Title: DirecTV DECA & DIR-655
Post by: Drucifer on May 20, 2010, 03:14:30 PM

I'm trying to connect my Internet broadband to my DirecTV DECA network. My router is a DIR-655 Firmware 1.32NA and DirecTV equipment are three HR21-100 & two H21-100.

I keep getting Network Connected, Internet Not Connected (13) on my TV screen.

I fixed the Internet Connection problem, but I still can't get DirecTV TV Apps (Widgets) to load.

Here's what I did to enable DirecTV apps using my D-LINK DIR-655 router:
1. Upgrade DIR-655 firmware version to 1.32NA or higher (SAVE YOUR CONFIG! THIS FIRMWARE REVERTS TO FACTORY)
2. Ensure UPnP is enabled ( checked) on the DIR-655 router ( go to Advanced...Advanced Network.....check UPnP box)
3. Uncheck the DNS box
4. Reset-- the router and the DirecTV DVR ( my DVR is model HR20-700).
Reset the router THEN reset the DVR.

All of my directv units (HR24, H24, HR20 and HR21 now will access Network Services.  Not that the TV Apps are anything that special.
