Hello everyone!
I have been forced to register on here and ask for help as nothing I do/in the forums seems to solve the following problem:

My DIR 655 is refusing to act like a router and more like a normal switch. Anything involving the router side of things (DHCP,firewall,wireless, etc) does not work.

Basically when it powers up the blue power light comes on and that's it. If I plug my cable modem into the wan port then this light comes on with nothing else. If I then proceed to plug a cable into Lan 1 I get the address of my cable modem assigned to my computer and all internet access is fine. As opposed to being assigned an address from the router's DHCP. If I plug a cable from another router into any of the lan ports on the DIR 655 then I get assigned addresses from that router's DHCP and all internet access is routed through.

I have tried all of the following and nothing changes:
Connecting to the DIR 655 admin on 192.168.0.1 - connection times out.
Doing both a reset (pressing button on back) and/or hard reset (30-30-30) - nothing changes.
Getting to the emergency firmware page - blue light never changes to amber and the connection to 192.168.0.1 times out.

I could really use some help as I have officially run out of ideas and would rather not have an expensive looking switch.

My Dir 655 is a V4 with the 1.31EU firmware.

Seems that you done everything to get the router to come to ready or respond. I would try using a different pc and test. Its possible your unit has died. I would contact your local regional DLink support office and see if you can RMA this unit.
