D-Link DIR-655 :: Picky Router Acts Up When Mac PowerBook Is Connected
Oct 11, 2011
My D-Link655 is 6 months old. Liked it so much that I bought one for my sister in-law, and my mother/father in-law. Whenever my son's Mac PowerBook Pro (latest Mac OS) is on the network (WiFi) the router intermittently stops working. It loses connection for both WiFi and Wired (at the same time). The intermittent issues seem to disappear when he disconnects the MacBook Pro.
-Current Firmware Version :1.32NA
-Current Firmware Date :2009/07/09
Perhaps it is coincidence, but it seems when the Mac is connected, the router fails every so many minutes (both WiFi and Wired). When the Mac is disconnected, the intermittent issues are gone.

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?

Got a new EA6500 a few days ago and from the start it acts as if times out and goes to sleep. Any time I enter a URL i get a long pause then the website unavailable message... refresh a few times then suddenly it works fine. this is for both connected and wireless. Even when I have the Linksys Smart WiFi open, I'll get a pop-up message that no router connected, then it goes away and everything is fine. Sometimes the old Windows Network message pops up asking me to connect. Works fine once it's "ON", but always have to refresh page a few times to get it to wake up.

We have recently purchased a Cisco 4506 that has several Gigabit Ethernet modules installed.One of the Ethernet Gigabit modules - a WS-X4424-GB-RJ45 - is being picky with who it talks to at Gigabit Ethernet.
If I plug a laptop into one of it's RJ45 ports using a Cat 6 cable, nothing happens. No link light, no notification of link up or down on port statistics, absolutely nothing.If I plug a server into the same port it works fine at Gigabit Ethernet (even using the same Cat 6 cable).I can get the module to recognize a laptop if I fix the speed/duplex on the laptop to 100Mb/Full. I have tried this with other staff laptops from different vendors (HP / Dell / etc.) all with the same result.
The module directly underneath this module - a WS-X4448-GB-RJ45 - works fine for both laptops and servers. We have tried swapping the module positions but to no avail.

this is something that's been bugging me for quite a while now.At home I use both a laptop and a PC connected to the network through a wireless router.I get my internet from Comcast and so far am very happy with the speed etc. The router is now 4 years old (Linksys).The thing is that I cannot download certain things at home (no firewalls) but when I take the PC to work,I can download them without a problem.The programs I'm referring to is usually Microsoft related programs (Outlook connector, Silverlight etc...). When I try downloading, it opens a small ie window with an error message, and at the next step it says link is broken.

I have 4 Catalyst 2960 connected via Etherchannel to each other. If I plug in my notebook in one port, I see the traffic from the neighbor port. So my switch acts like a hub.. I had a look at my MAC table and saw it isn't full.

I've recently installed a new WRT610N router onto my small business network. Previously my network was as follows: Modem - Server - LAN where the server acts as a gateway using routing and remote access.
The addition to the setup now has the router between the modem and the server itself. After configuring everything - and DISABLING the router firewall and as last resort opening the server to the DMZ i'm having serious issues opening specific ports but not others.
To be specific - the server is sitting in the DMZ open right now. In my routing and remote access any port that I have being forwarded over to another computer is open from the internet with no issues. The problem lies with ports that need to be opened on the server itself with 127.0.0.1 where i'm getting a "connection timed out" from canyouseeme.org.
Why the local opening of ports is having issue? Before the router was installed everything worked great - however the router is needed for wifi and it cannot be configured as an access point only.

How do you determine who's connected to my wireless router?
I can see the "lan computers" section under the "device info" section under "status". It lists computers that were connected yesterday but have been powered down for at least 12 hours? Renew'ing or releasing the router doesn't update the list.
Also is there a way, from my router, to force a computer off my network?

