Where did you get FW for this router? I see nothing has been released for the EU as of yet for v1.01.

[FurryNutz]

So is this v1.01 working for your router? Where did you get it from?

[swetoast]

its working to the extent that it drops a little less and i got it from mailing support at dlink but still the overall experience with this router hasn't been as good as with the DIR 655 where i had 0 issues except that it wasn't lightning proof

[FurryNutz]

None I guess.

[swetoast]

Well as it seems im not alone in this with wireless being messed up and since we covered the basics and tired most options there has to be something that makes wireless mess up

I had the same issues with wireless dropping in random intervalls. I tried all options listed above, and it seemed that nothing worked. But than I tried to disable the n-mode running b+g and the problem has totally dissappeared. I have the A1 hardware version and the v1.0 firewire. I am sure that there is a bug in the firewire as Martin Blank wrote above.

[swetoast]

I would agree too that but i cant disable G since my Wii needs it so stuck with the "bugs" until a fix is available

[FurryNutz]

How about running a separate AP or router for the Wii? That way you could run N mode and use the other AP for the Wii and G devices.

URGH... rather see D-Link do actual test to determine if there is a bug present since so many have the same problem again i truly hope that D-link personal checks these forums

[FurryNutz]

currently there priorities are working with the main developers of the WPS system as that has been compromised so ALL Mfrs are having to refocus on getting that fixed. I've been told that there won't be any new FW releases until that issue has been resolved. No time frame either when that will be.

[swetoast]

ofc WPS should be first priority then i hope that they focus back on the firmware and take a look at these forums cause its not just me thats had this problem

[FurryNutz]

Time will tell.

OK I am confused after reading all 3 pages here. Why not simply RMA the defective units for ones that work. Why are folks settling for disabling features that you paid for when you purchased the router rather then holding D-Link responsible to provide working units?

Trying to troubleshoot to see if there are other causes to the issue before RMAg. Could be external interferences that can cause wireless to not work well. If we can trouble shoot some of the options then that helps narrow down if the unit should be RMAd or not.

Maybe it is just me but if your unit works in straight .11g but not in .11n then that says to me it is the unit. If you have to turn off QoS to get your router to work then you are not getting the use of features you paid for.

Personally after reading this thread, a couple of other threads, and my personal experience with D-Link I really wonder how they stay in business. It has taken me 9 months to finally get them to RMA my defective DGL-4500 then they send me not 1 but 2 defective replacement units. Then I am told that the DGL-4500 is EOL stage so I can pick a unit of the equivalent value. I pick the DIR-857 which is on the D-Link site I was sent to pick a new model from only to be told it is not being released till Q2. So I decide on the DIR-827 only to be told it is out of stock. Even though it is available via the D-Link Shop. I am told that the vendors get priority product shipment and units are not held back for potential RMA issues. So I settle for a DIR-657 which is being shipped out to me today. Now reading this forum I am just hoping that I am not going to have to RMA the DIR-657 when it gets here.
