Airport Express vs. D-Link Dir-655 = no xbox connection

I cant seem to get my airport express to connect to m exisisting network. it just wont work. it keeps asking me to find apple devices at the end of the setup. Meaning it was me to find a airport extreme or time capsule. which i do not own .
I own a D-link dir-655 wireless n router and i cant get them connected together. my router/modem is downstairs in the living room, and my flatscreen is in my room and the xbox.
I want use my airport in my room for the xbox and and play live can anyone help?
HALO REACH!!!PLSS!

I am using a D-Link DIR-655 as well and trying to hook up the Airport Express to extend the range as well. I have tried just about everything, and well nothing seems to be working. I updated the router to its latest Firmware, and I don't think that the router has the capability to use WDS settings. I have even tried to find some DD-WRT for it and no one has made anything for it, it seems to be something with what D-Link does to the router or its hardware specs.
Anyways, I've tried to get my Airport Express to join my network even tho it is not a 802.11n its the older version, but on my router settings I am set to use 802.11n/g or even b.
For the Xbox problem set it up with an Ethernet cable because;
1. You don't want lag
2. Its a helluva lot easier.
If you must connect it wirelessly, make sure your adapter is plugged in fully and that you actually have one. The Xbox's do not come with wireless adapters unless you have purchased a new Xbox 360 Slim ( I believe there calling it ).

  • Airport Express with D Link DIR-300 in client mode failure.

    I just want my Airport Express to join my current network from a D-Link DIR-300 wireless router in order to use airplay. I use the Airport Utility and appear to successfully set up the device. When it is waiting for the airport to restart, it times out and is unable to locate the AE unless I reset the device and start over. The AE flashes turns green, then begins to flash yellow.
    What can I do to make this work. I just want to send music the AE, and be on my existing wifi.

    Chances are, the Wireless Security settings on your D-Link router and the settings that you are choosing on the AirPort Express do not match up correctly. The result is that the AirPort Express cannot successfully "join" the D-Link wireless network.
    To verify if this may be the issue, temporarily turn off the wireless security on the D-Link router and check to see if the AirPort Express can connect that way. If it can, then you know that you have a security setting issue between your router and the AirPort Express.
    What are the available security settings on the D-Link router that you are using? We'll try to provide you with a corresponding match for the AirPort Express if you can post back that info.

  • ATV & D-Link DIR-655 (Not connecting in N Mode)

    Hopefully someone can explain this to me.
    The D-Link DIR-655 does not connect to the ATV in N-mode, only in G.
    I don't see anything in the ATV to force a N-mode connection.
    Are these 2 unit compatible in N-Mode or do I have to have the new Airport Extreme unit to accomplish this.
    Or is there a particular setting that the D-Link unit needs to have to accomplish this connection.
    Looking forward to your replies.

    do you have any other wireless devices that connect in "n" mode?
    have you checked your router to make sure that "n" mode is enabled ?
    i know in mine you can restrict it to "g" or "b and g" so maybe yours has something similar and "n" isn't activated.

  • Is there any way I can connect three AirPort Expresses to a D-Link DIR 655?

    I have a 2009 D-Link DIR 655 running 1.33NA and I need to connect my three AirPort Express systems in order to run my XBox to XBox LIVE, and I am having some serious difficulty doing so.  I've checked all over the Internet, googled the issue about ten different ways, and not a whole lot has come up.  HELP!!!!!

    Apple has done their best to install proprietary software in their wireless routers that is designed to only allow other Apple routers to repeat or extend the network wirelessly.
    So, the chances are extremely small that a D-Link....or another other router for that matter.....could be configured to do what you ask.
    There are no settings on an AirPort Extreme that would allow a D-Link device to extend the network, so all that you can do is experiment with different settings on the D-Link device to see if it might be possible for it to extend the network.
    A post on a D-Link support forum might be a good idea to see if any D-Link specialists have some ideas on this topic.
    Good luck.

