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.

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.

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/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.

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

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

Dlink DIR-615 not finding connection?

Hi all, I just acquired a Dlink DIR-615 wireless network for my KDE run laptop and all seems to be good on paper but in practice i cannot connect to a web page.
i can find the box in my wifi, it shows as linked at 100%, yet on firefox it shows that the page could not be found!? ive been looking around but im not sure where to find the solution to the issue does anyone know what i could do to improve the issue? Let me know if you need more info im still green at arch if possible a little simplistic explanation would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!!

The good news is that I think your router will work just fine. Mine supports an Arch Laptop, a Macbook, a Wii, and an HP printer via wireless.
Are you using WPA or WPA-2?
Are you using TKIP or or only allowing AES?
Are you using b,g, or pseudo-n?
What is your laptop's wireless hardware?
In my case I am using the broadcom wl driver on an 802.11g link. I have the router configured for WPA-2 Only with AES encryption
When I was setting up my system, I found that if the encryption was mis-configured, I could connect to the router and could "Ping" it. Like you, however, I could not send or receive usable packets.
Here is my modules line from /etc/.rc.conf
MODULES=(hp_wmi !ssb !b43 lib80211_crypt_tkip wl acpi-cpufreq cpufreq-ondemand cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_powersave)
Again, this is for the broadcom wl driver. Notice that I specifically excluded TKIP encryption. The prohibition on ssb and b43 are required only if one is using the Broadcom wl driver.

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 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

Wi-Fi access using DLink DIR 615

I just bought my IPad this Saturday. Can't get Wi-Fi access using my DLink DIR 615 router at home. This router supports my brother's laptop w/no problem. My IPad works fine with other hotspots

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
A few things to try when having issues like this, in order of use:
1. Make sure the router firmware is up to date.
2. Reboot the router by full power off and on.
3. Reboot the iPad by full power off and on.
4. Reset WiFi on the iPad, Settings > WiFi > forget the network and then reinstall the network info by hand.
It is very important to check and make sure the router is using fully updated firmware, especially since you said you are able to connect at other hotspots.
Hope this helps.

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:
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DIR-625/iChat.htm
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.

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.

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.

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.
Masrocha

Password
40-bit hex
40-bit ASCII
128-bit hex
128-bit ASCII

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?
