ok i'm really lost on this one.  i've tried everything i can think of.  i got rid of the stupid vonage today, so i've freed up some wasted bandwidth, if that may have been causing an issue (though i doubt it).  i've posted about this before, as i have seen others, but every few minutes, my wii is assigned an ip, and about 20 seconds later, is disconnected and the reason in the log is "received deauthentication".  i went in today and manually assigned an ip address in the router, as well as made it a permanent assignation.  then i went to my wii and manually reconfigured my wireless connection to a static ip (of course to the one i just assigned it).  it still hasn't stopped the deauthentication issue!  do i need to use the DMZ thing (although i don't really understand what that is)?  is there a chance it will help?  i don't play the wii online with other people; i just use it to access news, the "everybody votes channel", and download games basically.  i've scoured the nintendo support pages and they have some d-link routers listed with help pages, but no dir series routers, and not the dir-655.  the closest they have are a few di series routers, and i have no clue how close they are to this one.  i haven't called nintendo, as i'm sure they will say it is d-link's problem, and i should call my router company.  the funny thing is, i never seem to have a problem if i am on the wii reading the news or shopping for games or anything; i never blatantly get kicked offline.  it is really weird.
any help or insight anyone could offer would be really great!
thanks so much!
and please, try to remember that i'm low-to-mid-level in experience with technology im not a total idiot, but don't use too many big words i'll have to look up on wikipedia please thanks again!

I have this problem as well. I changed to WPA2 only but that did not end the problem, my logs are still full of received deauthentication for my Wii and one of my 2 Thinkpads. I really wish D-Link would address this problem, as the internet is starting to get full of people wondering what's going on w/ received deauthentication, yet there is no official response or honest to god solution available yet.

Please help!

Are you guys running any MAC filtering on the network?

[kckevin]

I've got the same problem and I am not running any MAC filtering.  I've made the same changes to my network as the above posters.

[kckevin]

Any advice?  I'll give anything a try.

Exactly: net is PLENTY of "received deauthentication" problem with any kind of device attached to dir-655... something really big happened and seems D-Link didnīt wake up till now...

Lycan: I was running DIR-655 with MAC filtering on... I turned it off, but the problem not disappear, but I had an improvement... now I have much less "received deauthentication"

It's something that I'm looking in to. I need to try to replicate this in our labs.

I'd love to hear the outcome of this - I have the same problem: A dir-655 that frequently drops connections to a variety of pc's when running in WPA/WPA2 AES mode at high speeds.

If I change router settings to WEP and the router drops speed to 54 Mbps then everything is fine.

There's lots of postings outside this forum on the same problem, some where DIR-655 users claim that by reverting to older firmware versions (or newer beta versions) they can beat the problem. Not sure how reliable that info is, but I'd sure like a definitive solution. I'm running a 1.11 Firmware. Thanks.

I fixed my deauthentication/drop problems rather quickly by applying 2 Windows XP hotfixes, updating my N adapter drivers and forcing WAP2 w/AES on the router.

Here are the hotfixes I applied, you should be able to find the links easily enough by searching the KB#'s. I compared the network files in both of these to the ones in my system32 folder and determined that I was out-of-date. I think 893* fixed my problem then I applied 917* just to be as up-to-date as possible. Give it a shot, can't hurt!

WindowsXP-KB893357-v2-x86-ENU.exe
WindowsXP-KB917021-v3-x86-ENU.exe

EricP thanks for the idea, but we are looking at how to prevent deauthentication on a Nintendo Wii. 

Anyone get this to work better yet?  Nothing I've tried makes a difference.

Sorry got my threads mixed up

i am not running mac filtering, as i cannot even figure out what that is.  i am computer illiterate.  i just ran the update from 12/5/2007.  i am trying to get things set up for the wii and ps3 to be on static ips, as we just switched from xbox360 to ps3, and ps3 keeps getting bumped out of online rooms; 360 never did that.  i have my husband convinced it is their servers, as ps3's are selling like hotcakes and their servers probably aren't big enough to handle it, like 360 after xmas.  anything happens, he wants to blame the router *rolling eyes*  men.  they are such babies.   but please help here!
thanks!

Check the NAT ENDPOINT Filter/ SPI settings. Turn SPI off and change the ENDPOINT filters to endpoint independent.

This did not work, nor did I need to do this on my DIR 625 or my DI-634M. Still repeat deauths. Firmware 1.11 and hardware A3. intel wireless 2200bg

Does the de-auth stop if the encryptionis removed?