  • PC cannot see wireless Airport Express using Ethernet on D-LINK DIR-655 Router

    This seems to be a recurring issue going way back, but I have yet to see a real solution posted.
    I am using my Airport Express (APX) to stream music from the computers on my network to my stereo via Airplay.  I have APX set up to wirelessly join my existing wireless network, which uses a D-Link DIR-655 router hooked to a Time Warner cable modem.  I can succesfully connect all of my wireless devices via Airplay, through iTunes to my APX, including two laptops and an iPhone.  However, my primary desktop PC, which does not have a wireless card is linked directly via ethernet cable to my D-Link router, and it is not able to see my APX.  I can, however, see the Airport Express from my PC through my Airport Utility by directly typing in the IP address.  Note that the  APX set-up option to allow Ethernet clients is checked.  I also noticed that my laptops will stop detecting the APX if I directly connect them to my D-Link router via Ethernet and turn off their wireless cards.  They will resume detecting APX when I turn their wireless connections back on.  So, bottom line, I am convinced that this is not a firewall problem.  Although I have tried every conceivable setting of my D-Link router and APX, I am convinced it is either a wireless to ethernet communication issue, or some obscure setting on APX.. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Wayne

    I think I found the fix based on reading some Apple TV forums where several people were having the same problem.  Under Advanced Network settings in the D-Link setup, I just checked "Enable Multicast Streams" and that seemed to do the trick.

  • Linking D-Link DIR 655 and AirPort Extreme

    Help! I need to link my D-Link DIR-655 and new Airport Extreme, but have no idea how to do it. I use the D-Link as my base router and want to use the Airport Extreme as a repeater/range extender upstairs in the house (the D-Link is in my office in the basement)where I use my Macbook Pro. The D-Link signal isn’t strong enough to reach areas of the upstairs. How can I make these two pieces of hardware work together? Is it possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m not a tech whiz.

    I use the D-Link as my base router and want to use the Airport Extreme as a repeater/range extender upstairs in the house
    The "extend a network" feature of the Extreme is intended to extend a wireless network created by another 802.11n Apple Airport product (Extreme, Express or Time Capsule).
    Wireless repeaters or "extenders" use proprietary techniques that don't work well among different manufacturers. To extend your network wirelessly in the manner you seek would require that you replace your D-Link with another Airport, or replace the Express with a D-Link product.
    The ideal solution in your case would be to run an Ethernet cable between the devices. That will work.

  • MacBook Pro and D Link DIR-655

    I just upgraded from a MacBook to a MacBook Pro, and I'm having trouble connecting to my D Link DIR-655 via the airport. When I try to connect through the menu bar, the airport tries to connect and then times out. I can only get online if I connect through network diagnostics. Anyone know what the deal is? I haven't had this problem with any other wireless networks.

    Thanks for the feedback LilyLC. I too have gone through all of your steps and a host of others. Still with no luck. No problems at all with my Airport Express, but still no way to keep up a connection with my DIR-655 via WIFI N. I tried all of the steps with each firmware version too. I've given up at this point. I want the 2 months of my life back that I spent troubleshooting this mess. At least Apple could acknowledge this and say we are on it, and that it isn't only "in our heads."
    /begin rant/
    I think that Apple needs to do some re-evaluating of their software release schedule/quality control. At this point I would rather wait and have them get it right then put out subpar updates and fall into the downward spiral pattern of "the rest of them". My confidence has been shaken and I've been a mac fan since the beginning. I just want Apple to split off the iPod/Phone/TV etc. into its own division and to get back on track with the Mac line starting now. We need this stuff to work to make a living and this takes a higher priority in my mind than new twiddle apps on the iPhone.
    I do own two iPods and an iPhone but would chuck them in a river to get Leopard working solidly with the majors like Adobe, Extensis, Epson, as well as stable networking, syncing and backups. Apple really has their hands full at this point with a large list of bugs. I really wish them well but can't say I'm in the least bit happy as a consumer at this point. For the first time in a long time I feel sheepish when answering whether or not I'd recommend a Mac, and that hurts me deeply for some reason.

