D-Link DIR-655 :: Wi-Fi Signal Strong - Password Not Accepted

Jun 28, 2011

I bought this router (DIR-655) some time earlier this year, so it hasn't even been half a year that I've owned the thing.  I set it up in the small duplex I was sharing with my sister and it worked quite well.  Actually... for the first 45 minutes I was freaking out because I was getting practically no signal, then I realized I had forgotten to screw in the antennas... but that little anecdote aside, it worked fine.

I've since moved into a new place.  I got a new modem, still on Videotron, I just upped the speed from 7 MB/sec to 15 MB/sec.  Before setting up the router I inserted the CD that came with it and followed the instructions therein... things seemed fine, except that he automatically used the same network name that I used at my last place... almost like he was stuck on it.  I couldn't figure out how to create a fresh new network.  But  I shrugged it off and continued, entering my own password and everything else.

Now, at the end he gave me 4 pieces of information,

A router password. A network name (SSID), this is the one who's name was stuck to the old one. A network security type, I went for Most secure(WPA) And the network security key, this was a randomly generated alphanumeric code of some sort.

I copied this in two different ways and the installation wizard automatically saved me a copy onto the desktop, so I know for certain I got the passwords right.  I pulled out my iPad later, saw the network, a good strong signal, and tried to connect except it's not accepting my password.  The password I triple-saved and checked without a shadow of a doubt.  On a whim I tried to use the Security Key, and that seemed to connect for some reason, but it is considerably slower than it was at my last place.

The modem isn't to blame (it's running on double the speed now) and the signal strength is good.  It's just that something gone weird with the password, and it feels very slow.  Even if it wasn't slow, I would really like to know why none of my wifi devices are accepting the password I assigned.

And I used that http://192.168.0.1/ trick to look into the router settings from my computer.  I changed the network password into something new.  And still none of the devices will connect, they keep telling me it's the wrong password.  I am only able to connect through the Security Key and I don't like that!  I tried to contact D-Link's technical support the other day, but it drew on for so long my cellphone actually ran out of minutes. 

Short Version: None of my wifi devices are accepting the password I gave during the setup and I don't know why!

I'm running a 64-bit Windows 7 on 1-year old dual-core desktop computer.

D-Link DIR-655 :: Lost Network Security Key - Password Not Accepted

Jul 23, 2011

I got a D-Link router not too long ago and I set it up in an odd way, the router password I gave it during the setup would not be accepted but the Network Security Key (the randomly generated alphaneumeric code) was accepted.  I used it to connect all of my wifi devices.

The router password (which doesn't work), the "network name (SSID)", the network security type, and the network security key were all saved on my desktop.  My computer has since suffered a critical crash and had to have it's hard drive erased.  I still remember the password, the network name, and the security type.  But the NSK (the thing I need to connect in place of a password) has been lost.  It was this long random string of letters and numbers that I couldn't remember for the life of me.

I also remembered my Admin password, so I am able to log into http://192.168.0.1, but in here I only know how to change the regular password.  I don't know how to access or change the NSK.  change the security setting so that I can use the actual password instead of the NSK? Because of the crash I lost my iTunes libraries so I'm going to have to reset all my iOS devices, which are primarily what I use wifi on.  If I reset them, they'll forget the wifi network and the assosiated NSK password, so I won't be able to use wifi at all.

Not Getting Strong Signal When Used To

Feb 17, 2011

Well I just recently got my computer back from Gateway.I sent it off to them because I was having overheating issues.Well they fixed that by replacing the cpu and fans. But now that I have it back I'm not getting a very good signal from my wireless router. I'm one room away from the router and it use to be full bars...Now I'm at a steady 2 bars, signal strength poor. I used to be able to pick up probably 20 networks that were close to me. Now I don't pick up any of those, just my own. I'm wondering what the heck happened! I've tried restoring my system but it didn't do anything. Also, if I go to Control panel and click on diagnose wireless adapter it will say it fixes it, and then a bunch of networks pop up, all good strength, even mine will have full bars for about 30 seconds, then boom, all the other networks disappear and mine goes clear down to 2 bars.

Strong Wifi Signal / No Connection

Aug 28, 2012

I just got a job at a School district that has an extremly old and basic network setup (No Firewall, only 2 accounts on the server Student and Teacher). They have two small buildings that have 1 wireless router on each floor about in the middle of the hallway. I am having a strange issue I haven't seen before with a windows 7 laptop that a few of the teachers in the district are having. They can see the wireless router on the network but everytime they try and connect it says "Windows Cannot Connect or is Denied Access". All the other laptops in the building connect fine.Heres what I have done so far.

-Power cycled the router, nothing.
-ipconfig /release, and renew, nothing.
-Getting closer to the router and connecting, nothing. (Also tried with a differant laptop in the room and it could connect no problem which confused me more)
-Updating the network card.(says it has the latest updates)
-Re-entering the network key, nothing

What I haven't tried is setting up manually a static IP. But do I need to do that? And if so how do I know which IP to give it is there a way I can generate a list of all the IP's on the network?

Strong Signal But IPv4 / 6 Can't Connect

Jul 10, 2011

So I have been trouble shooting this for just over a day and still nothing, but anyways. My computer says that I am connected to the wireless router and that I have great signal strength but I have no internet access from either my IPv4 or IPv6. I have been using the cmd commands such as netsh reset, and the like. I have restarted both modem and router a few times as well as my computer. Also just did a recent avg scan and firewalls are all off. This is all coming from my mac laptop which is connected just fine which leaves me even more confused.

