D-Link SharePort enabled Product Model:
DIR-825

D-Link Product FW Version:
1.13NA,  2010/01/21

Operating System being used (Windows XP?, Vista?, Win 7 32 or 64 bit, Mac OS 10.5 or 10.6, etc) including any Service Packs or 32/64 bit information:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1

SharePort Version:
3.1.0 R1 (SXUPTP Driver : 3.4.6.0)

USB Product (Printer, Disk Drive, or other device) Model and Driver Version:
Canon PIXMA MP-600

Describe the issue:
When trying to connect to the printer using the SharePort utility, the utility will somtimes go in an infinite loop try to connect and disconnect the printer. It first tries to connect which takes ~15 seconds (much longer than normal) then it turns the icon green saying it successfully connected, then it immediate disconnects the devices with an error message saying "Canon printer failed to disconnect properly", then it goes back trying to connect and the same thing keeps happening over and over again. The only solution is to reboot the router. After that it connects perfectly and stays connected. After a few days, you get the same problem again and you have to reboot the router.

Describe the steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Reboot the router
2. Connect the printer to the router
3. Run SharePort on your PC
4. Connect to the printer using SharePort
5. Wait a few days, the printer will be disconnected
6. Try connecting again
Expected: it connects
Actual: it goes into an infinite connect/disconnect loop.

Router Model Number/Hardware Revision/Firmware Version: not Router, instead DNS-323/v4/1.0.9
SharePort Version (should be 3.0): 3.0.0 R1 (SXUPTP Driver: 3.3.8.0)
USB Device that you are connecting to: Brother DCP-7030 MFP
OS: Windows XP SP3

Problem: Printing works great.
             Scanning: Scanning applications recognize the scanner (connected, listed in "Scanner and Cammeras, etc), but can't get it actually work.

Disabled firewall on router and OS, didn't help

I can provide a network trace if you like

Guys,  if Shareport doesn't work for you try the original SX Virtual Link by Silex. Here's the link on one of the forums/blog.

http://www.techgremlin.com/2009/08/20/d-link-shareport-update/

Here's my current config.
- DIR-655 FW 1.33NA (main router) <---- DI-524 (as access point, connected to main router)
- SX Virtual Link Version 3.4.0 (check out the link in techgremlin for info)
- HP C4280 printer
- Windows Vista Home Premium

My current uptime is 4 days 7 hours. No hassle so far thanks to virtual link (w/c is the original SharePort). My shared printer on the router works great and performs the way it suppose to; printer, USB stick, External HDD all detected in all workstations.

This is the best solution I have seen for dlink's shareport.  SX Virtual Link is the way to go.

This is the best solution I have seen for dlink's shareport.  SX Virtual Link is the way to go.

Funny that you would say that now. Silex is no longer hosting Virtual Link 3.4.0. It's a 404. Their current version is 3.6.2 from 12/19/10. Has anyone tested that?

So I tried it with Silex 3.6.2, and DIR-655 on 1.33NA, on my Win 7 laptop, firewall exceptions applied at installation. Tried connecting to a USB hard drive. Now the Silex SW is repeatedly connecting and disconnecting every 10 seconds.
Oops, forgot it works better when you reboot the router. So far, so good.

Might be a keeper after all.

Not two days later, although Silex says connected, it will only stay connected for less than a minute and even when it is connected, it no longer recognizes the USB drive I have connected to it.

I have 2 routers DIR 655 and DIR 825 in different places but I use my laptop in both places. I installed Shareport for the 825 and it works fine. I seem to be unable to install Shareport for the 655. It just doesn't seem to load. The Shareport that I installed for the 825 does not recognize any devices on the 625 network. A desktop on the 625 network has no problem seeing the printer.
Are Shareports for the 2 different routers not different and not compatible.

