Router randomly stops broadcasting
« on: March 30, 2011, 12:39:49 PM »

Hi
I just bought a dlink 655 from amazon and for some reason the router stops broadcasting on wifi. I cannot connect to it through my laptop or ps3. The only thing that fixes this is removing the plug from the back of it and putting it back in, once i do this, the SSID shows up once again and all is well until the next day (or 2 days after)

weird. any ideas? i thought about upgrading the firmware but I'm on 2.00NA which is weird because the dlink shows a version before that to be the latest

I purchased my 655 to resolve exactly this same problem with my old Linksys WRT54G. I have had zero problems with the D-Link. I tried every configuration I could think of with the Linksys to no avail. You might try variuos configurations, but you may want to return the router for a replacement if that doesn't work fairly quickly.

Try using single mode G to test. Try Mixed G and N if you have N devices.

Any near by WiFi routers or house cordless phones?