  • Problem to connect to D-Link DIR-655

    I have MacBook Pro with Lion 7.1 and a router D-link DIR 655 (with latest firmware). I have had problem with the WiFi connection now and then. Just now I can not see my router in list but I can see many neigbours. It happends that I can see the router but then I connect I got timeout, I have iMac also with Lion which is connected to the same router with no problem. I have alse a IPad connected with no problem. I can connect to my wireless mobilmodem with help of a Dovado 3GN Router (WiFi connection). So what I can see I can connect things to the D-Link router but not the MacBookPro and I can connect the MacBook Pro to WiFi but not to D-Link DIR 655. What shall I do?

    Download the free KisMAC and in the driver preferences enable the Apple Airport PASSIVE mode in preferences and click scan.
    You will need to enter your Admin password.
    Use that to scan your neighbors wifi and determine the channels they use.
    Reset your router channel so it's as far from the others as possible.

    Post the link to your Router Model,  http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530 
    And any other information you think is important if answering your own post, and the nature of the problem, itself.
    I have had a full functioning network with D-Link DIR655  hardware Rev A3 firmware rev 1.33NA,
    with 5 PC's Dell XPS 730x, Alienware m17x,  Studio 1747,Studio 1749(touchscreen) Studio, 14z all using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit, and one Macbook Pro 17", Plus a Dell mini 9 hackintosh( I did purchase  Retail10.5.4  and I placed the Apple stickers over the Dell logo.[ also have a PS#, and PSP 3000 (both have latest Sony firmware updates.]
    All PC's with Win7 Pro x64,'s are connected using Network Magic Pro 5.5 pure-0, with the exception of the Macbook pro OS X 10.7 and hackintosh Mac X10.5.8  which both use the Mac version 4 network pro (Ver. for mac os x.) of which I bought a 3 pack, (To have them work with NWM 5.5 Pro, & share both files, and printers with the windows PC's)
    Everything was working great until I updated the firmware on my DIR-655 from 1.2NA to 1.33NA.
    Since then I have been unable to reconnect my PSP to the network. using  WPA 2 security, which is what I had before the firmware update. If it wasn't for the security additions, this firmware upgrade adds  to the router, I would have gone back to the previos version.
    Here is what I've done in attempts to fix, and then my final solution.
    In Network Magic 5.5, I have tried shutting off the network protection feature, and I also re-added the MAC Address, of the PSP to the Router's list of allowable hardware, when I added my list of all the others..
    The PSP will start the handshake with the router, and then pause at the getting IP address screen, and finally timeout.
    I is showing up on the Network Magic 5.5 Pro's Network Map area, which leads me to believe it is being seen and let in by the software's security feature.
    I also tried to manually add an IP address, for the PSP, using the IP addy, it always seems to grab via DHCP [192.168.7.172] only to have it timeout the same way as it did before, with DHCP
    As I needed Internet access to update the PSP and make purchases from the PSN, I decided to connect my older Linksys WRT54G (HW Ver 5) Ver.1.02.8 (I'm considering the DD-WRT firmware for all it's improvements) to the DIR-655 with a CAT 6 cable. Network magic see's this router, as I added it's MAC address to the D-Link MAC filter first.
    I was able to use WPA Security with this router and the PSP connected without any problem.
    I thought maybe something was wrong with the PSP-3000, but I'm able to connect to a friends Belkin router
    , using WPA 2
    I setup the WRT54G using the studio 14z, as it's the lightest of my portables, with windows on it.
    Should I add Network Magic 5.5 to the network that is my Router & PSP?
    [I have a older thinkpad, that runs Windows XP SP3, which has just been sitting around, and my NWM 5.5 
    license is for 8 PC's and 3 Macintosh Computers.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards in getting my network correctly secured once again,
    DakotaJoe

    I hate being the bearer of bad news, but from what I have read on the Forum and FAQ, you will need to un-install Network Magic from all of your computers making sure that no NM settings folders are left behind under users.  Then unplug all wired computers and rebuild your network by re-installing NM  in each computer before connecting it to your router.  After you have added all of your wired computers, set up your wireless network and install NM and add each wireless computer.
    That is a lot of work.  I hope this helps.

