D-Link Dir-615 internet problems

Hi All, I am not posting this for help. I came across a problem and could not find any help on the net that would solve it. So this is to help anyone whom might have similar problems.
First, let me give you the scenario. I have SBC DSL as my ISP and the 2Wire modem/router took a dump. I looked for a modem/router combo that was 802.11 (N) compliant. There are a few but the prices were a little above what I wanted to pay. So I ended up buying a DSL modem and a D-Link DIR-615. I set the modem to "Bridge Mode" and followed the set up instructions from D-Link. After the setup some web pages were stalling and timing out. I noticed this on HTTPS pages mostly but also pages on the Apple site too. I then went to Safari and used the "Activity Window" to show me why.
Well the cure for this, which I have not been able to find anywhere on the net, was to "Disable" QoS on the DIR-615. After that...greased lightning speeds.
Hope this helps anyone that might be suffering with the same problems.
Cheers,
Glynn

This is because your Mac is connecting to your router but is failing to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
Is your Mac still set up to obtain an address automatically via DHCP?
If so, try the following sequence:
1) Disconnect from your D-Link
2) Power off the cable modem and router.
3) Power on the cable modem and wait until its status lights indiciate it is connected to its network.
4) Power on the D-Link and wait until its status lights state it is connected.
5) Try to reconnect to the D-Link on your Mac.

Airport Extreme Card wont connect to D-Link DIR-615 (wireless N router)

Hi, I got an old Mac G5 that has the airport extreme card in it and can't connect to the internet through with my D-Link DIR-615. I tried a couple options on a MAC but didn't work. I have a Laptop running Windows Vista and had no problem connecting. I'm using WPA for security and my password has 31 characters. Do you guys think That I have to change the length of my password to 26 or even less? Is there any guide that you guys may know that cuold help me on this issue?
Thanks a lot.

Password
40-bit hex

This would be telling me that your G5's AirPort is NOT "seeing" the D-Link's wireless network as encrypted with WPA, but with WEP instead. This typically can be caused by either the D-Link's current configuration is incompatible with the AirPort card or that there is something amiss with the AirPort card itself.
BTW, My D-Link has WEP, WAP-Personal and WAP-Enterprise
Ok, we will want to stick with either WEP or WPA-Personal.
We now have two choices: 1) Continue to troubleshoot additional configuration changes to the D-Link to try to get WPA to work with your G5, or 2) Switch to the lower strength encryption: WEP.
Which would you prefer to try?

D-Link DIR-615/Macbook detecting but not connecting

This is my first post on the forum.
So I went on a vacation back in January for about a week, but during that week I unplugged my D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N router and modem (Toshiba, Time Warner), just so I wouldn't have people attempting to connect to it for any reason by any means. Fair enuf, right?
I get home, connect the mac, modem, router. Airport will detect the network, but will not "transmit" the internet, won't pull up any webpages.
Any ideas? I've checked the through some of the other posts, but it's kind of hit and miss.

D-Link DIR-615 (Rev H1(!)) does not work with Airport Express?

Hi there,
I had my AirPlay working just fine with my Airport Express (AX) and my wireless N Router D-Link DIR-615 (Rev. B2). Now I changed my Internet provider and received a D-Link DIR-615 (Rev. H1) and I cannot find my AX anymore (I mean, it's still here, but the AirPort Utility cant find it!)
Are there known issues between those two?
(The Rev. H1/B2 is the Hardware Version of my D-Link DIR-615. The Firmware is up-to-date (8.01 I think))
The status light is a solid, beautiful green.
I already tried the following:
- restart the AX, the D-Link and my MacBook (10.7.2)
- changed from AES to TKIP (found that somewhere in the internet)
- Reseted my AX to factory settings and configured everything new. (via Ethernet)
Probably interesting:
- After resetting to factory settings and configuring everything new, the AX showed up in iTunes, but when I tried to connect with it, it kept me waiting for 1-3 Minutes and simply did not connect w/o error message. The AX disappeared after restarting iTunes.
I'm running out of solutions..
Anyone a good question/suggestion or answer for me?

Only way I see out other than waiting, is to hook he Drive to a Mac, (FW preferable for speed), then get Tri-Backup...

