for other pages - they do not load or they load after a minute, but the pages are incomplete, they look like HTML
When I do a ping at CMD, it shows the same problem, the replies are slow or it shows "request timed out". I tried pinging various pages or IPs with same results. The only thing Im able to ping normally is the IP of my network adapter. My IPv4 is set to automatic, but I also tried manual parametres, just in case.I tried 3 different cables, switching antivirus and frewall off, did spyware search, switching IPv6 off, switching WiFi off, reseting the main dorm router etc etc...
Strange thing is that my laptop works perfectly anywhere else (home, work...) so I suppose there is no problem with the configuration of my laptop or network adapter, BUT the internet provider says there is no problem with their network or router since other laptops works normally at THAT location (even my other laptop does work there), so mine Lenovo is the only laptop which is having problems... and when I check the properties of the network, upload is always higher than download, but generally both are very small one more strange thing: I can watch live stream videos using one particular software and I can download torrents quite normally, but loading Google and other pages is a major problem, even Outlook or Google Earth/Talk does not work properly
I've had a DIR-601 for about a year now. Since I've got it I get errors telling me the DNS server is unavailable randomly, so I reset my modem and router, do the ipconfig windows commands, but this time it seems as if the wireless isn't working. This computer is connected to the router via wire and can connect to the internet just fine, but any wireless devices cannot. On the front of the router the wireless icon is just blinking. Also, I am not able to connect to the router login page through it's IP address, it just times out.
when i open the network folder i do not see icon of the router. when i was dsl-2641b the icon showing under network infrastructure panel but now i do not see this panel. if i open network and sharing center an then i open "see full map" i see the router icon.
My EA4500 is not working. The power indicator light is on but the green and yellow lights on the Internet port are not flashing and the modem the EA4500 is connected to show no activity on that port. Also, the EA4500 is not broadcasting so I can't even connect to it to use Cisco Connect to troubleshoot. I tried resetting it but it did nothing. This has happened before but is usally fixed with a reset.
So I just got this new WRT160Nv2 router. I have (1) wired computer and then my laptop running wireless to it. For the first couple days I had some issues getting consistant internet but after reading some stuff on here I downgraded to the version 8 hardware and it worked GREAT for about 3 days. Now my power light won't stop flashing and I have NO internet connection at all through the router. I have tried to reset the router by holding down the button and also unpluging it but still nothing.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. Ever since I installed some Bluetooth software the internet connection icon has displayed a red X and is not reporting on the real name for my router. It only says 'Network 2 Internet access Unidentified network No internet access'. I have seen a previous post on this subject in this forum, but I want to clarify EXACTLY what I would need to do to fix the problem. According to Device Manager I have two entries under Network Adaptors: NVIDEA nForce Networking Controller VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter (I am using VirtualBox to run Windows 8 and Ubuntu). If I were to uninstall the NVIDEA driver what would I reinstall? The existing version on my hard disk somewhere? I used Update Driver and it said I had the latest drivers so I assume that's what I have available locally.
Out of all the computers in my house there is one computer that does not seem to be able to get an internet connection. Usally I would fire up the computer, then unplug and put back in the wireless device and it would start working but just recently no matter what I try it will not work. When I set the computer up to connect with a static ip, i get a local connection only (or at least thats what networking centre says) and when i rely on dhcp i get 'identifying network' forever. No network settings have been changed and I have tried an ethernet connection as well which also didn't work. I have tested the wireless device on another computer and it works fine.
XP Pro SP2 New Install - No Internet Connection (Icon)I just did a full install of XP Pro SP2 on a new 3 TB drive. I have downloaded all the most recent drivers for this motherboard. I'm running an EVGA NForce 680i SLI Motherboard (model# 122-CK-NF68). However the problem Im having is that in the Network Connection window there is no 'icon' to configure for my ethernet connection. I have looked at the Device Manager and ALL components are working properly. There are no 'X' or '?' labelled on any of the Network devices. I have done a ton of research on this Forum and have tried a dozen things and still can't seem to figure it out. I dont have intermediate syndrome so I'm not willing to take any chances with something I don't know.
I think my computer is infected with malware right now. It is heating up quickly and I'm seeing ads in text in websites that don't do that (cbc, reddit, wikipedia).I had this issue a couple of months ago but Spybot seemed to fix the issue.Recently I noticed my computer was heating faster (and hotter) than usual so I ran a search and it said no threats were found. Not too longer after I start noticing the ads again so I know there is a problem. I have ran the search twice since then and still nothing. I was advised to use ccleaner,malwarebytes, and Super Anti-Spyware. It removed one other threat but the problem was still there. I then started using combofix, but I did not like the look of it so I stopped that scan. It seemed a little sketchy.
My old laptop (the one I'm on now) and my girlfriend's laptop work fine. I connected it with the Ethernet cord and that didn't change anything.I have Windows 7. It's on a 2010 Samsung (I'm not very tech savvy so I'm not sure about all the other details). I primarily used Firefox, but I just switched to Googlechrome this week (well after the problems began).
