Title: DIR-655 as a UPNP switch/access point
Post by: Willeh on November 12, 2010, 04:37:13 AM

 About four months ago I got a fiber connection with it's own standalone router.. thingie, although this "home center" doesn't have UPnP support to allow multiple devices connect through the same ports at the time, which poses a great issue when there's more than one Xbox on the network at a time as they'll have a "Strict" connection.

 I've got a DIR-655 currently functioning like a regular access point, but I'm wondering how to configure it to also support UPnP, where do I forward the ports and what are the required settings on the router?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Willeh,

Turn off the Standalone Router's Wireless Radio and place the D-Link Router in the DM Zone of the FIOS Router. Let the D-link Router handle everything.

There is no option to disable DHCP on the standalone router, only to limit the range.

Hi Willeh,

Are we / you talking about the ActionTec Router from Verizon?

'Fraid not, it's some fairly unknown norwegian brand ( :[ ). It's configuration options are pretty limited.

Hi Willeh,

Where is your location? The U.S. or another Country? If Verizon in the U.S., see if you can swapped it for ActionTec Router.

I live in Norway, this is like the first installment of fiber optic connections in the country, and I receive TV signals through the same "home center", so I don't think I'd be able to replace it.

 What I've tried thus far is to just set the UPnP-enabled DIR-655 as DMZ host and connect all the devices through it, but with no greater luck.

Thanks helping by the way, I really appreciate it =)