Setting up D-Link DIR-615 wireless N router with a macbook pro

Hello all.
I am trying to setup a D-Link DIR-615 wireless N router with my macbook pro. I got the router, opened it, put in the startup CD, and nothing works.
I went to the D-Link site and it says that the CD is not compatible with mac's, but to look on pages 10-15 in the user manual ( on the CD), which I did and found nothing related to setting up the router on my mac.
So I'm at the very beginning (putting in the initial CD) of setting this up, and wondering how to do it. Can anyone guide me through it or point me to a thread or online description of how it's done. I have very little computer background but I can pick it up decently when I have to, so please help as I will be very grateful. Thanks,
Jonathan

Unfortunately as with most routers it will be a manual affair that is quite involved. The first thing is to connect to the router over ethernet, so you should connect the cable supplied between the computer and the router and turn the router on. Go to System Preferences and open the Network panel, make sure the DCHP setting is automatic, you should have a connection if it is already on auto, there will be numbers in all the boxes when connected. In the documentation for the router you should find an IP address for the web interface along the lines of 192.168.0.1 (this seems to be the correct one for D-Link), open Safari (or another browser if you want)put this number in the address bar and press return. There will probably be a request for password at this stage, this will be in the documentation or on the bottom of the router, fill it in and you will get to the web interface. You should then be able to follow the instructions in the router documentation to set it up. It should be fairly easy through the basic setup procedure as long as you know your internet settings.

D-Link DIR-615 cannot access wirelessly with iPhone 3G

I've added another router to my home to get better range in the far corners of the house. I added a D-Link DIR-615 hard wired to my first router. I can access this new router both by cable and wirelessly with my laptop, but not wirelessly with my iPhone.
I've tried making the password all letters, (saw a post that said numbers don't work??) and even taking out the password and leaving it blank. The iPhone sees the router and identifies it by name. When I try connecting, after entering the password, it says "unable to connect to network". IO can connect to my first router with the iPhone.
Any suggestions? I'm using WEP for encription, except when I tried it with no passwords! Thanks!

A few ideas:
Often the power on sequence is the determining factor in if/how DHCP will work. Especially when it comes to consumer-grade cable modems and routers. Try different power on sequences.
Try to figure out if your cable modem is storing and enforcing the MAC address of one of your devices. Take the router out of the picture, attach your MBP, and see if it works. Then leave the modem on, unhook the MBP, and plug in a Windows laptop. If it doesn't work, then your modem wants/needs to only see one MAC address. If this is the case, look in your routers settings for "Spoof this computer's MAC Address" and you should be good to go.
One trick I've used in the past is to assign an entirely new subnet for the router to hand out. For example if it used to give out 192.168.1.x, the new subnet would be set to 10.1.1.x. This forces every system and rebuild its caches. Too many times routers, controllers, OSes, apps, and even hardware like phones keep caches to help speed things up. It's not always obvious how to reset these. But by switching subnets you force every device to rebuild the caches.
Good luck.

Flash D-Link DIR-615-D4 with DD-WRT firmware.

Hello I ve got a D-Link DIR-615-D4 off EBay (it was used with virgin media Virgin Firmware: 1.00VG) with the intention of
replacing my HH2.
Pippincp has kindly offered to guide me through the process.
He rightly pointed out that a new thread could prove useful to other users too and here it is.
Thanks Pippin.

On the bottom of the router is a label which will give you the version number of the router.
Something like this.
H/W Ver : D4 F/W Ver:1.00VG.
From that you now know you have a D4 router which is all the info you need.
Now you need either the D-Link stock firmware for it or the custom DD-WRT firmware.
This guide is for the DD-WRT firmware but stock should be similar.
I'm not putting everything in one long post as I want to guide Brinnie as much as possible rather then just post and leave him to it so it will be in stages.
Go here and enter 615 in the search bar. Click on the version you have and download the factory webflash .bin file.
Once you have it Brinnie post back. If you have any probs post back.

IPhone connectivity issues with D-Link DIR-615 router

Hello everyone,
I was using video streaming with DIR-615 (firmware 3.11.NA) without any trouble earlier.
After upgrading iPhone to iOS v7.0.4 (firmware 04.12.09), I am having trouble with my wifi on iPhone.
After playing the video for a minute or two, the video stops and it shows it is still loading.
The Wifi shows full reception signal however no internet is coming.
If I reconnect the iphone with wifi by turning it off & on, the internet works back.
And the problem repeats if I play the video again.
If I don't play the video the internet works on wifi in my iphone perfectly without dropping.

