Title: MAC Filter on DGL-4300
Post by: Vixen on November 05, 2011, 04:11:07 PM
I have bought this router a few years ago, and never had a problem until recently. Somehow it started to require a reboot on a daily basis, which is annoying. I removed MAC Filter and became better. Any ideas why? Thank you for input

Should really effect the router unless the option was maybe mis configured in some way.

Some things to try:
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?
If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems.

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual? You can find these under Status/Device Info/Wan section.
Turn off ALL QoS (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
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.
