Losing wireless connections to devices
« on: February 05, 2012, 02:48:02 PM »

New to this forum, and appologies if this has been asked.  My Dlink router has been working fine until recently.  The only changes I made was to try to put time limits on my kids' devices, through Tools->Schedules and Advanced-> access control.
Things worked Ok, but I soon realized I had to reserve each kids' device DHCP number, or so I thought(?)  Anyhow, now I seem to have to log into my dlink router weekly as their wireless connection stops each week.  Not sure if it affects the non-reserved wireless devices.
Not sure what's happening or what I did wrong.  Running the following:
DIR615
hardware Version B2
Firmware 2.25
Under DHCP Server settings:
Enable DHCP server - checked
Addrss range 192.168.0.100 to 192.169.0.199   Note - reserved ips in that range
Lease time 1440 minutes
Always broadcast - checked
rest blank
NetBIOS type Mixed mode.

I have no idea what other setting items one might need.  Thanks for your help.  Ps, I would describe my skills in this area as far from advanced!

ome things to try:
Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual? You can find these under Status/Device Info/Wan section.
Turn off ALL QoS (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options. Advanced/QoS or Gamefuel.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.

Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking.

After setting up reserved IP addresses, then ensure you set up scheduling for the time frames you want to block or allow the connections. Then use Access Control to apply the scheduling and policy for those devices you want to manage.
