Re: DI-524 bios 1.05 disconnects
Ya know I've had the same problems, and its annoying as hell. Glad to see its not just me  I just emailed D-link I hope you have all done the same.
And whats with xbox live compatable? Don't people know how to forward ports? yeah, I got two xbox's and never had live problems with a router, if set up properly.
D-Link responded ASAP While I was still here.
Products: DI-524
Operating System: Windows XP
Bill, from your email it seems that your router is rebooting.
You may be experiencing trouble with a feature known as UPnP. This feature allows Windows XP and Me machines to remotely open necessary ports for Internet Applications. You may try disabling UPnP (on the router as well as your computers) to see if this cures your reset woes. Log into the web-based configuration, access the Tools page, then the Misc. button. Choose the disabled button next to UPnP. Click Apply. You should no longer experience the frequent resets.
Still using 1.05 firmware I'll respond if this helps.

| Nope stopping UPnP didn't help a bit. Had to go back to Firmware 1.03. Oh fun  That's why I got rid of my Linksys. Worked great when i got it. Every time I got firmware I had even more problems..lol |

| I hate to admit this, but MY problem was resolved by physically relocated the router. I had it on a shelf which I suspect was trapping the signal. It wasn't a full enclosure by any means, but seems to have been enough to screw the signal up. After moving the router out to the electronic tundra that is my desk, everything works great on 1.05 firmware.  |

@pldt.net | my disconnects went away after a re-boot. anybody have issues with distance? if i go more than 12-15 feet away...signal drops. don't really want to buy an external antenna for more than the cost of the router. suggestions?

I had upgraded the firmware to 1.05 right off the bat and have the disconnects. Now, dropping back to 1.03, the router doesn't pull the WAN address from the cable modem. But upgrading again, there's no problem with that. So dropping back isn't an option for me. |

The 1.03 firmware defaults the WAN select speed to 100Mbps. Change it to 10Mbps and most likely you'll be working again. The 1.05 firmware has a new option of "Auto", the default, which means it will detect whatever speed your cablemodem is operating at and set itself accordingly, so the 1.05 firmware appears to work when the 1.03 doesn't. But setting the switch manually in the 1.03 firmware works very well. |

@optonline.net | Thanks. I did that and 1.03 pulled the WAN address just fine. Now to see if that fixes my problems with the DWL-G510 card. |

I initially had problems with distance...I had one box in a back bed room, the router in the front room (approx 50 ft)..signal was usually very low...
moved the router to a more central location (within 15 / 20 feet) and problem was resolved...can run the router at the lowest antenna power output (12.5% 10dbm) with signal strengths always at very good or excellent.
i suspect however, the problem was more of my LinkSYS Wireless G USB adapter on the desktop machine...
I run a Dlink Airplus Xtreme G in my laptop and have never had a signal degredation, even going outside with it in excess of 50 feet from the router at the lowest antenna power output...
So, i think the results can vary based on the config of the router and the adapter you are employing... |

| I had the same problem. Just got this unit yesterday. First I could not connect at all. Went on D-Link web page to find out that I should get the new Bios. Got 1.05. It was the same problem as with others here. Than I installed 1.03 - so far so good.

No, the DWL-G510 keeps disconnecting and changing speeds. I've replaced it with a Belkin card which is running solid at 54 mps. So I suspect my problem wasn't the DI-524 but the DWL-G510. |

I don't know which ports to forward, and I'm too lazy to figure out Lol.
By the way people. To all that's saying it's a problem for WIRELESS ONLY you're wrong. I'm on WIRED, on this router, and I get the disconnecting. |

When I tried the 1.05 firmware I had similar problems, both wired and wireless. The 1.03 firmware is very stable, no problems on either. |

@tht.net | I have not even used the wireless connection yet. All my problems with 1.05 were on wired connectiom. With 1.03 for a couple of days now - no problems. |

You're kidding, right? Unless D-Link comes out with new drivers (Microsoft-certified would be nice, too), the DWL-G510 is just a lemon. |

I don't think that has anything to do with your ram, but the fact that limewire established too many connections perhaps, emule with the 1.05 firmware restarts but the 1.03 is fine. |

I have an AT&T Client connection over broadband to my company VPN and as soon as I "upgraded" from 1.03 to 1.05 my VPN client started getting disconnected every 10-20 minutes. I also lose Outlook to Hotmail connectivity on about the same cycle. I am going back to 1.03 and see what happens. |
