Ok, I can confirm that IPv6 addresses are not being handed out to my Mac Book Pro OSX 10.7.5. I tired Local Only connection and enabled Auto Detection on the IPv6 Manual Internet and Enabled the Local LAN options as well, rebooting and watch my network settings to populate. Only IPv4 populated. 

I have sent this to my contact at D-Link for there review. Please be patient while the information is reviewed.

This is what I did too, except I was running Windows 7.  At Rev 1.01, an IPv6 address was assigned, but Rev 1.02 did not assign an address.

After 24 hours, my devices are still connected. No disconnects at all.

Not saying it is fixed, but a good step in that direction. I'm keeping one router up with the same settings, going to test out g with AES shortly on the other router.

JDW, whenever you can, if you can give me your exact settings you used, that would be helpful. For Mode G with AES (20hz mode etc)

Just to compare.

Reviewing what I tested early, it took me 2.5 days (powering off at night, on at morning) before the router started malfunctioning on Mode N.

Anyway, here were my setting to get Mode G to fail:

Mode G only, Channel 11, WPA2 Only, AES Only, and medium power setting.  Everything else was factory default.

What has been the behavior of the router if you don't power off the router at night then back on in the morning? Usually these routers don't need to be powered off at all.

Leaving it powered on, the wireless connection eventually quit.  My cable modem, router, tv, etc... all go to one power strip, so it's very easy to completely power everything off at night when they are not in use (saving a little money).

Can you do us a test and put the routers power adapter on a separate power strip or wall out let with out any other devices connected? Wondering if there could be some problem with all your devices connected to one strip on one out let. It's not recommended to put T.V.s on the same circuit as other devices as t.v.'s draw more power. Also could be introducing some interferences on the power line.

Ah, ok. Going to test that out shortly to see if I can reproduce that.

Loaded up my other router with the same settings as him. Have two devices connected. Will update accordingly.

Channel 11 - WPA 2 - AES Only - Mode G -


Been about 10 minutes so far.

Also, the other router is still connected with my other devices using N. A day and a half straight. We'll see how it goes.

Edit: JDW are you running with channel autoscan on or off?

[JoeKhar]

Been on for over 30 minutes. No disconnect on those settings. Started connecting other devices to it, no change in status.

I do have channel scan off though. On some routers that has been known to give some issues with some router setups and proximity to other routers (constantly switching channels).

My Wireless N settings seem to be working for the time being. I'm going to leave them as is. No declaring anything fixed. I am going to leave it this way for a week and see what happens.

I tested this, and the router still failed.

Connected to power strip A was only the router and the cable modem (Motorola SB6121).
Connected to power strip B was the tv, etc....

Anyway, I turned off power strip B, rebooted the router and cable modem, and the router still failed without power strip B ever being turned on.

If I get the time, I may try moving the router to a different location to see if anything changes.  Any other ideas?

Channel auto-scan off.  Manually set to channel 11.

Any updates on this?

[FurryNutz]

Let us know if you can try a different power strip or directly into the wall out let just to be sure.

Maybe someone can review your router settings with you using Link> teamviewer if your interested. Its safe and secure.

took a few days, but it finally disconnected. Not accepting anymore connections. Have to reboot everything (routers).

There is nothing left on my side to troubleshoot. I have redone every single setting in pretty much every combination.

Back to G.

[FurryNutz]

Can you list your wireless devices?

Maybe someone can review your router settings with you using Link> teamviewer if your interested. Its safe and secure. I would like to have a look at the router settings if possible.

Honestly. It doesn't matter if I have just one device connected, or five. I've been in IT for awhile. This type of thing isn't new to me. Just for giggles I reinstated the old dir-655 and it hasn't disconnected anything when running full N AES for the past few days.

I've hit every setting. Changed it one by one to make sure that nothing was missed. I'll just have to get some better routers.

I took a couple days off work to go over every setting and log I had from every device that would allow it. It's all about the encryption, it stops accepting connections about a couple days in. Just like with JDW's router.

I'm still going to get some d-link routers. Everybody has bad products every once and awhile. Glad I caught them on sale for 20 dollars a piece (newegg special at the time). Or I'd be really upset.

Oh well.

[FurryNutz]

Can I ask where you are located? U.S.?

What Rev model is your 655?
