Hi Furry,

Can you please have a look at my entry a few posts back and comment on it?
I describe two glitches I found in 1.05b01.

I most certainly will have a problem with the half speed NW. When I switch the guest NW on, the speed of the regular NW and the guest NW are half of the normal speed. I have a 120/12 Mbit network and this problem decreases troughput to half of it.
I can live with the other one, but would still like to see my Print server.

Regards, Hugo

I'll have a look with the Guest Zone issue on mine to see if I see that same issue.

For the print server. I recommend using a static IP address for the server thats outside of the Default DCHP IP address pool. 192.168.0.51 would be good to start with.
Be sure to have the clients connect to this IP address and maybe a refresh of the printer drivers would be good and ensure that the printer drivers are pointed to the static IP address.

Ok so I put my 880L online today and did a factory reset.
I walked thru the setup wizard and got to the end however the Next and Back buttons were grayed out so I could not complete the wizard. I had to refresh the browser. After the re-fresh, I logged in and directly went to set up the ISP speeds for QoS. I selected Save and the expected 80sec reboot window failed to be displayed. This was using Mac OSX 10.10.5 and Safari and Chrome. The 80sec windows needs to be displayed then you'll know the changes took effect. Not working on OSX I guess.

I switched over to my WIndows 10 PC and used IE 11 and made the ISP speed change in QoS, this time I saw the 80sec reboot window after selecting Save. After the reboot I checked the settings and they were what I configured.
I ran a speed test: 50/3 ISP


Seem that there is an issue in configuration on Mac OSX.

I'll check out reservations next and post my results in that thread.

I ran the wizard as suggested.  I also upgraded to the new 1.05WWB02 that just came out in the USA support site this week.  This new firmware version says it specifically addresses this problem.   But it's still not working for me.

One other issue i'm seeing, TIME is 1 hour behind for my time zone MTN -7 and NTP and DST enabled.

[hvgsel]

Same here, by the way. I saw it earlier, but did not report it.
Timezone is GMT +1 (Amsterdam, Brussels etc.)

[FurryNutz]

Thanks for confirming. I'll get this to D-Link for review.

Let us know about the suggestions for your print server.

I always use a static address for my print server. I reduced the DHCP range to 192.168.0.150-199. My print server is always on 192.168.0.132, so outside the DHCP-range. Same with other reserved deivces; they are all in the 192.168.0.100-149 range.
New discoveries :
- When I reboot the printserver, the print server suddenly displays in the connected devices overview and stays there.
- When I reboot the router, the print server disappears again, untill I reboot the print server.

Did you already check/try the Guest NW? It's only on the 2.4 Ghz NW and particularly nasty with 150 Mbps adapters, like the Atheros AR9485WB-EG. Then i cannot use the full potential of my 120/12 internet connection.
With 300 Mbps adapters it's still nasty, but bearable.

I'll have a look with the Guest Zone issue on mine to see if I see that same issue.

So the print server has an IP address ON the printer server and not the router right?
Seems like this maybe a printer server issue possibly. is the print servers FW up to date? Seems like if the router is rebooted the printer server fails to handshake with the router to let it know that it has an IP address, static and that it's online. 

I haven't had a chance to test guest zone yet. I'll try this weekend.

No, the print server address is reserved in the router and the print server is set to automatic - 'use DHCP'. I always reserve devices in the router, never in the device itself.
There is no new firmware for the print server and the connected printer is an old USB Brother laser printer HL-1430, so only basic driver of Windows.
It always works, also when it is not displayed in the connected clients display. The printer driver contains the IP-adress by the way; hostname does not work.
In my other routers (1 TP-Link and 2 D-Link's) I always saw it, but sometimes only with the mac-address and not the IP-address. I think it's a glitch in the print server firmware: pity, but not disturbing operation of the printer.
I have another Brother real wireless printer connected and also reserved in the router. In the printer driver it connects by it's Hostname. It is always in the list.

For this test, please set a Static IP address ON the printer server and remove the reservation ON the router. Set the Static IP address outside of the default IP address pool. Try 192.168.0.51.

Let us know the results...

[hvgsel]

Maybe i will have to reset my router again then. I will try in the weekend and let you know. Have a nice weekend!

[FurryNutz]

If you set a static IP address ON the printer server you don't need to reset the router. 

Enjoy the weekend.

OK, what am i doing wrong?  I went there and couldn't find a link to 1.05?  I get the security advisor page and a list of firmware that should be on your router but no links to DL 1.05,  thanks.

[FurryNutz]

It's on the page:
http://securityadvisories.dlink.com/security/publication.aspx?name=SAP10060

Look at the right hand side column for links. Use the v1.05WW link there.
