Title: Updated to 1.13, USB only working wired, not wireless!
Post by: darkeclipse on October 02, 2008, 09:51:37 PM

Help please?

I updated the firmware and downloaded the utility. I connected a USB external HDD to the router. When I hard wire my connection it see's the external and it works great. However, when I unplug it and run wirelessly it does not work. The utility does not see any USB devices... ideas? Thanks!

I connected an old HP LaserJet 1200 printer and has worked on both wired and wireless laptops.

Did anyone bother looking at the pdf file that you can download with the utility?

Hi...

I've got the same problem here.

And i have another question. When you plug the Hard Drive into the router, only one person can connect to it at a time?

I was able to get my USB Drive working over wireless. I reinstalled the SharePort application and then power cycled my USB Drive and my PC was able to connect to it.

This isn't a problem, it's just the way the software is designed. At this time D-Link only allows one user (Computer) to connect to a device inserted into the router's USB port. Once the user that is "using" the USB device disconnects, another user can connect.

You mean "at this time" because D-Link is planning to upgrade SharePort?

And what about connecting to the disks Wirelesly? Is it possible?

I installed the Utility in 2 Notebooks and i counldn't connect to the dirive in neither of them.

Tnx

I'm simply dreaming, It'd be nice to have multiple connections to one device simultaneously :)
