My wired devices can see my wireless devices, and my wireless devices can see my wired devices, but my wireless devices can't see other wireless devices. And by "see", I'm talking about various media servers, like TVersity, PlayOn and Windows Media Center, and by devices, I have two wireless computers, an Xbox, and a DAP-1522 bridge, among others.
Is this how the DIR-825 works, or am I missing a setting to allow the wireless devices to see and communicate with each other? Specifically, I'm trying to connect my wireless N Xbox 360 with a wireless N Win 7 Home Pro laptop.

Don't know if you fixed that one since your last post, but i had the same problem with XBox 360 and PC with the DIR-825 router and i do media sharing on my PC with Windows Media Center. I was able to play my PC videos on my XBox 360 when the computer was connected with a wire to the router and the XBox was connected wireless. But when both were connected wireless, the XBox wasn't able to see my shared videos.
I called the D-Link technical support and they told me to uncheck the following option:
On the router configuration webpage:
1. Click on the "Advanced" tab.
2. On the left, click on "Advanced Network".
3. You should see a "Enable Multicast Streams" option at the bottom, uncheck it.
That solved my problem. Hope this helps others as well.

Thank you! That was the fix, and I never would have guessed that setting had any affect on the problem. I certainly tried everything else. Now I don't remember if enabled Multicast Streams was the default setting, or something I enabled because it sounded like something I might need, but now I know better.
