Hi! I'm having trouble with my new router, it's a D-link DI524, i can't keep my conection stable, in resume, i wrote to D-Link tech support, i wrote: QUOTE Hi!
I just bought a DI-524, and i did every step of the quick guide installation...
The thing is, i'm hard-wire connected but my connection goes down.. restores... goes down.. restore... every 5 minutes!!!!
What can i do to solve this???? They answered the following: QUOTE David, if the connection drops on all computers simultaneously, then try using the crash recovery method flash the 1.05 firmware. Download the firmware 1.05 from the link given below. http://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp...ductid=DI%2D524. To crash recover: Step 1 Unplug the power from the router. Hold in the reset button and plug the power back in. Continue holding for 10 seconds and then release. Step 2 Statically assign an IP address to your computer in the same IP subnet range: 192.168.0.x where x is any number between 2 and 254. Your Subnet Mask should be 255.255.255.0. Please visit the link given below for screenshots in assigning static IP. http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod...stion=static+IPStep 3 Open Internet Explorer and browse to 192.168.0.1. You should see the crash recovery page. Browse to the location of the firmware on your hard-drive and click the send button. Your router should now be stable and ready to configure. Please visit http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=979 if you are unable to visit the web configuration. If the issue persists, 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. Should you require further assistance with your D-Link products, please reply to this message, or call toll free at 877-453-5465. Thank you for networking with D-Link. Sincerely, SHANE WALTERS D-Link Technical Support I tried all of it! wrote them again and got this: QUOTE David We understand that you are unable to maintain a stable link to the internet through the DI-624_revC. This is probably happening because the router is rebooting itself for some reason as a result of which the link between the router and your PCs is lost for a brief period of time. ** Refer the following FAQ that addresses this specific issue : http://www.support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?...question=rebootIn case the issue persists, we would recommend a firmware upgrade in order to correct the situation. Refer the following FAQ for a detailed step-by-step instruction guide on carrying out a firmware upgrade : http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod...estion=firmwareThis should help you complete the firmware update successfully. Upgrading to the latest firmware is what we recommend. If you happen to have the latest firmware installed, reflash the same once anyways. Another option would be to update the firmware on the router to earlier version. Note that all earlier firmware versions are available for download at the following link : ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/Hopefully, this should be all that you need to do in order to see your particular concerns addressed. In the case that the above mentioned steps fail to provide you with the desired result, it would be best for you to speak to a live technician using the following contact information : 877-45D-Link (877-453-5465) They would be able to help you out best as regards further instructions. Any inconvenience caused is duly regretted. Should you require further assistance with your D-Link products, please reply to this message, or call toll free at 877-453-5465. Thank you for networking with D-Link. Sincerely, SANDY WALKER D-Link Technical Support NOTHING WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fact that the connection wasn't working. After about half an hour of trying different methods
of resetting, replugging, ect., i figured the d-link router was bad. So I brought it to my house

Linksys Wireless N 150 Router
Review of the router (4) Well, I have had a linksys wireless b router for some time now, but had been having issues with not
getting a strong enough signal throughout my house. Yet what seemed odd, is that I could get
stronger signal from all of my neighbors, even those who were down the street several houses from
me. And so I decided that it was time to purchase a new wireless router. Even though, the newest
computer I have is wireless g, I went for the wireless n because of the increased range, and the
thought that it will probably be a better investment for the future. I am impressed, immed....

thing is happening to his other computer (requires him to sign onto AOL first before he can
connect). After playing around with it for a while, Internet Explorer connected without

Router Safety

it and use another security method, WEP is hackable and can allow users through quite easily, i
disallowed my laptop from router, then used certain software to generate the WEP, got on then used
Internet Tracking tools. It's so simple, people can Hack your router! use WPA or....

problem. The modem connects to the computer using USB ONLY. It has an ethernet adapter in the back

Layered Networking
barring a networked computer from using a shared connection (6) Since I haven't had any luck with my internet connection sharing problem which i posted

the answer. I won't give up the cable because i also have 2 phone lines on it, plus cable tv,
but I will get a 256K DSL connection in addition to my 128K cable. The benefits of this will be that
it's double, plus i'll get the full 256K connection for myself without having to share it
with other users. (I explained previously about the 10to1 ratio used here in pakistan)....
