Want a review of ur router settings?

sure, can't hurt

[FurryNutz]

Send me a PM with teamviewer ID and PW.
Please be wired to the router and clear the admin PW to the  router as we might have to do some reboots.

Just to update furry looked at my settings, changed a few. Was working great last night.

Today on the other hand no so good I stayed connected longer but I still get dced, the only up side is that it connected quick now. Just have to find out how to keep it connected lol.

Any more idea's? Or would it be best just to make it an AP since my ISP's modem can do routing?

[FurryNutz]

Was this playing MW3 or just connecting to XBL dash board?

[GrimNights]

Was playing ME3 at the time, got kicked off the game server, then couldn't log back in for a while. Only got kicked off XBL once after that.

Connection to XBL is speedy and stays connected longer as far as I can see but I am still being dced for some odd reason.

[FurryNutz]

Ok, I'm going to see if any one at Dlink can look at this.
Possible could ideas I have:
1. This router could have a compatibility issue with XBL as I don't see it on MS XBL HW compatibility list.
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=46964.0 I just found this today.

2. This router could have and issue itself and needs to be RMA'd. Couple of ways to test this out, Take this router to a friend or families place with internet and xbl or take your xbox with it and see if the problem tracks with it. I feel that since you had been gaming with the ISP modem before that the problem will still track, However thats not to say that there is a possible compatibility issue between the ISP modem and the 645 as well. Why it could be a good test to try a different ISP modem if you can find that option. One last option would be to go to a local store that has a refund policy and get a different DLink router or even try a non DLink brand and test to see if a different router exhibits the same thing.

3. If this ISP modem only provides Internet, I might ask the ISP for a different DSL modem, even if this is the latest and test. Any chance they have a modem only with out a router?

I forgot to ask, after we played last nite, did you turn on the wireless? Or is it still off?

It is still off

1. that sucks   I also see that the 657 isn't on that either

2. I can see what i can do

3. All their modems have router built in I asked before lol

One thing I have noticed is after the QoS changes the speed matches the ISP modem directly. Where as if I tried to download anything before it would take me about a day, now about an hour. So with out the changes I was definitively being throttled by the 645.

[FurryNutz]

Ok, you can probably turn that back on.

I'll forward this on and see what I can find out. 

[FurryNutz]

One thing some one mentioned to me and I forgot to ask you about, If you are using PPPoE on the router, do you have ALWAYS ON selected? 

I have asked my resources about this. Will see what we get back.
Let us know if you can try a different router or take this one to a different location.

BTW, I have the DIR-657 and it works well on XBL, at least on my cable ISP.

Hi,

I was googling for the same situation and found this post.

I have a D3 cable modem connecting to 645, same issue, cannot get connection to Xbox live nor PSN (Playstation Network),
I've opened the TCP/UDP ports as exactly the same as my previous router, DGL-4500,
but there is no luck with DIR-645 so far with multiple tries....

[FurryNutz]

Need to remove the Port Forwarding and use QoS on the 645 and use Specific rules and not weighted. use a open rule and enter the IP address of the xbox and select P2P from the drop down menu for the preset protocols. Save and reboot the router. Ensure you have reserved the IP address for the xbox as well.

I don't use PPPoE since my ISP doesn't require it, I going to pick up a cheapy router and try it out, it will be good for me to have a back up any way

[FurryNutz]

ok, keep us posted.

[GrimNights]

Ok picked up the DIR-815 today I will get back with the results once I am done
