Title: DIR 825 Rev A1 USB feather doesn't work.
Post by: papa3271 on December 09, 2009, 12:13:09 AM

Hi:
My dir825 is hooked to a new dell dimension running W/7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have comcast cable as isp. I want to hook up a SeaGate 1.5tb usb2 harddrive so I can share it on my network. I've download S/P but it doesn't reconize the usb port. I've tried hooking up 2 different printers and its still doesn't reconize it. If I hook the SeaGate usb drive directly to the W/7 Ultimate 64-bit Dell Dimenion it immediately and it also will reconize the printers if I hook them to the computer just won't reconize them if i use the usb port on the dir825. Any ideas?

Correct setup (USB settings-> Shareport)?

Do you have a 3rd party firewall installed?

I have exactly the same problem.  Try this:

(1) Unplug your router from the power source
(2) Unplug your USB printer cable from your router
(3) Plug in your router and wait until it is up and running
(4) Plug in your printer to the USB port on the router

The USB light should light up and the printer should appear in Shareport

Alternate
(1) Unplug your printer cable from your router
(2) Press the reset button (do not hold, just press)
(3) When the router has re-booted plug in the printer cable to the router the USB light will come on and the printer will appear in shareport

There appears to be an error when the printer is plugged in on boot up, it disconnects the printer in an incorrect way (similar to unplugging a USB cable from your computer without unloading it first)

No idea if its the Shareport software or the router firmware?  I did reinstall the firmware didn't cure it.

DLINK needs to fix this problem.  I took my original router back, but the replacement is exactly the same.  I also tested my friends (he doesn't use Shareport so didn't realize the problem) his does it too.  I always unplug my printer when I switch off and plug it in after the router boots up, I don't have a problem after that, both my wife and I can print from our respective computers no problem.

My firmware 2.02NA  Hardware: B1

If you use the 5Ghz wireless this has a problem too sometimes it works other times it doesn't (mine does it so does my friends).  I always switch my router off after I'm done (ECO friendly), sometimes I have to switch the router off 3 or 4 times before the 5Ghz works.

Hope this helps.

This worked perfect.  Unplug the DIR825, turn off your printer.  Plug in the USB printer.  Plug in the router, turn on the printer, viola.

WinXP SP3 with no firmware update and the Share off the CD bought 6 months ago.
