D-link DIR-625 troubles

My macbook cannot connect to the DIR-625. Can anyone help me out?

Yep, I've turned off the DHCP server. Still no luck. When I do that, and check from the DIR-655 side, the DIR-625's IP isn't showing as being connected, and I can't browse the net from the DIR-625 side (the DIR-655 is connected to my cable modem).

D-Link DIR-625 & iPod Touch 1G

Hey I just got a first generation iPod Touch, and updated it to software 3.0. The WiFi is working because it connects to other networks, but for some reason it won't connect to my own home wireless network. I have a D-Link DIR-625 Rev A with the latest firmware, and the iPod does detect the network, but refuses to connect to the router. There is no security features enabled, except for MAC address filtering. All the computers in the house work fine with the router. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.

D-Link DIR-625 as a bridge

I have an old DIR-625 that I'd like to use as a bridge to my DIR-655. I can't figure out how to make this work. I've found the following posts, but they're "archived" and I can't post to them. I'd love anyone's help, especially if those in the following posts remember how they made this work.

Disabling the router and DHCP server on the DIR-625 (to turn it into
a bridge) should be a trivial exercise, so I wouldn't let that dissuade
you from using the DIR-625.

Thanks for the tip. Check out the manual today and talked to my IT
staff at work. Changed the Dlink into a bridge. Changed the AEBS
to "N" only at the 5mhz.
Works very well!

D-Link DIR-655 Troubles (N-Router)

Everytime I try to log onto my router (192.168.0.1) I get this : (See Photobucket Pic). It only happens on my G5 (running 10.4.10). You click on either button, nothing ever happens. Just the pinwheel of death forever. I can log on fine with other computers wirelessly. One possible clue: The G5 is connected directly to the router via ethernet.
I called D-Link Tech support. They had me do all this resetting stuff. It didn't fix the prob. They then authorized me to get a new one. I did. This new one does the same thing. So its not the router. This happens no matter what type of browser I use (Safari, Firefox, etc).
What is wrong with my G5? Please help!
Massive G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9) +4 other macs...

Ok, here is the info.
1) no packet loss when I ping my router (192.168.0.1)
2) Turned off IPV6 and saved. No change
3) launched Console. Watched it when using Safari to try and log onto my router. It does nothing. Just sits there.
4) Settings on router. IP address: 192.168.0.163 subnet: 255.255.255.0. Router: 192.168.0.1. DNS Servers: 66.75.164.89 and 90.
Hope this helps you help me.
Thanks again for your assistance!

Can't get PowerBook/airporte to connect to D-Linke DIR-625

We've set up a D-Link router in the apartment and everyone else (PC users) can connect fine but me. Mine is a Powerbook with Airport Card. It displays the router network. But when I choose it from the Airport pulldown menu and type in the password, I get a spinning beach ball, followed by a "cannot connect due to error" message. This particular D-Link model appears to use only WPA security (not WEP.) The D-Link setup has several WPA options (WPA, WPA2, WPA personal, etc.) but my Airport pulldown menu shows only one -- WPA. So I'm concerned that the issue may be in the security protocol. Anyone have suggestions with this. Have gone through all the Airport/Network settings to see if there are other options to try regarding security but don't see anyting.

Felix -- Yes. Well, it was bought summer 2004 with the airport card. So I don't if that's the "original" card you mean. also, I should have added: If it turn off all security, it connects to the DLink fine.
If it's the card, I assume I can run to my local apple store and buy a new one?
(Did I see some note, by the way, about SHORT network names -- SSID names? My son created the network name and it's kind of long. Perhaps I should shorten it. I notice that when I turn Airport ON, there is some delay before the Mac actually sees the network. )

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.

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)

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.

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.