OK, this printer requires 802.11g mode, so make sure that is enabled in your new router. 802.11n and other modes can also be live, but g must be present.
Also, make sure your SSID is being broadcast and you are not using MAC filtering.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

D-Link DIR-615 and iChat problem

I had a netgear previously, but it broke after a year so I bought this D-Link. I never had any problems with iChat, but now I get disconnected from iChat every few minutes. Any thoughts?

OK,
Pings.
To Ping someone or an IP is to use the computer or router to send a Sort of "knock knock" request to the IP or server/computer name.
On most devices you can Ping other devices on your LAN as there is no block to this.
A lot of devices though, have this disabled for the WAN (Wide Are Network + Internet) side of things.
This keeps the Public IP your ISP gives your Modem somewhat secret.
Like most things on the internet it an be abused.
The Network Utility in Applications/Utilities has the ability to send Pings.
The normal function is to send 10 pings and see if any get lost and to see how long they take to get a response.
You will see that there is an option to send Unlimited Pings. It is this that gets abused. There are ways of sending many pings very quickly as an Attack.
This can result in your Internet connection failing as the device or computer get tied up dealing with the Pings.
On the other hand certain apps like iChat use a Ping to confirm that it is the correct place/computer is is talking to.
For iChat it works like this.
One end send the Visible Invite (The Pop up to Invite to an A/V Chat).
This is sent by iChat on Port 5678
iChat then moves to port 16402 to do the Connection Process using the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol).
Part of this process is to send a Ping to confirm where the Visible Invite went to is the place/computer that is responding to the SIP Request. As you can be logged in twice to a Screen Name it confirms that the you are responding - It also stops someone eavesdropping and pretending to be you.
iChat will not work in A/C Chat unless this function is Allowed.
*Denial of Service (DoS)*
This is somewhat of a hang over from the days when groups of "Hackers" used to organise a time to bring down a web server.
Lots of people would all go to the same web site (requesting a page)
Then they would hit the refresh button over and over (Many Request for the page).
eventually so many requests are made that the web server cannot cope and the whole server would "go down" and lose it's Internet Connection.
Strictly speaking it does not have to be application related like a web server/page but has to involve the computer doing something to reply.
With DoS (if your device has it) it has a preset threshold where it will regard the data coming to your computer as being "Too Much, Too Quickly", and cut the one port the data is coming in on.
With iChat Video there is a vast amount of data that can come very fast with modern Internet Speeds and you bump into the Threshold even before you see your Buddies Video pic.
There is no way to adjust the Threshold so it needs to be Disabled for iChat to work.
*Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)*
Works in a similar manner to DoS in that it tries to Inspect the incoming stream and judge if it should be allowed. With modern speeds there come a point when it cannot cope and it again shuts the port it is happening on to "Protect" the whole Internet Connection.
Again for iChat it needs to be Disabled if you have it.
Limiting iChat to use only 500kbps of your Bandwidth (a portion of your Internet speed in most cases) may get around the Threshold of DoS and help SPI cope.
There are some risks to Disabling these settings but mostly this depends on how big a target you appear to be on the Internet.
There is a smaller risk of suffering drive by attacks. However I have never suffered one in 5 years of using iChat.
I have not suggested changing any of the other settings in your device.

WRE54G v3 I can't get it to work with D-Link DIR-615.

I just got the WRE54G today and spent all day without any luck trying to get this to work. I keep getting "Site survey fail, please try again". Which is what I've been doing most of the day, besides the reset button , as well as sticking a pin into it to get the Link LED RED.
I'm a novice and was hoping it would be plug and play.

Do a manual configuration...Please follow this link

MacBook + DIR-615

Hi everyone! Sorry for my English but I'll try to explain.
I have D-Link DIR-615. And I configured router to work in mixed mode: 802.11n and 802.11g.
So, my iPhone and iPad are connected to network in mode 802.11n. But my MacBook MC516 (mid 2010) connect only in 802.11g mode and has 54M rate.
When I change 802.11 mode to 802.11n only, MacBook isn't connecting to network.
This is configuration of my wireless network:
Please, If you have any ideas, tell me.
Thanks a lot.

Problems re-connecting my PSP to Network, after updating to firmware 1.33NA on my D-Link DIR-655

Hi everyone,

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.

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.
Also read the WIFI security section of my post here
