| Di-624 Keeps resetting.please HELP !!!!1
I just purchased The di-624 last night got it home and installed it accordingly. I did a firmware update immediatly so I didnt have a chance to notice the problem on the old firmware. After Installing it completly. It worked fine for about 15 minutes then I noticed that XP kept telling me that Local area connection has been disconnected then reconnected a second later But it kept doing it ever 10 seconds or so. I use xbox live alot so i cant have this happening. I called tech support and they told me that someone has my ip address and keeps pinging my computer and that the router is protecting me so we disabled that . I then hung up and reset the whole thing after starting it all up it did it again. Now after being on hold for 30 minutes with Dlink i tried calling again then they said to flash the firmware i did then hung up again . Then it started resetting again. WHATS GOING ON. I called them back but they said its the router and to take it back But i gotta a feeling its not. Has anyone else had this problem And what fixes WORK. please help |

| Its the router, get it replaced. I've heard of this with the DI-624's before, tho its rare. Don't waste time troubleshooting, just take it back to where you got it.

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 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. |

or, try this...
Problems keeping a constant connect to the router
This is typically an issue with older 10/100BaseT network cards. The problem is the older cards have a hard time establishing a connection speed with the router unit.You can resolve this issue by locking down the speed of your Ethernet card.
To correct this problem in WINDOWS XP
Step 1 Go to Start> Control Panel > and select Network connections.
Step 2 Right click on your network card (for 2000 and XP only)and select Properties.
Step 3 Select the Configure button.
Step 4 Under the Advanced tab you will see two boxes; Property and Value.
Note: Depending on the type of Ethernet card you are using the headings in the Property box will be slightly different.
Step 5 Select each heading in the Properties box until the Value box displays the speed of your Ethernet card (it will look like this: Auto-Negotiation, 10Mb Full, 100 MB Half, etc..). You want to select 10mb Full Duplex.
Step 6 Keep clicking OK until you get to the desktop. Your computer may ask you to reboot depending on the version of Windows you are running.

It's not rare from my experience. Many types of WAN packets sent to the 624 will reboot it. This is a known issue. Firmware fixes are required.
