Just adding that i have the pioneer 1020-k and the 1522. The amp does indeed disconnect after about 15-30 mins even if it's not connected to the 1522. I thought i was going mad but then I found this so thanks. Worst case i will swap out the 1522 and sell it to someone who doesn't have a Pioneer AV receiver...! It's a shame as their doesn't seem to be too many alternatives to the 1522 bridge that also have a built-in gigabit ethernet hub/switch....

Thanks Crisal,

It is a real shame that neither Pioneer nor D-Link seem the least bit interested in doing anything about this problem.  Like you, I am amazed at how difficult it is to find alternative bridge/access points that integrate a gigabit switch.  However, using this one means I can't really use the internet radio function on my Pioneer VSX-1020k since it invariably drops out after 15 - 30 minutes.  It was really annoying this year while trying to listen to my alma mater's (Oswego State) hockey team over internet radio.  Every 15 minutes or so I would have to power down the receiver and power it back on to reconnect.  I'm sure it would take either company less than a day to research and solve this problem yet they can't be bothered.  Very sad.

Let me say this though, the 1522 has worked otherwise extremely well.  It allowed me to upgrade my old DIR-614+ 802.11b router to wireless n without buying a new router and re-entering all my port forwarding, static addressing, and mac filtering information.  Big time saver.  Range has been excellent and all other components remain connected without issue.

I can't tell you how happy I am am to have found this thread.  I am having the exact same issue with my 1020.  I have a DAP-1522 not even near the receiver and have been having this issue for months!  I just tried another bridge and will wait to see if it fixes the problem.

I have had a simalar issue with my new SC-57  When i connect to network it locks up my home netork. In order to clear I must reset all devices including cable modem. any ideas?

What HW version is your DAP?
What FW version is currently loaded?
Do you have a host router? Make, Model, FW and HW versions?
How are you connecting to the DAP? Wired or wireless?

Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the host router or DAP.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

What wireless modes are you using?
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?
What security mode are you using? WEP, WPA or WPA2? Preferred is WPA-Personal. WPA2/Auto TPIK and AES.

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?
If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems.

Well, I believe I have the initial HW version, with firmware 1.21.  My router is also DLink, the older 614+ (which only had wireless b, thus the upgrade to the 1522 in order to get wireless N).  The 1522 is hardwired by CAT6 to the 614+, though also routed through an additional Belkin switch.  My Pio 1020 is also connected to the switch via CAT6, so it is not even connected to the 1522, but still drops network connection every 15 - 30 minutes if the 1522 is powered up.

My devices have reserved addresses via the 614+.  I'm using mixed G and N mode wireless, though the Pio 1020 is not using wireless at all.  Using WPA2/AES on the 1522.

I don't think the cable modem (my own MOTO 6120 via Comcast) has a thing to do with this problem, as it clearly is related to the 1522.

[FurryNutz]

Ok, so let me get the right,
You have 6120 modem(great modem BTW) > network switch><614+ router><1522
                                                                                 ><Pioneer AVR running off switch?

AVR is wired and when you turn on the DAP it drops connection if the AVR is on? or Off or both? AVR disconnected?

Any other WiFi routers and such near by? Use InSSIDer application to see who's around you.

What brand is the switch?
Can you move the switch to after the 614+ and connecting everything to it. You can connect the AVR to the 614+ if it has additional ports along with the switch.
What HW version is the router?
What FW is currently loaded?

[iontyre]

Well actually:

SB6120 > DI-614+ > network switch > 1522
                                                  > Pioneer vsx-1020k

There are plenty of other wi-fi routers in the neighborhood, not much I can do about that.  But lots of people have reported this issue.

The switch is a Monoprice.com generic switch, but I was having the same issue previously with a Belkin switch also.  Pretty sure the switch has nothing to do with the problem.  And the switch IS after the 614+.

I think the router firmware is version 3.43, HW is the single antenna version ( I think there was a dual antenna version ).

[FurryNutz]

And if you connect both the DAP and the AVR directly to the 614+ I presume the same thing happens?
How about connecting the AVR directly to the 614+ and the DAP to the switch?

Impractical, unfortunately.  614+ is in the basement with the modem.  One line is run up to the living room to the switch, and the AVR and 1522 are connected to the switch.  Would be hard to run another 25 ft line from the basement up to the living room.

I'm not sure where you are going with all this... there are multiple examples of people having this issue, the only constant is having a Pioneer receiver and a DLINK DAP-1522 on the same network.  As far as I can tell, EVERYONE having these components together on the same network (unless your receiver is one of the high-end SC versions) experiences the network drop of the receiver.

[FurryNutz]

Trying to trouble shoot this problem here to see where we can find a possible solution. I do agree that probably both DLink and Pioneer should review this situation. I was hoping in this case to see if you were able to separate the DAP and the AVR to see if we could find a work around for you and possibly for others to use. I presume that if the AVR or DAP can be directly connected to the host router, that the other connected to the switch might resolve the problem. Also it would be interesting to see if this happens when both are connected directly to the host router. Maybe possible that a different router would be good too. Sorry I don't have this model AVR. I mines an old tx-47. Still love it. I wish it had HDMI however we just connect everything direct into the tv.

Would you be willing to provide some more information like exact make and model and any firmware versions of the host router, DAP and AVR? I can see if my contact at Dlink will review this. I cant' guarantee anything.

It would be good if you could try connecting the DAP to the Host router and the AVR to the switch and see what that does.

Also are the IP addresses reserved on the router for these devices or are they using DHCP?

[iontyre]

All devices on my network are using static IP.  Since I normally check this forum while at work I don't have access to the HW and FW versions, and I keep forgetting to get those when I am at home.

Not sure what you mean by "try connecting the DAP to the Host router and the AVR to the switch".  Do you mean connect the DAP to the router, the switch separately to the router, and the AVR to the switch?

[FurryNutz]

Yes, Host router>DAP
                      >network switch><AVR

As far as static IP, how do you have this set up. Are the IPs setup on the devices or one the host router? It's preferred to get up the (reserved) static IP addresses on the router and let it handle that. Just set up the devices to Auto Obtain IP addressing. This is one of the main purposes of a router is to handle IP addressing whether it be automatic or reserved. The router will ensure that each devices gets it's own IP address each time it's turned on and also helps in troubleshooting.

If you can get some HW and FW version of these devices it would be helpful.

Keep us posted.

[iontyre]

Yes, the static IP's are setup on the router.  I'll try to remember to get the HW and FW for you.
