Hmm... Did Dlink make the chipset...uh...NO..I would dare to say Shareport software was sub-contracted to another firm.
Lets face it Dlink and Linksys, Netgear are all name brands and if you notice offer alot of the same features. Why is that? Could it be because the have the same internal chipset? (Ubicom)
My Dir 655 A1/A2 was never advertised with shareport although the hardware was there and then you have Linksys coming out with a USB port advertised for HDD and printers..etc.. SO Dlink keeping up with Marketing does it also.

Are you sure?  I maybe just missing it completely, but I haven't seen another router based on the ubicom chipset running any type of shareport clone.  I honestly wouldn't be suprised if dlink did in fact write shareport using the ubicom SDK.

Granted the trendnet 655 clone doesn't even have USB, so I am not sure there is anyway to tell.

It doesn't matter who made the chip-set or who wrote the software, it has D-Links name and Logo on it. D-Link is ultimately responsible for any hardware or software it markets to the public. I don't care how many excuses you want to dream up for them, they are the ones that screwed it up and they are responsible for fixing it!

Dream up excuses? Just like this conversation Shareport is a waste as I bought a Router not a NAS device. Kick it to the curb!

Your right Linksys dose not have a ubicom chipset ..opps. :) http://www.ubicom.com/newsevents/pressarchive/press.php  <--interesting reads

The point I was trying to make was it's all about marketing.

If there is someone in D-link, please reply.
I want to know the status of this issue.
Still D-link can't reproduce this problem which many people have ?

maybe they shouldn't outsource features. like the new router that has a picture frame, they outsources that software. so how much do you want to bet that won't work right.

bottom line is that this experience with d-link is affecting my consumer choices. I am looking to buy a NAS, and I want the d-link one, but this experience is making me not want to buy d-link. I need to buy network gigabit cards for all my computers - well guess what, after this experience, my dollars are going elsewhere.

If this is how much Dlink values their customers, then they don't deserve my money.

Welcome to Consumer IT. 99% of all firmware and software development is outsourced. And 90% of all products are mass produced by 3 or 4 major manufacturers for all interested companies and just labelled (or boxed) with a brand and a slightly customized firmware.

I agree with the frustration expressed here. You buy something that is supposed to work a certain way and your expectation should not be any less than it working the way it was advertised. I am really surprised at D-Link's inability/ unwillingness to fis an issue on such a popular router. They obviously do not bother reding these forums. Haven't looked, but is there a way to contact them directly?

The one thing those three share is that they know IT and understand that the world was not created in one day with the twist of a finger.

I hit up the DLink twitter account and they said they are "working on it". Enough people are having the same problem in similar environments, that I find it hard to believe they can't recreate the issue. Shareport is a great idea but a huge failure.

Maybe if they would develop their own features instead of out-sourcing them, they might work better or be easy to troubleshoot.

That's simply not how consumer IT works.
And believe it or not, all features on my DIR work flawlessly. Even Shareport and in various network and client configurations.
