It could be cordless phones, baby-monitors, other non-wifi users. It could be a conflict between the various proprietary enhancements to wi-fi in use in your neighborhood.

As to the phones specifically, it seems to happen to certain brands/models of phones more than it does with others. I suspect that is because of the different techniques used to broadcast the signal -- digital vs analog, spread spectrum techniques, and etcetera.

Firmware definitely could help: A few weeks ago, on a hunch, I suggested that someone try turning on Extended Range mode (his was definitely an interference problem) and suddenly his problems were over. Extended Range was not available until 2.5x versions of the firmware.

I was getting ahead of myself there. It's not required by the standard, it's a deployment requirement.

802.1X is, as you certainly know, a security standard meant for larger networks. A network administrator should not be required to set static IP addresses on all the client machines to be able to use this router in a production environment.

Many companies have several access points and several subnets. Roaming between these subnets is impossible with static IP addresses. Additionally, DHCP lets admins transmit far more parameters than just an IP address, DNS server and default router to a client. Setting these things even for a small office (>15 machines) is a pain in the ass.

What just gets me with D-Link is that they keep missing the warning on their boxes: "Our products do not work properly with Broadcom and Intel wireless network devices. Be prepared to hack in a lot static IP addresses should you not choose to buy network equipment with our prefered chipset". The DI-624 is not their first device with DHCP problems.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13905011 Sat, 16 Jul 2005 01:01:55 EDT Re: 2.53 on DLINK CANADA? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13904725 peter_m : Ok, so I have to live without DHCP, witch I am doing right now.

"If it ain't broken, don't fix it", so if you need WPA2 for security, don't use DHCP either (for security!). If you need DHCP (for comfort), use the 2.42 or 2.50 firmware.

When DNS relay is on, DHCP sets the DNS address to match the Gateway address.

When DNS relay is off, DHCP sets the DNS addresses to match the DNS addresses configured on the WAN side of the router.

I have no idea why this would cause a reboot. I have seen frequent DNS failures with 2.53, DHCP Relay On, and my DI-624 C1.

2. Unplug power to your router
3. Reboot your wireless computers
4. Plug in your router
5. Set up your computers to the new SSID

WHY THIS WORKS: Setting up a new SSID causes the clients to create a new, clean, and correct profile for the access point.

That's a good escape hatch from the 2.4ghz crunch, for well, as long as it takes everyone to go down and get 11a. It's not a long term solution to bandwidth issues.

In reference to 624 stability:
I have a DI-624 Cx. It's been stable and never had a reboot issue since the day I got it. It's run 2.42, 2.50 & 2.52b60 firms.

In reference to Turbo mode causing slowness:
That's nuts; for me it has always caused quickness and lots of it.

Why they're taking static turbo out:
Because, just over a year ago, Broadcom discovered that the channel bonding mode of the Atheros chipsets causes them to overrun EVERY channel on the 2.4gHz band. Usually, channels 1, 6, & 11 are non-overlapping (well, at least with enough volume to have usable signals). When the bonding portion of Turbo is on, the combined signal width overlaps 1 & 11 when the datalink is pushing full bandwidth. All this translates to Atheros devices with Turbo scramble the 11G compliant signals of Broadcom devices withing 60-100 feet. Atheros' answer was "Dynamic Turbo." Apparently, WIFI is getting on their asses about leaving static turbo in.

My thoughts on this:
Hrm. I really want QOS. But more than WMM, or wireless QOS, I want beefy band shaping that allows my VoIP connection to remain intact when I send an email, or anything that uses a little of my 768K uplink. There is only one residential router that does this right now, that's the Linksys w/ Sevesoft's Firmware.

Finally, I run static-turbo. It's fast, yeah. But really just because my notebook's (Compaq 1830) audio circuitry (ESS Solo) "plays" the wireless signal. Yup. 11b goes plop plop plop as it works. 11g makes a faster bpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbp sound. Turbo - dead silent. So noise. That's why I use it. Lol. My secret it out.

So now, I've gotta choose between new features (my wireless works fine when it can get IP's from the router, my only problem) and the obnoxious farting noise 802.11g makes when using my notebook.

Here's the real solution as I see it:
-Make turbo modes that bond 1 5Ghz channel with 1 2.4Ghz. Make it so any of the channels can be cross-bonded. Why the hell arn't they doing this now? (or are they?)
-Better QOS and planned use of wireless signals (that's what they are working on with 802.11e)
-MIMO : to have made such an understated appearance, MIMO technology is pretty crazy-go-nuts in its ability to make sense of reflection noise, etc. It really is something special (though I know little of its current use in dlink devices).
-Now that wireless networks have an UBER-ridiculous level of security, focus on better compression of both signal and protocol data.

Argh.

