Title: D-Link 615 and Macbook Pro
Post by: ferrel on August 08, 2011, 07:58:00 PM
I'm having serious difficulty getting my Macbook Pro to connect to the wireless
network I've set up with the D-Link 615.  I've tried WPA Personal, WPA2 Personal,
and now WEP, and I always receive a "connection timeout" or a "connection failed"
each time I try.  I know I've set the network up properly, or I think I know this,
because my Samsung Epic 4G has worked continuously with every change I've made;
all I have to do is enter the new pass phrase, and it connects fine.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Best,
Ferrel

What HW version is your router?
What FW version is currently loaded?

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?
Turn off QoS options.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

What wireless modes are you using?
Try single mode G or mixed G and N with out security?
Then turn security on:
Preferred is WPA2 or WPS-Personal. Auto TPIK and AES.
