D-Link DIR-655 HW:A4 doesn't work with Intel WiFi 5100?
« on: January 22, 2009, 02:23:42 PM »

Hi,

I just replaced my DIR-655 A3 with a brand new A4 version!
After reading some good comments about it, regarding a massive re-design of the PCB making it produce less heat etc...

Well, it took me about 5min before I ran into my first MAJOR issue with this new toy.
My Lenovo ThinkPad SL-300 with it's Intel WiFi 5100 isn't able to connect to wireless WHATSOEVER when it comes to N-network, I'm used to enabling N-only and have 150mpbs, now it wont even connect when running N-only and in G/N - mode I get a max of 54mbps?

EDIT:

Another note is the fact that it's not possible to downgrade to 1.11?
It's shipped with 1.20 so I can't go back to 1.11? And as 1.20 and 1.21 is rather crappy this is a real shame :(

I have A3 1.11, and don't have heat issues even though 3 external network switches are connected to it and 24 nodes (network devices) are active through it.  A4 is designed different than the A3 but you should be able to connect. The firmwares is another story though.