No, I've been busy getting My 2nd PC back up and working as I changed the motherboard, drives, fans and cards into a semi-new case as the old case was too hard to get into and had a stripped screw on the PCI card hold down bar(It used 2 screws for that and You needed to fiddle with a 3rd screw to open the door just to install or remove a card). Now It's much easier to deal with as each card has a screw of It's own and the door is a latch. I had to reinstall drivers set the Bios, It's running at 2.35GHz as a test, It had run at 2.34GHz before and so I want to see what the temps will be like as this place is cooled with only 1 swamp cooler and that PC has 4-80mm fans(3-75cfm and 1 is unknown and really not needed except for light in the room at night) and 2-120mm fans([1-150cfm exhaust] and [1-130cfm cpu]).

Biggest reason is that the WPA key would not be recognized, the other is crash recovery did not solve rebooting.

Only diff between 2.50 and 2.53 is WPA-PSK2, WMM QOS, and the telling if half or Full Duplex. Otherwise staying with 2.50.

Really? All I can say is that the 2.28 connects with a good signal in the vanilla mode, while 2.53 gives me a very weak signal and no internet connection. The wireless values were set the same in both versions. I should have not left Linksys because of "cosmetic" ugliness :p D-Link has no QoS, or logging via SNMP, why?

On my note of progress, I've had a chance to buy a Linksys WRT54GS v2 router at Staples to replace my everlasting DI-624 rev C1 router. Got it for inexpensive price (~$45 after rebate and coupons). I will now turn my attention towards Linksys WRT54GS. I can deal with slower wireless throughput, compromising a bit of additional stability and programmable features. I have yet to have the full time to play with my new router, but rest assured, it's performing very well with DD-WRT firmware.

Firmware 2.53 killed static turbo. Dynamic turbo kicks in long after a big transfer is going, probably like more than 10 seconds or so into the transfer, but the turbo cuts in and out. Perhaps the channel bonding was a great idea, but too much interference around channel 6.
I upgraded from my solid trusty DI-624 rev C2 to a DI-784 to get the SuperA with Turbo mode. From where I am in my apartment complex, I can see about 15 other 11b/g APs around, with most of them on Channel 6 default out of the box. Who knows how many 2.4GHz cordless phones or Bluetooh devices are around.

Now, with SuperA Turbo mode, I have static channel bonding turned on all the time, have plenty of channels to choose from to use it (not that it matters, since no one else around me has 11a :) ), and I'm now back to a solid ~50mbps real throughput (I used to get this speed in 11g on my DI-624 back when I lived at my old place, and there were no 11b/g APs around... sigh).

Also, the DI-784 does SuperG and SuperA concurrently, so while the rest of my roommates can still use the 11g connection, I get the SuperA Turbo all to myself at the same time with no performance hit!

The icing on the cake, I got it from Fry's a few weeks ago for $45 after a $20 mail-in rebate. It's been rock solid so far, the only reboots I've had in the last two weeks were intentional due to settings changes and playing around with it.

As the ultimate test, I used my wired desktop computer to Remote Desktop into my laptop with full resolution and 24-bit color. I then streamed a Quicktime movie file off the desktop for playback onto the laptop... through the Remote Desktop connection, and it was SMOOTH! The audio was a bit delayed only because once it comes through the Remote Desktop, there's no guarantee of any sort of time synchronization in the RDP protocol I'm aware of. I watched the downstream data from the desktop to the wireless 11a laptop go up with the size of the video files, while the upstream data from the laptop to the desktop went way way up due to the raw video forwarding of the remote desktop connection. After having this connection up for a few minutes, the upstream data easily surpassed 1GB, and by eyeballing the upstream byte counter, it was easily in the 50-60mbps range.

I'm a happy camper. :) For those of you who have ditched the DI-624 to go to a Linksys, and for those of you who have ditched the Linksys to come to a DI-624, and for those of you who say both D-Link and Linksys are terrible, perhaps it's time to think about how crowded 2.4GHz is around your neighborhood. There's no need to give up throughput at a similar price point. I hope Fry's runs this deal again soon, so I can pick up a few more for my friends and family.

I should add all my tests were with WPA encryption turned on, which is even more amazing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13480274 Tue, 24 May 2005 01:27:25 EDT Re: 2.53 on DLINK CANADA? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13479520 Greg_Z : You do know that there is more then just loading the firmware on the router don't you Schipperke? 2.28 has some problems that 2.5x has fixed.

Don't know why they remove that, its on all their boxes, 108mbps! only way to be able to achieve half of that is with static turbo...

Anyway, my computer is few rooms away and i get a 85% signal (says atheros) but when I turn dynamic turbo on and it switches to 108mpbs, speeds drop to few 100kb/sec instead of 2.5MB/sec when dynamic turbo is off.

You have to pick WPA if you want TKIP, and WPA2 if you want AES.

Also, the really big fields for setting the WMM QoS crap are still gone.
