Post by: Navish360 on May 11, 2013, 01:41:30 PM

DIR 655
HW: A4
FW: 1.35NA
Modem: Motorola SB6120
 
   I'm having problems with my wireless connection constantly dropping and have set the optimal settings from the sticky's in the forums, nothing has changed this problem.

-Have changed to a empty Channel. (8)
- TX and RX packets dropping, also some errors.
-All new CAT 6 cabling between router and modem.
-Have tried all different wireless modes.
-Wired clients are working perfectly.
-Changed the DNS servers.
-Already did everything in this post  http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=42011.0 (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=42011.0)

Any cordless house phones?
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use InSSIDer (http://www.metageek.net/) to find out. How many?

Is channel 1, 6 or 11 available? You need to use one of these channels.

I have looked at both links you posted and followed them carefully but no improvement on wireless problems.

-Yes,but it is using DECT 6.0
-Plenty of connections in my area about 15+ connections.
-Have changed it to channel 6, that has about 3 people on it.

Seems that you area is congested with 2.4Ghz WiFi, I recommend that you upgrade to 5Ghz WiFi will probably help your wireless problems.

Examples:

Do my wireless devices have to be compatible with dual band to work with a new 5 GHz  router?

(ex.Xbox,Laptop, Iphone)

I was just taking a quick look at the routers logs, and noticed repeating restarts of the wireless router. (DIR 655)

Review the Managing signal congestion link information.
Test the router with the wireless radio turned off.

Re-flashed the latest firmware, and did a hard reset has done the job for now.

9 hours up time ,and no disconnects or restarts on wireless.