How to configure home network with Airport Extreme + D-Link DIR-665

*hello everyone,*
*I had these two working fine together until the D-Link took a dump the other day. No explanation. Just stopped working until I reconfigured everything.*
*Which then led to my Airport Extreme being unable to connect to the network at all, much less the internet...*
*My home network is set up like this:*
*Optimum Cable*
*Motorola Surfboard modem --> D-Link DIR-655 (via ethernet)*
*- Provides wifi and ethernet connections on one side of my house*
*DIR-655 --> Airport Extreme (via ethernet run to other side of house)*
*- Provides wifi and ethernet connections on the other side of my house*
*My MBP won't connect to anything other than my AE running N, so I have that set up primarily for my MBP over wifi, while feeding an ethernet connection to a Netgear router running B/G, for my iPhone and other devices.*
**So here are the relative details:**
*I decided to start fresh and do a factory default configuration with my Airport Extreme. My working system from earlier was essentially it's own wifi network, but the airport utility 'insists' that I need to run my AE in bridge mode. I've tried that, but I can't get online. I can see my shared connections, so something's getting through, but I cannot connect to them, in addition to being unable to get online.*
*I'm not really sure how to best illustrate this problem, so I've ran through the process again and jotted down a few notes. Excuse the rambling nature of my narrative, this is a 'blow by blow' account of the Airport Utility setup process:*
Airport version 7.4.2
IP address 192.168.0.192
router address: 192.168.0.2
Configuring over Airport connection.
- I want AE to join my current network
-.. connect AE to my network using ethernet to extend or create second network
- select device AE will connect to using ethernet - DIR-655 network (displayed w/ airport icon?)
- create an additional network (through ethernet)
AE updates..
- problem 1 of 1 : unsecured wireless network
wpa wpa2
Bridge mode or share a single IP address using DHCP
selected bridge mode
results: AE has green light, airport utility is satisfied but no connection to network is possible. Shared connections are visible, but unable to access
next try:
manual setup
Wireless mode: create wireless network
radio mode: 802.11n only (5 GHz)
channel: auto
wireless security: WPA2 personal
(bridge mode still active)
(this is the exact setup that worked for years before..)
updated…
AE light is green, but no connection to internet or shared connections (though visible)
back to airport utility
manual setup:
internet menu:
connection sharing: share a public IP address
update
--> 2 problems
DHCP Beginning address: 192.168.0.2
DHCP Ending Address: 192.168.0.2
chose 'assist me'
(now one shared connection to Mac Mini becomes active? Had selected it earlier. Able to browse folders, but not share screen)
AE refreshed now with amber light, with reported problems
Problem 1 of 2: Internet Connection
Your Apple Wireless device does not have a valid IP address. Make sure your Apple wireless device is connected to your broadband modem or local network… etc
- changed IP address to match router IP address (?) Utility goes on to next problem
Problem 2 of 2: Conflicting DHCP Range
This Apple wireless device rejected a DHCP address in the same subnet as its internal DHCP server. You should probably switch your Apple wireless device to be in bridge mode. If you still want to be using DHCP and NAT to share a single IP address, you should change your DHCP range.
- maintain selection: share a single IP address using DHCP and NAT (utility forces you to: ignore; skip; or select bridge mode - which doesn't work..)
- chose 'skip' for problem 2
- updated AE..
New problem:
Problem 1 of 1: Double NAT
This Apple wireless device has a private IP address on its Ethernet WAN port. It is connected to a device or network that is using Network Address Translation (NAT) to provide private IP addresses. you should change you Apple wireless device from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode.
- selected Bridge Mode
updated AE…
"Setup Complete!"
Unable to connect.
** At this point, I am still able to see my shared connections, and while iTunes is open, I can play my shared library that is on my Mac Pro, which connected to the DIR-665 via ethernet, through yet another D-Link router (DIR-615)! I am still connected to the Airport Extreme via wireless, so the system is working, to an extent.*
*So I'm not sure what to do. How can I remedy my IP address issue? Bridge mode doesn't work (as far as I've experienced), so I'm struggling with my DHCP settings..*
*Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions!*

Hi Preston,
I would recommend not starting the numbering scheme for the IP addresses using a '0'. Yes the range is 0-255, but some numbers are reserved, and not generally good practice.
Also, assuming you have reset all factory defaults, start anew and have the modem --> router using NAT for dynamic IP addresses --> (other side of the house) Airport Extreme --> not a NAT configuration, but you need a simple switch. Do not use the NAT capabilities on this one. Maybe, just maybe the computer will work now. This will eliminate your double NAT and also help (hopefully) with the D-Link.
Sorry I cannot help more, I do not own any of the products you talk about, however I have networking experience. Hope it helps.

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.

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.

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.

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?
greetings
squob

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

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
