Title: DIR-825 - LAN internet works for 30 seconds and dies
Post by: CASRkfd68 on September 09, 2009, 08:57:42 AM

My previous D-Link router died.  I had good success with it, so kept it in the family.  I set it up myself without any problems.  Not so lucky with the DIR-825.

After hours of work over several days, I am at wits end.  I have read some of the posts and I know enough to know I do not really know what I am doing.  Faking my way through it.

Plugging my cable directly into my cable modem (Comcast) works great, no problems.  Installing the DIR-825 for wireless, no problems.  Getting my LAN to work for my desktop, major problems.  I have gotten it to work for seconds at a time, then it dies.

Desperately seeking help  :o

 :D Updating the firmware may have solved it.  My desktop has stayed connected to the internet for several minutes now.  Hurray.

For those reading, note that you need to long-reset the router and reboot everything (including the computer), so if you already have stuff typed into 2 laptops and 2 tivos......you may want to write some stuff down :)