  • Computer tend to freeze when accessing internet with D-Link dir-655 router

    I recently bought a D-Link dir-655 router and since then my computer tend to freeze up completely when accessing internet. This also happens when certain programs access internet. Otherwise I am usually using Internet Explorer or Opera.
    I've found that there are many who experience problems with D-Link router, that they may have problems with certain network card. Anyone who can say if this is a known issues and if it there is a solution or if it is better to buy another router?

    Hi, Ernst:
    Would you consider backing up your files and doing a system recovery?
    Maybe the OS has some corrupt registry files or something.
    If you recover and then it still does that, your only choice looking at the motherboard is a PCIe gigabit ethernet adapter which would be relatively easy to install, or you could even get a USB ethernet adapter and not even have to open the case.
    See if there is a setting to disable the onboard NIC if you have to add a network card.
    I would rule out all software problems before buying hardware.
    If you want to try some other malware program, I recommend the free Kapersky rescue disk. You burn the file to a CD and boot from it.  It scans the drive and deletes any malware or virus files it finds without the PC being in windows. A lot of times viruses and malware can't be removed when windows is running.
    Link to the download and instuctions for use is below. I like to use the graphic interface rather than the text interface.

  • Connecting a SPA2102 with a D-Link DIR-655

    Hi, I'm currently having trouble with getting the internet and voip to work simultaneously. Internet and voip adaptor (SPA2102) work without a router connected, but when I add the router (DIR-655), internet no longer works. The voip telephone still works. I'm just having trouble getting both voip and internet to work.
    I have the SPA2102 in front of the a D-Link DIR-655 by the way. Right now, I have the voip adaptor disconnected so I can access internet once again.
    I'm still very new to this so any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for the quick reply.
    I finally got it to work. I had to change the router's IP and also PPPoe to DHCP.
    Thanks again for your help. I truly appreciate it.

  • Currently, E4200 defintely inferior to D-Link DIR-655 when it comes to streaming applications

    About 8 weeks ago I upgraded from a D-Link DIR-655 single band n router to the E4200, primarily to get into the 5GHz band for streaming Netflix to two different TVs in our house.
    The E4200's wireless connections to my laptop's Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN  card are very fast and rock solid.  All of the E4200's wired connections are rock solid.  The router generall performs well as intended.
    BUT neither my Samsung BD-C6900 Blu Ray Player nor our WDTV live plus HD box establish a useful connection to the E4200 - with two very different symptoms:
    1) For the WDTV I am using a D-Link DAP-1522 wireless AP to have network connectivity.  The DAP-1522 is less than 10 feet away from the E4200 and the wireless connection to the E4200 get's easily established.  Using an Ethernet cable at the AP and checking speeds, they are very decent, with over 25Mbit/s download.  Problem is:  When attempting to stream anything from the WDTV through the E4200 using the wireless AP, the WDTV always produces an "invalid DNS" error before any streaming even starts - even though it receives its IP address, subnet, DNS etc. w/o a glitch.  When I replace the E4200 with the old DIR-655 (and leave the DAP-1522 AP in place as is) I have no such issues.   BTW - this is independent of accessing the E4200 through the DAP-1522 on either the 2.4 or the 5 GHz spectrum.  And yes, I tried ALL settings, on all three machines (router, AP,  WDTV) including fixed IP, different DNS servers, etc.
    2) The Samsung BD-C6900 also can connect to the E4200 w/o a problem. The Blu-Ray player even shows an "excellent" five bar strength wireless network (2.4GHz band only) .  But the connection is relatively unstable.  And using the Samsung Blu Ray player's internal speed test, download speeds are only around 200kbps - too slow and unstable slow even for Pandora streaming.   Again, just replacing the E4200 with the old DIR-655 fixes the problem - even though the BluRay player then only shows a "good" signal strength, but downloads are around 20Mbit/s.  To me this hints at some inter-compatibility issues between the E4200 and the wireless card built into the BD-C6900.
    I've worked this problem for countless hours now.   Only solution that worked: We are now running both wireless routers,  using the DIR-655 dedicated to streaming to those two devices.
    All this leads me to believe that the current version/firmware of the E4200 (newest firmware) is suffering from some inter-operability and streaming issues - at least on the wireless side of the router.  Anyone else with similar devices and problems?  If anyone from Cisco reads this – maybe go, recreate the setup and try for yourself. As for Cisco’s reputation – come the next generation of routers in 2 years, I will go back to D-Link. 

