I've been lurking this forum for nearly a year now, since getting a DIR-655, and I've had random loss of wireless access at least once a day, sometimes 2-3 times a day. 

While browsing around the settings looking for a way to increase the DHCP lease times I noticed the expiration times were way in the past. Like January 1970 or some such.

Then I looked around and saw that date/time for the router was wrong.  ("Current Router Time").

So i set up Enable NTP Server (Tools->Time->AUTOMATIC TIME CONFIGURATION).

Ever since doing that I haven't had a single loss of wireless connectivity.  Rock solid.  For weeks now.

For those of you who are experiencing dropped wireless connections, this is one more thing for you to try.  I hope it helps you.

What were your symptoms when you dropped your wireless connections?  Did it seem like the router shut off its wireless radio, and had to be rebooted to re-enable it?  Also, what hardware revision do you have?

1. Symptom:  All wireless devices lost internet access.  All wired devices worked fine.

2. Did it seem like the wireless radio was off?  No, I could still see the SSID.  But at that point none of my wireless devices would reconnect.  Had to reboot to get wireless access to work.  Actually power cycled every time.  (easy enough for my kids to do it when it happened)

3. HW revision - I have the B1. 


FYI - my software rev was 2.00NA.

what did u do again to fix?

I did:  Tools, Time, AUTOMATIC TIME CONFIGURATION, Enable NTP Server (put a check the checkbox).  Then Save. 

Oh, and I specified the ntp1.dlink.com as the time server.
