D-link router DIR-615, Can't access internet with Airport Wireless 802.11B

It is a known issue with many Dlink routers that with the router wireless settings on "802.11 B,G,N" it will NOT work with your G3/ some G4 wireless cards that ONLY support 802.11B.
Enter 192.168.0.1 in your address bar to access your Dlink router. Go to settngs....wireless settings...
Go to your router settings and select "802.11B" ONLY or "802.11 B and G". This will solve the problem. D-link is aware.
I was told they will be coming out with updated firmware to correct the issue.

It's almost better to have a 2nd router for the older B cards anyway because running in multi mode with the 615, it's not a dual band device, so you won't see any speed benefits in G or N. better to run B/G anyway.

  • Having trouble accessing internet with new wireless WRT54...

    Having trouble accessing internet with new wireless WRT54G. Used easylink to read existing router BEFSR41 which works great to westell modem provided by Verizon. When connect new router Easylink configures WRT54G but when trying to connect to internet...fails. All lites indicate good. Not using wireless device yet, just the wired ethernet. Router set up as DHCP.
    I keep going back to old router and works great every time. Help! 

    Thanks for response, however I tried setting unit to 192.168.2.1 (leaving DHCP) to no avail. I put my old unit (BEFSR41) back in and I'm back up. I need to sit back and decide which way to go on this. Perhaps it's defective and I should return it.

  • I am trying to get a 8500a connected over wireless but it is not linking to d-link router dir-615.

    The printer connects to the same router via wired port but will not get a valid address using wireless.  IP address is 169.254.140.246 in the wireless network test report even though everything is labeled PASS
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I have about 8 things on the same network and they all work.  It is only the printer.  Changing to WPA is better for security anyway so just have to go reenter the netork info on everything.
    Weird that the printer reported it was link successfully when it had an invalid IP address.

  • Can't access internet via Airport even when I have full signal

    MacBook    
    When I turn Airport on I get full signal from my wireless connection but when I open Safari it says it cannot connect to the internet. I have had my MacBook since December '06 and it never gave me this problem before. Only in the last month is it giving me this problem. I am using the exact same wireless connection as before......i dunno whats going on. Please help.

    I was just going to post this exact topic! My iBook connects to my home Airport Express flawlessly, and my iPhone can detect and connect to it, but then it doesn't display the WiFi logo (it still uses EDGE). Any help for the three of us?

  • ITunes 7 Can't Access AirTunes with Airport Express

    After upgrading to iTunes 7 I can't no longer play music through my Airport Express. It worked fine in iTunes 6. It shows up in the pull-down menu, but I can't select it.
    On another machine that already had my APE selected, I now get a message "None of the selected remote speakers could be found on your network. Please configure your network settings and AirTunes configuration..."
    Any ideas??

    You have to make sure IPv6 is turned on in the Network System Preference panel. System Preferences -> Network -> Airport -> TCP/IP -> Configure IPv6 -> Automatically.

  • FIX - D-Link Model DIR-615

    Hi All,
    My IPad was constantly losing its connection to my D-Link router but seemed to be working OK with the wireless network at work (not sure what hardware is used there). I first tried changing the D-Link from 802.11b/g/n to 802.11n only with no success. I then updated the firmware and that has seemed to do the trick (immediately and ever since the firmware upgrade I have had no dropped connections and it now instantly connects to the network after waking).
    I know this won't help everyone, but I certainly understand the frustration this is causing and hopefully this info can help at least a few of you...Good luck!

    Try this:

    I did not see the DIR-615 but checked the manuals in Dlink's website and they seem similar. Also check to see if the UPnP is enabled.
    Good luck.

  • Using the D-Link Router DIR-655 in order to set up wireless printing

    Hi, I have a newly purchased D-Link Router, DIR-655, and it had a USB port which enables NAS. However, I was wondering if I would be able to set up my printer, an HP P1005, in order to print wirelessly. I plugged in the printer's usb cable into the router and I refreshed my airport. It found a "printer server" and I connected to it. However I'm now oblivious to the next step I must take in order to set up this wireless printer network.
    Any help/advice would be awesome
    Thanks.

    That is of course possible. One hears that D-Link do not always play well with Macs, although my ADSL modem/router is fine. I connect my HP printer using Apple's Airport Express (that has a USB port) and maybe that is part of the installation of that device.
    Have you turned on the printer sharing features in System Preferences >Sharing or even the Windows Printer.
    You mention the Port number: is the firewall allowing access to that port?

  • New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

    Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

    iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
    TIA
    Rich

    You IT person should be able to sort this out.  But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this.  Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
    Any could be lots of things.
    The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc?  The internet settings are all the same.  Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
    Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

  • Airport Off, but can still access Internet?

    How is it that my Airport is supposedly OFF, yes I can still access the Internet.
    This may seem like a stupid question, but I need to toggle off and on, because I am setting up a print server (or atleast attempting to), and I can't access it with it's IP address when the airport is on.
    Anybody have any advice with perhaps setting up the Netgear Wgps606 print server?
    I was able to print through it, but only because the server is connected directly to my computer via internet. My goal is to be able to print wirelessly.

    I think I need to start over.
    Basically, I bought the Netgear WGPS606 inorder to set up two printers to print wirelessly.
    I called Netgear and they informed me that one of my printers (Epson CX5800F) is NOT compatible with Wireless printing (although I was able to print with the server connected directly to my computer).
    They also told me that I have to call Apple and have them help me to open up a port for that printer.
    Anyhow, I have a wireless router (Belkin N1 Wireless Router).
    How can I access the server without having to plug it in to my computer?
    When my AIrport is ON, I cannot access the printer server, and now even when I turn it off, I still cannot.
    I think that I am just going to return this thing. Any suggestions of Print Servers that DO work with apple (are affordable) and perhaps even wireless?

    Hi triscele666,
    So you try to login with your preferred Apple ID (the one you are supposed to use) and it asks you for a username?   This sounds like there is no Apple Support Communities user linked to that Apple ID, so it asks you for a username to create one, but there is an existing user linked to that email.
    Do you have any other Apple IDs that may have been used to create an Apple Support Communities user?

  • My old appleID use email with domain already deactivate. So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

    So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

    Hi ccharat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    I hope this helps,  
    -Joe
