Dlink routers

[DaveR]

Vortical and IanSav posted the following in another topic but I think it's important enough to be a sticky post...

1. With some DLINK routers you need to 'Apply' the settings and then go to a completely different area of the web interface and 'Save Settings & Reboot'. Otherwise your settings will just keep defaulting back to your old values.

2. You will also need to restart your computer and the Beyonwiz after that is done too.

3. You may also need to clear all pc's on the wiz and rescan on the wiz again.

Hi Dave,

I've just purchased a DIR-655 http://dlink.com.au/Products.aspx?Sec=1 ... =5&PID=295 , and the interface has a 'save settings' button on each page, and will error trap the user when changes are made without saving by posting a warning.



Furthermore, where a reboot is required, a warning message will alert the user after the 'save settings' option is selected.

The Router works well in WEP, but as with the Netgear and Dynalink routers, WPA is prone to netwrok instability with the current BW firmware.

Hope this assists with your thread.

It's interesting that the BW has issues using WPA with D-Link, Netgear and Dynalink routers. Is there something common between the 3 brands?

I guess my first thought was that the common denominator is my S1, given other users have reported WPA issues. I must admit I'm unsure if there are any hardware similarities between the three routers though.

Slightly off topic, I'm disappointed at the lack of mature Vista drivers for the Dlink N range PCI and PCI express wireless cards. Crashes, configuration software not launching and both cards defaulting to G protocol have been my experience with Vista, and apparently their support department's too.

Yes.I agree with that