I am getting a small yellow icon in my wireless settings that suggests that there is no internet connectivity even when I do have the internet. It comes when i disable and enable the wireless adapter or when its left idle. My ipconfig and DNS settings are fine.
Data collection runs forever (since this morning). Also an reboot of the LMS server didnt work. Checked all processes and ani.log -OK. After reboot, the time stemp for Toplogy changed from 8:00 to "Not Available"

I have a Dell Latitude D620 and my wireless isn't working. It worked before but then I had a malware/spyware on my computer that blocked my wifi and when I managed to get the program off, my wifi still wouldn't connect. It's not the wireless card because I bought an external one and it did the same thing. It's not my router because my other computer connects to the internet.
I was login with my "router password" to my EA4500 yesterday without problem, after I brought another EA4500 today and try to find out my existing EA4500 configuration.I just can't login..I mean it just stay forever on the "Waiting..." screen after I enter the "router password"
-no luck with changing browser, I try ie, firefox, chrome, is still the same -no luck with other pc, I try login with another notebook or pc, is same.. -no luck with switch off, I try refresh button once, same..and try to turn it off 5 minute and try again..same
I'm using my home desktop to make this post. This is issue is with my Dell laptop that--up till an hour ago--had a wireless area connection icon in the lower right corner and a Wireless Area Network option when I went to "Network Connections" (I still have my LAN option.) I was using a Driver Whiz program to update all my drivers when it said I needed some Intel Wireless Config program. So I downloaded it but at the end I had no Internet access and no icon, etc. So I uninstalled that program but it was too late. I've even tried a system restore to a few hours prior to this mistake of mine to no avail. My husband says I need to connect hardwire to the Internet and download a WAN driver...is that correct?
I have an HP Pavilion PC and am running Windows Vista. My browser is IE. Recently, I have noticed a RED X over the wireless icon on the lower right section indicating that I am not connected to the internet however, I am. In the last couple days my connection has actually started dropping off while in use.
Belkin F5D8236-4 v1 The Internet flashes amber and goes back to solid blue. It will stay blue on average for up to five minutes (this is not exact times) but on average it happens every five minutes. This is a constant issue. I've contacted my ISP (Comcast) and they said all looks fine on their end. My signals to them are just fine.
Sure, I can bypass the router all together, but my modem will NOT allow me to see any logs to know the issue is happening on their end. I'm feeling a bit confident its a router issue though.
I've reset both Modem and Router. I've made sure my connection was set to Dynamic. My router/security log does not offer up anything at the times this happens, but I do see several listings for "sending OFFER to a local IP of one of our laptops, but this does not match the times the router net light goes amber.
Yes, when the amber light is flashing on the globe/internet icon, I can still access my router page, but it does say DISCONNECTED. It will eventually go back to connected in a few minutes. This router is not very old and I've always praised Belkin routers, so crossing fingers my router is okay, times are tough for so many of us.
Problem: I bought my wife and I each a Gateway NV54 laptop this past year. While both of our laptops can acquire a network connection, she is able to browse the internet almost immediately, while my computer takes 30 seconds to a minute longer to connect to the same network, and then can take up to 3 minutes before any web browser recognizes the connection. This happens on every connection I make (school, work, home, etc.)Steps I have taken:
-Updated the driver for my wireless adaptor (Atheros AR5B93 Wireless Network Adapter), and nothing changed.
-Windows 7 service pack (6.1)
-Downloaded AVG, Spybot, Advanced System Care, and IObit Security and run scans in all 4 at least 3 times a week.
-Cleaned up hard drive files so that each of my two hard drives is less than 70% full.
-Removed superfluous internet connections and prioritized the important connections I use regularly.
I have an Inspiron E1705 and my wireless card/adapter takes about 3 minutes to load each log in. I called Dell, and they couldn't find out what was wrong. We tried things from internet settings, to shutting off all the start ups in MS Config. I've had this problem for a very long time. Windows will start up, and it seems like there is a 3 minute wait period of my computer doing nothing, and then finally, the wireless loads in my System Tray.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron N5010.
I have had this problem for several weeks, and have searched all over to find a solution (tried them all, but none have fixed it). I have a good wireless internet connection, and sometimes I use ethernet. Despite having such connections, my wireless internet icon doesn't change, as it seems to keep getting stuck on the icon which shows a red x over the ethernet image.
It will show the blue loading ring with the bars as it searches for a wireless connection for a little bit, but then it goes to the same, incorrect icon, even though when I put the cursor over the icon it says "Internet Access".
So far, I've tried deleting the Icon Cache and rebooting, as it was suggested that it could be potentially corrupted, but the internet icon stays the same. I have also tried searching for a driver that could be potentially related to the issue and uninstalling it, but it didn't work. The red x went away for a moment, being replaced by a loading blue ring, but then the red x returned (same icon image).
Is there a specific driver for the icon itself? I know I had to uninstall a driver then reboot to get my battery icon back after it mysteriously disappeared. I also have tried deactivating/reactivating my wireless connection by hitting the button, but it doesn't change.