    Thank you for your suggestion.  I wish it was that easy. 
    We have both Comcast Cable and Clear WiMax 4G - I've been trying it with either IPS connection and several DNS servers. 
    DNS servers used:
    The DNS servers I tried include
    68.87.68.166, 68.87.74.166 (when hooked up to Comcast cable)
    75.94.255.12 , 64.13.115.12 (when hooked up to the Clear modem)
    and 75.75.75.75, 8.8.8.8, 4.2.2.6, 209.244.0.3 - all of which have very good response times from our location.
    All else on the network works fine.  And both of these machines, the BD player as well as the WDTV show correct DNS info.  Again - taking out the E4200 and replacing it with the old DIR-655 also makes the two machines causing trouble with the E4200 behave alright.  Hence it's not a DNS server address issue per se. 
    Connected to the E4200 using Ethernet cables both, the WDTV and the BD player, work fine. 
    Which really leads me to believe the problem is how the E4200 handles streaming aspects over wireless.

  • WRE54G not working with D-Link DIR-655

    After having 2 Linksys WRT310N units fail within 14 months, I was given a D-Link DIR-655 to use for my home network.  When I originally purchased the WRE-54G for use with the 310N, the signal strength as indicated on a Tivo and PS3 went from 20%-40% range to 70%-85%.   These two components are approximately 30 ft horizontally, and 20 ft down vertically from the router.
    Upon replacing the router with the DIR-655, both of these units are again registering signal of 20%-40%, as if the WRE-54G is not functioning, and/or the TiVo and PS3 are getting their wireless signal directly from the DIR-655.
    I can access the WRE-54G's web interface, can ping it, can see it as active in the DIR-655's interface, and have two solid blue lights.  Everything has been powered down and reset multiple times.  I have the same issue whether or not the WRE-54G sits inside or outside my DHCP range.
    How can I determine if these components are getting signal from the router through the WRE-54G or if they are getting the signal directly from the router and bypassing the WRE-54G, and is there a way to "force" these components to take signal from the WRE-54G?

    Hello. Is the D-link an N router? The WRE doesn't really work well with N routers. The ppl that have say that security must be disabled. I think I have read posts that got this working, though. I'm wondering if the WRE is physically on the edge of your signal strength, e.g. if you got the WRE closer to the router it would work better. The only thing that is unusual is that you said you have two solid blue lights. The activity light should be blinking blue. So I guess I don't think the WRE is really doing anything right now, though you have all the indications except for increased signal strength.
    As far as forcing the equipment to connect, you'd just have to set up static IP's and say that the WRE IP addy was the gateway, not your router. But I don't think that is the problem as WIFI will connect to the stronger signal if it is present. I just don't think the WRE is repeating the router signal.  
    Edit: Did a search. See if this post helps:

  • Wireless connection to D-Link DIR-655 router

    I just got a MBP and I can't connect wirelessly to my D-link router (WPA password protected; wired connection works great). Aiport sees the router, asks for the password which I enter, and then I get the message "the selected network uses and Access Control List.. and this computer is not on the list." I've tried to add the MBP to my network using the Network Magic process for adding new devices (which worked just fine to wirelessly connect my PC laptop from work), but it can't seem to find the MBP. I tried the steps suggested by iVmichael to someone having a similar problem April 5-6, and also tried disabling my network lock, but so far haven't found the magic combination. Suggestions?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   D-Link DIR-655 router
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I had a similar problem and I needed a second computer (B) using a wired connection to the router to allow the other one (A) in. This is what I did:
    1. Using the wired computer (B) I opened up the network so any computer could join the network wirelessly.
    2. I joined the network with (A) wirelessly.
    3. Once I had successfully joined the network with (A) I used the wired computer (B) to do a search for new computers so (A) could be registered in the Access Control List.
    4. Using (B) I closed the network again.
    5. Now I could join the network with (A) wirelessly without any trouble.
