Title: DIR-825 shareport not working
Post by: Problem user on January 22, 2010, 09:17:07 AM

I just bought this off ebay and installed it. When I tried to plug in my lexar media 1GB jump drive, I get nothing. I have installed the shareport util and it does not see it. The light on the router does come on once I plug it in. I am running on Windows 7. Please someone just tell me if I wasted my money on this thing.

try this.
close the shareport software.
unplug the usb cable and turn off your printer.
reboot the router after connecting to it with a lan cable and logging into the control panel.  reboot is under tools, system.

after reboot is finished, launch shareport.  then plug in usb cable and turn on printer.

that's how I got mine to show up (available status)

Now, I can not get the printer to connect using 5ghz.  I had to switch to 2.4 on my laptop to get a connection.
