how to set 5 ghz on router? If it is 300mbps router why it is impossible to get 300 or more then 130 mbps...
I use N standart only

[FurryNutz]

Are you sure your Devices support 5Ghz and connections speeds up to 300? Not all devices support this.

If you are using Single mode N. only other thing you need to make sure is the security mode to set to AES only and Channel width is set for AUTO 20/40.

Read the sticky for information.

what could be the problem so that my router's internet icon is orange instead of yellow/green? that icon was orange until now and the network worked so-so from what you can see from my previous posts :p


It turned to yellow/green by itself yesterday and works wonderful now. Could it be from my internet provider or something?

Since your on Cable, what make and model cable modem do you have?
You might try to see if you can check the ISP cable modem logs or history.
Sometimes you can go to the modem's web page at 192.168.100.1 and see. Not all modems have the same address. If you can find the logs, look for any down time around the time frame that you see the router go down. The reason the router is going down is probably due to the loss of data signal from the ISP modem and not the routers fault.

I don't have a modem and the one that provides me with internet is somewhere on the street on a lightpole so I don't have the slightest clue. It's behaving strange. If I had changed any settings, I would have understood but...? I don't know 

[FurryNutz]

The globe should be green I belive all the time unless there is a connection issue. Possible cable between the wall outlet an the modem which I would swap out. I would also call the ISP and ask them if there is any down time on your line and have them verify there connection.

[caspeer]

So it would be an outside problem. My plug-in or how it's called. The part that goes into the modem has that little tooth broken and maybe it doesn't stay all that well inside. Could that be the problem?

[FurryNutz]

the clear plastic spring lever? Yes, those are notorious for breaking off. I would get you a new cable that runs from the wall out let or where ever it comes from to the router and see. Cat6 or 5e is preferred.

[caspeer]

Yes the spring lever   OK. I'll just get a new one  
Thanks for the help

Let us know if that works.

HELLO! u helped me to solve my first problem with my router, so i guess you can can help me one more time there is a problem with connection, i think. i have a desktop pc in the house and my laptop. when i start up the desktop pc the internet connection stops on my laptop,but it shows, the signal is fine... and sometimes happens the opposite of it. also, some webpages wouldnt load, and it writes on google chrome Woops! if you have some tips or ideas please, let me know
how is the the QOS better? turned on or off?

[FurryNutz]

Turn off ALL QoS (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options. Advanced/QoS or Gamefuel.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router. Setup/Networking
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

[paul123]

I turned off QoS

i didnt find DNS Relay under Setup/Networking
i can set up only one dhcp reservation for ip addresses
all the devices are set for obtaining ip adress automatically
there is no tcp and udp option under advanced/firewall.

now i have to test it, and if it works i will let you know

[FurryNutz]

Ok, there are some features that you might not see on this particular router. The 600 series is kind of low end so theres not alot of extras like in the higher end models. Keep us posted.

[paul123]

now the desktop is turned in and i opened my laptop. the internet worked for 2 minutes, after it wrote, that no internet connection, and after wating 5 minutes it started working again... i can not understand...  maybe i made something wrong, i dont know. what do you think, will rebooting the router help me?

thanks for help anyway