So I have a DIR-825, I got from a family member as they didn't need it anymore. (Don't know if its under any warranty at all) I have a few different problems with it:
1. It doesn't install correctly. I insert the disc, the "Checking adapter enabled" finishes quickly and easy. Then the "Checking network status..." goes for about 30 seconds - 1 minutes and then I get the "Your new router does not appear to be connected properly." It gives the Follow these steps message of checking connections/resetting/etc, which I have done multiple times without success.
2. Despite the failed install, I DO get an internet connection. It starts to get weird though. I have 3 different connections currently connected to it with the following properties:
Modem>Computer (Wired) - 16 MB/Second
Modem>Router>Computer (Wired) - 3 MB/Second
Modem>Router>Laptop (Wireless) - <1 MB/Second
Modem>Router>iPhone (Wireless) - 13 MB/Second
I've tried looking through the options on my router but nothing looks like it will work .

had this same problem last year and by a fluke i was connected to the internet so my wireless printer could access web services but one of my computers connected to the router kept disconnecting from the internet so i had to change the settings now i want to try to get the router connected to the internet again. my wireless network has no internet access so i know the router isnt connected to the internet but i am online right now through the router. My ISP is AOL Canada. I also had a message on the computer saying that the DNS server isn't responding. Also my internet has no network access. Also i had the router set for DHCP NOT PPPoE or whatever its called. also what DNS should i put for the setting or do I need to put that on router setup page for the internet. Also is there any way of stopping the other computer from disconnecting from the internet once i get the router connected to the internet? One more thing on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen where the wireless icon is theres a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in over it how do i get rid of that when i had the router connected to the internet last year the yellow triangle was gone. And right now on the network map its showing an x through the line going from the router to the internet which i know means theres no internet from the router.

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 recently bought my dir-615 to hook up with my tp- td 8816 modem. After setting it up and successfully working one day, the router randomly stopped sending a WiFi signal. I restarted it twice and it began to work once more. I decided to install dd wrt build 21061 for my E3 dir -615 router. Unfortunately, i could not get it to work. I have dsl internet and my isp uses PPPoE. I used the option for the set up and filled out the appropriate information, but it would not work and the internet light on the router would turn orange.
Unfortunately i decided to play around with this router at the wrong time and the people in my house needed it. I decided to quickly re flash it by going into the emergency room(holding reset button during router reset until orange button starts blinking). However when i select the official d link firmware, it simply will not change. The page is stuck loading on the d-link emergency room page with no progression whatsoever. I tried the process 3 times already.
For some reason, i can connect to the router through WiFi but not through cable. When i connect through WiFi i am on the dd wrt firmware. I don't think i can return the modem to the store since it is clearly on DD WRT firmware.
I'm either looking for a solution to re flashing back to stock firmware, or making the internet work on the dd wrt firmware. The internet light turns orange when i select PPPoE on the set up...

My desktop recently broke so i bought my first laptop. I have AT&T DSL and i bought a new D-Link DSL-2640B modem/router so i could have wireless internet. I installed it and i was able to use it with the ethernet cable, however when i tried to use wifi, it worked for only about 2 minutes before it disconnected.. Now when i try again it says that it is connected (full 5 bars) but it also says there is no internet access and i cannot use the internet.
Also, before, with the old modem i was able to just connect the ethernet cable to the laptop and just start using the internet. Now i have to connect by putting in my username and password provided by my ISP almost like if it was dial up. I don't know why i have to do this now but not before.

Since the blackout beginning of this week from dlink I had to reset my camera totally to operate it again. works now again with iphone and with mydlink. But it only works as long it is connected via lan cable to my router. I accessed the set up (via ipaddress) and entered the router details to the setup but as soon I disconnect from lan it does not work anymore. What did I oversee.

I have recently purchased the portable TP link 3020 which is a great solution for me in order to get wifi for multiple users till I get through the long process of getting ADSL in Turkey.The thing is that the 3G bundle Turkcell provided me with is not identified by the modem, so I looked it up on the internet and I found out that I needed to add the bin of the bundle, I searched within the list published on TPLINK website but without any luck.... finally I found the bin I was looking for in another country list... mine is Huawei E353 and the one I found is Huawei E353s2. Anyway I added the bin and still not luck identifying the bundle, I finally resorted to upgrade the firmware which I hate because I always worry of the bad consequence of failure, and unfortunately I was right! Once I upgraded the firmware, I couldn't get connected to the router, it keeps asking me for the key, but without any success! I tried hardware reset by holding the WPS button for 5 seconds as suggested in the manual, but any further success!

I have a setup where there are two networks. A 172.16.0.0/16 and a 10.1.0.0/16 that are separated by the dlink router. I am able to ping from the 172 network to the 10 network using a laptop that is directly connected to the router and that laptop can also browse the web fine. However, I cannot ping to that router or access that subnet at all from the 10 network (if I try to access its LAN (the 172 network)). The 172 network is on its LAN and the 10 network is its WAN. I can access its WAN fine. Also, there the router is not recognizing the laptop as a "directly connected deivce" but its not preventing the laptop from using the router. I have tried to make the router as least secure as possible but still nothing.
I thought about making Static Route to point towards the router's LAN but the only option it gives me is the WAN for the exit interface.

