Hi I am new here. I have a Model # dir-628 Hardware Version A2 Firmware version 1.24NA Shareport version 3.0.0 R1 (SXUPTP Driver : 3.3.8.0) USB device Samsung Printer scx-4521f. Running 4 computers 1 -xp pro, 1 - xp mce, 2 - windows seven home.
I have had this router since early October and as a router it is fine it does what it is supposed to. As to the usb function I hate it and this is why I bought it so I could share my printer in the network without the basement computer having to be on. I passed the 30 days otherwise I would have returned it already.This shareport utility is nothing but trouble. It is constantly giving me the message that it did not disconnect properly and it just cycles through this endlessly. The only way out of this is to pull the power on the router. When a computer is connected to the router the printer works fine but it seems once I have connected to one computer and request the use of the printer by another computer it is the end of the sharing and I have to go and unplug the router and restart. When I first installed it I upgraded the firmware to the latest version and also the shareport utility to the latest version. I would like to be able to print at any time from any of my computers. Is this even remotely possible or are my expectations to high. Will I have the same problem when I connect a harddrive to this router?
Thanks.