Using DIR-655 FW 1.35NA HW A4, Shareport 3.0.0 R1
Windows 7 64
Trying to use USB port with WD Passport 1TB HD.
Shareport can connect with drive no problems now but I cannot access the drive at all.
Was prompted to format drive which I did but still no luck.
Shows up as Local Disk H but the My Computer window will eventually lockup.
Also noticed since installing Sharport My Network window takes forever to display any content if it even does before locking up.
Have tried turning off Windows firewall which improved Sharports ability to connect to drive but it is still totally useless.
Shareport can never disconnect from the drive so I always have to force shutdown.
Love the router but Shareport is total crap.  The Netgear solution ReadyShare is much better, does not require a client to be installed and has no impact to system performance.

D-Link SharePort enabled Product Model:

D-Link Product FW Version: DIR-825 1.13NA

Operating System being used (Windows XP?, Vista?, Win 7 32 or 64 bit, Mac OS 10.5 or 10.6, etc) including any Service Packs or 32/64 bit information: Win 7 64-bit SP 1

SharePort Version:  v3.1.0

USB Product (Printer, Disk Drive, or other device) Model and Driver Version:  Seagate Expansion 1TB external USB 2.0


Describe the issue: When I attempt to connect to the drive, using a wired connection, it connects but doesn't appear in the "Computer" screen and then shortly thereafter, disconnects.  Happens about 90% of the time and often takes a combination of rebooting the router and/or the PC to make a good connection.  Doesn't happen with my GF's laptop using a wireless conncetion

Describe the steps to reproduce the issue:

D-Link SharePort enabled Product Model: DIR-632

D-Link Product FW Version: 1.01NA

Operating System being used (Windows XP?, Vista?, Win 7 32 or 64 bit, Mac OS 10.5 or 10.6, etc) including any Service Packs or 32/64 bit information: Win 7 64-bit SP 1 (2 systems)

SharePort Version:  v3.0.0 R1

USB Product (Printer, Disk Drive, or other device) Model and Driver Version:  Western Digital 2TB external USB 2.0/3.0 MyBook

Describe the issue: Transferred to/from the drive is slow as molasses in January flowing uphill -- usually in the range of 500-800 kB/s; occurs both on wired and wireless connections; intermittent disconnections from the drive from both systems; intermittent non-detection of drive.

Describe the steps to reproduce the issue: Reset router, shut off wireless and tested with single wired connection, disconnected uplink to ISP, reinstalled SharePoint -- no change whatsoever.  Direct USB connection to system results in 20+ MB/sec transfers.

Following earlier advice in this thread, I just installed SX Virtual Link v3.6.2 and giving it a whirl to see if it's the fault of the SharePort utility, or whether the USB port on the router is **** (my bet).

Seriously D-Link, get it together.

Well, after switching to SX Virtual Link, I'm now getting transfer speeds in the 4.0-4.5 MB/sec range on wired and 2.0-2.5 MB/sec on wireless.  Still having intermittent connection problems when on wireless.

So, it looks like SharePort was a good portion of the problem but the USB connection is still far from ideal.

Any ideas when an appropriate firmware revision might be coming out?

I have a DIR-655, Rev. B, FW 2.03NA, Sharepoint 3.0, a WD My Book Essential 1110 (1 TB USB drive) and Win7 32 bit. When I first connected the drive to Shareport, it worked perfectly. I was even able to run backups over wireless. Suddenly, I can connect to the drive and it appears in Windows Explorer. I can read the drive, but I cannot write to it except to create directories in Windows Explorer. Attempting to copy files just results in Explorer giving me a box that says "Calculating" for the time remaining, file sizes and transfer rate.

I connected the drive directly to two of my computers and it worked perfectly on each. However, it no longer works on the Starepoint with either wired or wireless connections. I uninstalled Sharepoint and reinstalled it, but that had no effect. I have rebooted the router which makes no difference. Sharepoint is excepted in the Windows Firewall on all machines.

Since the drive works perfectly while connected directly to the computers, I believe that the problem must either be in the software or the router, but I can't determine which.
