I have no issues (to start with)
But I have my Samsung on powersave. I did set Shareport to connect automatically when a print command is given and prolonged the disconnect time to 120 seconds after giving the print command. The printer needs some time to resume from powersave.

If this is the cause of the issue I would laugh my balls off, by the way  (no offense intended to Monolith, it's the plain simplicity of this possibility)

I turned on my external hard disk and it is always on because it doesn't have
autopower feature. And I turned off my printer's autopower on/off feature.
But still same problem.

Hi there,

I am normally a lurker, but I have been reading this thread with interest and had to post.

Turn off auto power on/off in printer settings?

I have been having the same problem as other people with having to reboot the router because SharePort does not connect. SharePort sees my printer (Canon Pixma IP4000) and I can print after my DIR-655 A4 has been rebooted, but after some time, it will no longer connect.

For the past two days though, it has been working perfectly. All I did was disable the auto power on/off power saver on my printer. Basically, I leave my printer on all the time. Could someone else perhaps check if you printer's power saving features are activated/deactivated?

I may be just lucky though, so I will post again if the error returns.

I think you just got lucky because that wouldn't explain why rebooting to printer doesn't work but rebooting DIR-655 does. If that was the reason it would be the other way around.

Anyway I just checked my powersave settings and it was at just 5 minutes (with no option of turning it completely off). I know for a fact that it works long after 5 minutes when i reboot, and I think all it does is to turn off the display anyway.

Another thing is that it's not only happening with printers, but all kinds of USB-devices, so i very much doubt the problem is in the usb-device.

I posted this in the other thread, but since this one is much larger, I put it here also.

Hardware: A1
Firmware: 1.31NA
Shareport: 1.10
USB device: Canon Pixma iP2600 Printer
PC no.1: Desktop with Windows 7 RC 64bit, wired connection
PC no.2: Sony Vaio Z590 with Windows 7 RC 32bit, wireless N connection
PC no.3: Sony Vaio T250 with Windows XP SP3, wireless G connection

Problem: Same problem as others.  Printer works after router reboot for a couple of hours. After that it will be unable to connect.  If I then reboot the router again everything will start working automatically for a few hours.  Rebooting the computers, the printer, or shareport itself does not help. Only rebooting the DIR-655 works.

Anyone want to buy a DIR 655 A2 that is actualy working (mine)? 

[valleyboy221]

I'd hang on to it - it sounds like a collector's item, a router that works.

Just add a smiley (           ) and you get the idea

Maybe your system is just so bad that it just works ok when it really should be broken. Or maybe you are just so in love to your A2 that you just can not see it faults.
 

[lotacus]

No faults here with my A2 either.

No, I can distinguish the difference between a device and a woman 

[Xinot]

No, I can distiguish the difference between a device and a woman 

And winner is? 
At least it should be possible to get this device work like it logically should work.
Female logic is... different story ... ...

ps. any news about 1.32? beta? something? 

[EddieZ]

No news here. The gates of Perestroijka have closed on me. 

[MemphisPCGuy]

Last word from Tech support was they couldnt reproduce the problem. So until they can, gonna be hard to fix it. There are definite changes since the beta which makes the Beta kinda useless if you ask me The Shareport Utility version number changed (confusing) and things are added back (802.11b etc) and then released "untested"

[EddieZ]

Well, I'm not unhappy with 1.31. No issues and Sharport working great with the new features.

But I guess I'm alone in this....

It seems that there are other unhappy Dlink users out there:

What has happened to the dlink engineers that were taking an interest in the problem?
