The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => Routers / COVR => DIR-505 => Topic started by: danymora131 on April 17, 2013, 06:26:59 PM

The DIR-505 will not work for more than a couple of minutes at a time, and then will drop the connection, and have to be disconnected and reconnected for it to start working, only to drop the connection again, and you have to repeat the process. What is wrong, because on my computer using the regular router from the same place works fine. I can't airplay with my apple tv and the 505 because I will lose the connection and have to resetup to listen to music or watch movies. What am I doing wrong?
Thank-you

Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on routers web page under status.
What region are you located?
Are you wired or wireless connected to the router?
Has a Factory Reset been performed?
Link>Wireless Installation Considerations (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48327.0)
Ensure the default (dlink) SSID name is changed. Can be anything and not something thats already in use by any neighboring WiFi routers. Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
What wireless modes are you using?
Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
Try setting a manual channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear.
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto.
What wireless devices do you have connected?
Any cordless house phones?
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use InSSIDer (http://www.metageek.net/) to find out. How many?
