Hi,

Thanks for replay.

Could post the log?

Worst case scenario is that your wireless part is DOA.

Wireless init fail = RMA.

Switch works, wireless is kaputt

You can apply for a replacement with your reseller/retailer. If that fails send Lycan a PM.

  GOOD NEWS: after several resets to factory defaults wireless started and now is up and running. No idea why :-(. I unplugged and plugged it to see if it will be still alive, but it is still working. What do you think should I replace it anyway (I still can) or now all should be all right?

[Demonized]

How long is your guarantee holding out? See how it goes for a while. There is still a chance it works out OK, but also a chance that it 's flakey and drops connections.

[Lycan]

I would see RMA anyway. That is a telltail sign of the radio starting to go the way of the dodo.

[pitaron]

Thanks, I've replaced it. The new one is with firmware 1.21. Just small question: I stored configuration in a file. Can I download it to the new router or I should set it manually?

[davevt31]

You should be able to restore.  If there are issues after the restore, just do a factory reset and then configure manually.

I am having the same issue now.  Just bought my router on June 24th, didn't even really start using it until the 21st of July (moved in to new apartment), and it is now August 13th and it failed last night.  Only 3 weeks of wireless and newegg can't RMA it because it's been over 30 days.

What is D-Link's policy on RMA?

[Lycan]

Is yours a A4?

[wetzel]

If by A4 you mean it has a ...A4 at the end of the P/N then yes mine is an A4.

[wetzel]

According to the Dlink support site I have a one year warranty and must call them during hours of operation so a technician can give me a case number.  Then I have to ship it to Dlink, wait X amount of time without my router, and hopefully get it back and not have it fail again.

This... sucks...

I'll have to buy another router to use in the meantime.

[Lycan]

You can do a cross shipment.
