Hi,
I have the D-Link 615 Hardware:C1 and firmware:3.11NA.
I configured it, tried it with an older laptop, which is the one I use the most. The older laptop can find the router easily and connect to it, even if the wireless adapter in the laptop only supports 802.11g. I can even see a bunch of wireless routers from my neighborhood!
I have a brand new Samsung BluRay player, with Wi-Fi protected setup enabled, and it too can easily find my router, and connect to it. It too can see a few more wireless routers from my neighborhood (but less than I can see with my older laptop).
I have a 2nd laptop, which is brand new, running Windows7, with a wireless adapter supporting 802.11n. For some reason, when I browse all the wireless routers accessible to the new laptop it finds a whole lot more than my older laptop finds, but it doesn't find my own D-Link router. So I'm assuming this must be a setting that is mis-configured on my router, since I can see a bunch of different routers from my neighborhood: a bunch of different brands of routers, some supporting 802.11g only, some 802.11n...
This is not a "connection" problem, since I cannot even see the wireless router, in the list of available wireless routers...
My router is set to "visible", it's set to "WPA-Personal" with "Auto (WPA or WPA2)", using cypher "TKIP and AES", with a pre-shared key. I have "Auto Channel Scan" enabled. It's running "Mixed" 802.11 mode (n, g, b).
Can anyone help? What should I be looking for, in terms of configuration setting in my router?
Thanks
