Rebooting router
« on: June 03, 2009, 03:40:02 AM »
Hi,

I have been reading pretty much every topic I can find on every website there is, but I can't seem to find a solution and I really hope you people can help me.

The problem is that I several times per day lose internet connection, and when that happens I am unable to log in to the router as well. It comes back up again and when I log in to the router, I can see that it has been rebooted, all statistics down to 0 etc. Sometimes this happens very frequently (a couple of times per hour) and sometimes only once per day, I see no pattern.

I have completely disabled the Wireless features as I do not have the need for that, I have 2 computers and one PS3 connected via wire.

If there is any information you would like me to post for you to be able to help me, please let me know and I will update asap.

Please help, getting very desperate.

Are you on 1.31?  If so, then:

Although this doesn't seem to share the exact same symptoms, have you tried disabling DNS relay?  Couldn't hurt.

I bought my 655 in March and about a week ago it started rebooting.  I haven't made any changes in the settings. I set it up in March and it's been running fine until about a week ago.  I upgraded to 1.21 but not 1.31. I saw too many posts about issues with 1.31 and figured I had enough problems.  I disabled the Plug n Play feature but no change. I'm not running NetBui or IPX/SPX.  I haven't done anything in months and all of a sudden it starts the reboot thing.  It's doing exactly what my DI-624 did, random reboots.  The 655 doesn't show anything in the logs, however.

I bought mine in April with A4 ver HW and upgraded FW to 1.31 due to saving settings problem. It was running fine until last night when I couldn't get Internet connection. When I looked at this router, it was constantly rebooting non-stop. So today, I upgraded it to 1.32betaNA and reset it up. It looks back to normal but who knows. Aaaargh!

In the Tools and Firmware section. In the Firmware Upgrade Notification Options uncheck the Automatically Check Online for Latest Firmware Version.

This is one of the symptoms of the freezing router thread in this forum.  what you are experiencing seem to be the same things I experience although usually not as often as you (3-4 days here).  I also experience random "wireless restarts" for no apparent reason.  The big issue is the freeze though.  The router will freeze, and you can't connect to the router to check the logs.  Some report wired pc's lose internet connection while while wireless clients can still connect (although not to the router).  The only thing you can do is hope the router resets itself if you are remote, or power cycle the router if you are physically present.  You might want to check the other thread for tips on how to resolve.  However, the solutions have not helped most.

I think I have found a piece of the puzzle regarding freezing (a.k.a. DNS ALG relay bug - a.k.a. cutting of internet after a few days) and rebooting.
Yesterday I tried the new 1.32b02 (comming from 1.21) to try and solve the stupid Žinternet goneŽ bug
Did exactly what the install instruction said: Save settings, update firmware, (factory settings by holding the hardware reset for about 10 sec) and this gives me a working router (for a few days) but to make everything complete I upload my saved settings.
That's when the trouble starts.  :(
There was something in the saved settings that made logging-in impossible and made the router keep rebooting. (until you hard factory reset it). Always you see the `measuring internet speed pageŽ o for sure...
I spend some time and found the source. It has to do with TIME settings. Either NTP settings or daylight saving.
All settings I reload (except the time settings) are OK and let me at least log into the router and let me go on internet. So setting NTP or daylight saving is a NO NO, this makes loggin in impossible and starts rebooting the thing all the time (until you factory reset it again leaving you with useless default). So maybe you all having this problem try to make your time settings as simple as possible (use copy time settings in menu and nothing more)
DLink I do not know where you fabricate this software but I would rethink this badly, really badly.

Hi I am new here so , I do not know if there is a solution here for rebooting or not. But I can tell you my solution , it took me few months to find it.

Well first of all, if router is stable while doing nothing, (no clients, only router), but when you start downloading or sending bigger portion of data it means that this may helps you.

Problem is connected with Traffic Shaping. But disabling it, will not help. The reason why router is rebooting is as I think connected with outgoing connection called Uplink Speed.
If somehow there will be more data to send than it is possible by your Internet connection speed than router reboot.(Overload). To avoid it you must make a small buffer for such situations.
For example if you have 1Mb/s outgoing connection set no 1Mb/s as maximum but 90-95% of this speed 960Kb/s. In this case router will never be overloaded. Since I use this settings my DIR-655 never reboot anymore.

See all settings

mine used to restart all the time.

Switched it from autoscan to channel 11 and it stabilized for the most part for a while...

I had my cable checked out and he replaced all the connectors and replaced my coax from the wall to the modem and it hasn't rebooted for a while now.
