Re: DIR-655 on Firmware 1.05 - MacBook Pro conn drops (fixed)

Hmmmmmmm...I'm skeptical of this, but I'll give it a shot in a bit. The problem with the dropping is not exclusive to the DIR-655, and is even happening with Apple's own AirPort Extreme router. This problem also was non-existent prior to OS X being updated to 10.4.10 (not just for me, but everyone), so that tells me that Apple did something in the 10.4.10 update that caused this. I had rock-solid connections to my DIR-655 prior to updating OS X to 10.4.10. Most people are looking for 10.4.11 to (hopefully) fix this issue.

Be skeptical all you like. I'm just stating what worked for me.

Of course there's always the possibility that I am just trying to mislead you somehow for my own personal and nefarious purposes.

I hope this works for you. If it doesn't, then I certainly hope Apple's next release does the trick for you.

Good luck.

OK...I just ran AirMoose. It found 5 other wireless networks besides mine. 3 of them are using channel 6 and 2 of them are using channel 11. Mine is using channel 1. So doesn't that throw your "same channel" theory out the window? (At least in my case)

Shhhh!!! Don't let my computer know that this solution doesn't work!! It's under the (obviously mistaken) impression that it did work...

Okay, so it didn't work for you, so what? Hopefully this will help someone else.

I won't tell your computer.

Re: DIR-655 on Firmware 1.05 - MacBook Pro conn drops (f**ed)

It is with extreme regret I must reverse my prior enthusiasm. Seemed to be working fine for a couple of hours but it's back to the same disconnecting behavior...
