Re: [Help Me] Admit it: DIR-655 has reboot or losing connection
Hi,
Seems to me that being forced to use WEP is not a good answer to your problem. WEP is limited to .11B and .11G so if you intend to run .11N hardware, you can't run WEP (as it was explained to me by others in this forum).
Just curious...how do your PC's control their wireless adapters ?? Native utility or Windows WZC service ? |

I was havig this exact same problem, I got Dlink to RMA me the router, just got my new one today, and the exact same thing is happening. same reboots, i'll try going to wep and seeing if that helps, but thats not really a solution, as part of the reason i bought this router was for Wireless N, which you can't use with WEP. |

I just bought the 655 at c*stco yesterday and spent a fun four hours with it last night. It came with the 1.10 firmware.
1) The install wizard decided the router wasn't on it's supported list, so I had to install manually.
2) When using the wireless connection with WEP or WPA, the router resets about 30 seconds after it's done testing the network performance. I was not able to get around this behavior, making it useless as a wireless router.
When connected only via cable, it seems to be more stable.
I ran a ping -t 192.168.0.1 from the command shell and verified that it would lose the hardware connection any time I turned on a wireless card and connected to the router. I usually had about 10 seconds of connection though.
So far, it has been a very frustrating experience. Without the positive reviews, I wouldn't even consider trying again. But I'll swap it out (and maybe try the EU 1.11 firmware) and see if that helps. |

Ya know, I've always had a problem with this one computer out in my living room and it never occurred to me that it could be the router as I got the computer setup after the router.
[INFO] Sun Dec 09 10:27:37 2007 Wireless system with MAC address 0014A5DA0257 disconnected for reason: Received Deauthentication.
I get that all over my log, this computer disconnects at least once every 15 minutes and will disconnect within 2 minutes if a large LAN transfer is started.
The computer is using an Airlink101 MIMO XR PCI LAN card. Does not matter if I use Airlink's drivers or the Ralink RT61 drivers- same crap either way.
I think I'm going to have to invest in a better lan card  Any ideas on how to force them to play nice? I'm running WPA2-AES.
Also, the computer is literally under 3 yards away from the router separated by 1 wall. Signal strength is 100%. There is -no- good reason for it to disconnect like that. |

I thought I was the only one...
Always glad to see others sharing my frustration.  I share the exact same issues with random disconnects and reconnects 30 seconds to a minute later. I have the DIR-655 in my upstairs office hardwired to my main PC, down in the living room I have their new DAP-1555 media bridge with my PS3 and Directv HR20 hooked up to that, both using wired hookups to the bridge to utilize the bridge's draft n capability. Then I have my laptop on g that I also use in the living room. I have these random disconnects with all three pieces of hardware, and I've tried using the PS3 wirelessly without the bridge and still the same issue. Definnitely seems like DLink has an issue on their hand. I only bought the router from BB 4 weeks ago and I'm hoping DLink releases the new 855 before 1/15 so I can swap the 655 under BB's holiday return policy. After reading all the great reviews about this router, I'm really quite unhappy. Thanks again for all the comments. I'll keep monitoring for solutions. By the way, I'm using WPA 2 Only with AES. Will not go to WEP since I want the N compatibility with the bridge to stream my HDV movies from my upstairs PC to my PS3 using Tversity. |

| Okay, I moved the PCI card to another PC.
It works great now in that PC. Don't ask me ... don't know.
The other PC has a USB stick now. Airlink AWLL3026 w/ ZD1211B chipset. Ran like crap and dropped like crap until I took the included USB extension and taped it to the desk so the adapter was upright in the air. Runs great now (60% signal STR -> 95%).
This router is a beast. Don't stack stuff on it... it gets really hot and that may cause problems too. |