During an installation, we plugged a Ruckus wireless bridge (powered by a PoE injector) into G0/0 on the 1941. The port status remained down/down. We then tried connecting it to G0/1. Again, the port status remained down/down. We took another wireless bridge, plugged it into G0/0 and the port changed to up/up status within a few seconds. The same happened when connected to G0/1. Both ports are have speed/duplex set to auto/auto.We took the cable from the first wireless bridge and connected it a 3550 switch, the FastEthernet port went up/up. We then took the cable and connected it to a switchport card (HWIC-4ESW) that was installed in the 1941 router. The port came up/up.We connected to wireless bridge back to G0/0 in the 1941 and manually set the speed/duplex to 1000/full. The link light on the router became illuminated after a few seconds but no console message was displayed (nor did any events appear in the log) and a "show int g0/0" showed the port status as down/down. This was could not be duplicated as this only happened one time The wireless bridges sit atop of a water tower and are connected each via a shielded ethernet cable. The cable that we're having trouble with is cat5e STP and about 310feet in length. I should note that we have not yet swapped the PoE injector but it seams to be functioning properly as power is getting to the wireless bridge and its accessible. Also because if the wireless bridge for some reason didn't come back up after a power cycle it would potentially mean climbing the tower to perform a hard reset. We tried another 1941 with same results however we have not tried another router model to rule out a potential platform issue. Can you recommend any troubleshooting steps to determine why the port status of the gig interfaces on the 1941 don't come up?

My 655 router (RevB, Firmware 2.03) is connected from one side to a DSL modem and on the side to two wired PC's and via wi-fi to several other wireless clients (two smart phones and two notebooks). All is well until I try to connect a specific notebook. Connection is estabished for about 30sec and then the router drops ALL connections (including internet and local network!) and I must re-start him by un-plugging from power. This phenomena is specific to a specific notebook since with the other one

I'm have a D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N 300 Router. I didn't use the CD it comes with to set up the network. Instead I configured it manually through the router's settings that are accessed via a web browser.
The main changes I made are:
Secured the router so that a password is required before clients can use the wireless internet. Broadcasting 802.11N only (not B or G).
I can connect to the router just fine and I'm able to access the internet. The only problem is that I don't see any of the other computers in my LAN. When I try connecting to another Wi-Fi router that I have (which is connected to the same network), I can see all of the computer's on my LAN just fine. Therefore, I'm guessing that the reason I can't connect to the LAN is not a problem with my computer and is a problem with the router instead.
I'm on a MacBook Air running Mac OS X 10.6.6.

I have the A1 version. I originally bought it and used it for a few months. I was very disappointed with the performance and went back to my Linksys WRT54G (running DD-WRT).
I recently decided to try it again. I upgraded to firmware 1.13. It worked pretty well for a week or so but now I am considering going back to my Linksys again. I keep losing my internet connectivity. The signal can be strong but internet becomes unavailable. Sometimes, just waiting it out works. Sometimes, disconnecting and re-connecting works. Sometimes, a reboot of the router works. Sometimes, nothing seems to work until it is good and ready to work. Sometimes, I cannot access the internet on my computer but my girlfriend still can. Sometimes, neither of us can connect.
I want to use it because I want the wireless-N speed to transfer files to my media center (and I paid a lot of money for it!) but the aggravation is getting to be too much.
There seems to be some correlation between visibility of my neighbors' networks and the connectivity issues but I could not swear to that. This is amazing to me because my neighbors are pretty far away and I can barely get the DIR-825 signal from my basement to my second floor.

Should the DIR-655 list all devices that are accessing either my WAN or another device on the LAN, assuming there are no other switches on the network, and all traffic is going through the DIR-655?
I was trying to determine the IP, and MAC address of an AT&T Microcell connected to my network. I have no physical access to Microcell. I have been able to find the IP address, in the logs of the DIR-655, but nowhere else. Shouldn't it be listed under SETUP -> NETWORK SETTINGS -> NUMBER OF DYNAMIC DHCP CLIENTS?