Strong Wifi Signal But Very Slow Internet Connection

Jan 16, 2011

I have a Linksys N Router connected to a Windows 7 computer. My wired connection through Comcast is an average of 25 Mbps. In the bedroom above me I have another computer with a Linksys N Adapter on Windows Vista. I am receiving a strong WiFi signal on an average of 240 Mbps. However, my internet downstream is less than 1 Mbps and the upload is over 3 Mbps. I've updated the router's firmware and reset it twice. I've also tried changing the channels and switching to broadcasting "N" only. Linksys won't facilitate because it's out of warranty.

Linksys Wired Router :: BEFSR41v3 Enable UPnP / Password Not Accepted

Jun 30, 2007

I have a BEFSR41v3 and am trying to enable UPnP on the router. However, after I activate UPnP in my browser and the webpage reloads (after the common status screen that says you have to wait 5 seconds and you will be redirected). I am prompted for a password. But for some reason, it will not accept any password that I enter. In order to even get to the settings to UPnP in the first place, you must enter the correct password to access the settings. So I believe I am using the correct password, so why is it not accepting the correct password? I have had to reset my router to factory default settings (by pressing and holding the reset button for 30 seconds) multiple times because of this. But each time after enabling UPnP it will not accept the default password of admin nor will it accept any password that I assign it afterwards. I have noticed however that the "Filter Internal NAT Redirection" which should be set to enabled by default has been set to disabled even after I have reset the router. I have activated UPnP on the router before without trouble but have had to reset the router to factory default settings afterwards because of other reasons.

Webpages Sometimes Won't Load With Strong Connection

May 31, 2012

I have been having some trouble lately with my internet since I have been home from college. I have no problem connected to my router wirelessly, and I always have a strong connect seeing as I am no more than 15 feet from the router. The problem arises sporadically for different intervals. One second I will be browsing the internet with no problem, and the next second I am unable to load any pages.

I was just in a Skype conversation with one of my friends and had a perfect connection with them. I was on twitter at the same time, when suddenly the pages stopped loading. The weird thing is, my connect was still strong while video chatting and it did not cut out. Why my web pages will not load while I still apparently have a strong connection.

Signals Are Not Strong Enough To Reach The Router?

Mar 27, 2011

I have two desktop computers upstairs.The main pc has the Linksys G Router and the other pc is wireless with a network adapter. All works fine here.Downstairs and on the other side of the house, I use my laptop which is wireless to the network. I also have a 46" hidef tv hooked up to a blu ray player and also connected to the network with a wireless adapter. I use Netflix to stream movies and seem to be having a problem with the signal in this room, both on the tv and my laptop. I sometimes only have 2 bars on my laptop and frequently get disconnected to the internet. When I am streaming movies or tv series, I get frequent stops and starts.

I am guessing that the signal is just not strong enough to reach this far from the router. Would switching to an N router be better for streaming? Would another G router downstairs solve my problem?

Get Strong Wireless Performance In A Large House?

Feb 20, 2013

I am trying to brainstorm some ideas for the best wireless set up in a house that is 2 stories and 8500 SQ Feet. The house is wired with ethernet jacks.

Option 1. ASUS RT-N66U and Hawking Hi-Gain HWREN1

Option 2. Two Apple Airport Extreme's at either end of the house.

Option 3. Asus RT-N66U and Linksys WRT54G (DD-WRT Firmware).

What about the placement of the equipment? Should there be one router/access point on each floor or just two at either end of the house.

I changed to the DELL and all was fine for days, then I suddenly couldn't send out for a website with this, either. My connection shows strong, and can receive, but can't send out. This is a secure network (supposedly). I've rebooted, and have internet phone that works, so it's not the modem.

D-Link DIR-615 :: Keeps Signal But Won't Access Websites

May 5, 2011

Over the past few months I've noticed that, although my USB adapter picks up a good signal from the router (never less than 65 - 70% signal strength) and stays connected to it I am at times unable to access any websites. It started off happening once or twice a week and could happen for about 5 - 10 minutes at a time but now happens several times a day and can stop me accessing the web even though the USB adapter says that it is still picking up the signal from the router. After a period of time it will just start working again, I don't have to restart the router or anything.I've tried changing the channel to a few different ones after using a utility to see what my neighbours were using but this hasn't made a difference. I'm using a Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N USB Adapter. It has the N technology so should work pretty well.The current firmware version is 1.00VG dated 5th May 2009. In the router settings it allows you to search for an update for the firmware however it told me that my current version is the most up to date.

D-Link DIR-655 :: Getting Low Signal Strength / Speed?

Mar 25, 2011

I have my DIR-655 router set up on the first floor because my son's tricked out gaming rig is in the basement while our office is on the 2nd floor.  On the router, I tweaked settings to give him priority speed when he is gaming.  Although he complains about his speeds and connectivity.  In our 2nd floor office -- which is one floor and 30 ft through a wall away -- my signal strength varies from 45% to 70%.  There are times when neighbor's networks show greater strength than mine does.  I live in a house so the physical distance is much greater plus there are two exterior walls, no matter where their router is placed.  The adapter in the office computer is a D-Link DWA-556.

D-Link DIR-655 :: Low Signal Strength In Room

Mar 16, 2012

My question has to do with the low signal strength of my dir-655.  I have it set up in the second bedroom of my apartment.  When I am sitting in my living room (about 30 feet away) it's really hard to pull in a signal of more than one bar on my phone, or two bars on my wife's kindle fire and will often drop the signal all together.  But, if I search for networks, tons of other routers come up with excellent signal strength from our neighbors.  Is there something I need to know about expanding the signal strength?
