Setup D-Link DIR-655 router help

Greetings,
I'm trying to set up a D-Link Extreme Router (DIR-655) as the wireless router for my home. The setup wizard disc that came with the router doesn't appear to work on a Mac even though it says it's mac compatible on the box. I'm assuming I need to manually install the router which I have no idea how to do. My service provider is comcast and my modem is a scientific atlanta modem. I can connect to the internet by plugging Ethernet directly from the modem into my MBP. If anyone can point me in the right direction from here I'd really appreciate it.
desperately missing wireless,
JC

I have the same router D-Link DIR 655 coming and here is what I am thinking...
The CD is not for use with Mac, but finally on the net somewhere I found the answer to my question about plugging in and then immediately seeing the wireless connection, which I assume would be the case. Here is what I picture -- corrections welcome, as I will be doing this Monday. (I am way too spoiled using my iMac for a 'router' at home.. LOL it baffles the PC users... they can't find the router!)
Unplug the modem from the power supply.
Connect the Ethernet wire from the router to the modem.
Power up the router by plugging it in.
Power up the modem again by plugging it back in.
Now you should be able to see the wifi connection with a wireless laptop.
Type the default address 192.168.0.1 into FireFox and you should be able to skip to the Wireless configuration screen.
I'm trying to read about it as much as I can before it arrives. The thing I will have to do is this is for a business office and I'm not sure if I can also have another wire plugged from a computer into the modem as well as the router...because it makes me think that setup would two IP addresses. (I did this at home for years until the cable company shut me off... said I had to pay extra for 5 connections I was using with my hub!) So that will be a question for me to try to figure out.
Also, set the router on b and g not n, for the older cards, if you don't have the 'n' protocol.
So other than testing what I can do with my connection which is wired into the wall for another port on the opposite side of the room, I think that is how to start.
My first test will be to see if I can have the router connected on the opposite wall (because it will give a better shot for the signal to travel to the other rooms int he office) and have my laptop plugged in at the desk at the same time. The internet worked both from methods (plugged to the modem and plugged to the wall) but that was only one connection each time as I was alone doing this and only had a laptop with me.
Ideally I want the computer to be at the desk, able to plug into the modem, and the router across the way for the others to use on WiFi.
PS - the documentation was useless.. I am getting this info from reading other sources on the web....also be advised that you just plug in and get a WiFi connection I am going to assume it's 'open' and unless you are in a remote area at home, but in a building of other businesses like I am, you will need to password protect the wireless connection immediately.

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.

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.

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.

Setting up airport express with a d-link dir 655 router on xp

I bought a new router and would like to setup my old AX to use it to stream music. I installed the airport utility which seems to find my device but I can't connect to it - via my router or the airport utility. When I select select manual or continue I get a 60 second or so delay and then it returns to the same screen - "airport utility found an apple wireless device with default settings."
Wireless Network ebxxxx
Airport ID: 00:11:xxxxxx
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? My laptop is plugged into the same router that my AX is. I've tried what I believe to be a soft and hard boot with the AX but so far no luck.
Thanks
Chris

AS far as I am aware only the devices listed at the top of this page do UPnP
http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1996&question=UPnP
On some, such as the 624 listed here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93333 (See note 2) it actually doesn't work with a Mac properly.
The pics of the Menus on this page http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DIR-655/iChat.htm suggest it does not have UPnP
The item in the menu "Application Rules" looks like a possible name for Port Triggering (A way of allowing Multiple computers use the same ports)
However it does not seem to be listed in the Port Forward Triggering guide list

Uscing iChat behind D-Link DIR-655 Router

I have been having a lot of trouble getting ichat to work for me. I have an aol account and when i add buddies (.mac and so on), it shows they are offline, but they are online. I am behind a router, which could be the issue. The main internet is connected through my dads PC windows xp computer. I went through the dlink settings on his computer and attempted to port forward like some websites have suggested, but with no success. can someone please help.

I see this device does Port Forwarding (As it calls it) in a way that is closer to Port Triggering to one IP address.
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DIR-655/iChat.htm
It will probably pay to use Port Triggering (Applications in that menu) as there are two computers.
The PC will need the Trigger to be port 5190 and so will iChat for some stuff.
There the ports to be opened become
Trigger port 5190 on TCP to Open Ports 5190, 1024-5000 TCP and 5190 on UDP
Then the iChat side will need
Port 5678 on UDP to Trigger(open) 16393-16402 on UDP.
If you use Jabber or Bonjour set them up as single ports to a line.

My MBP 13 and d-link dir-655 router

Before reinstalling Lion last Friday. Whenever I turned on my MBP 13 inch laptop. I noticed that it would connect to my d-link router. I am able to go online. After a few minutes, my laptop would lose it's connection. I would get a blank page. I would have to reconnect to my router again. That would get me connected for good. What is causing this problem? I thought I had a virus. So last Friday, I decided to reinstall lion. I also reformatted my HD before reinstalling Lion. Now I don't experience that problem. I am able to connect through my router without any problems.

D Link DIR 655 xtreme N gigabit router

Hello
Has anyone tried to connect their T61 with a 4965AGN wireless card to the D link DIR 655? Before I go buy one, I thought I would check.
Thanks!

DO NOT buy a D Link DIR 655 if you want to operate at 802.11n speed with a properly IEEE 802.11n Draft 2 device, like the Intel 4965AGN card.
The DIR 655 only operates on the increasingly crowded 2.4GHz to 2.483GHz WiFi frequency band. You need a 802.11n access point router that operates in the 5GHz WiFi band to get reliable and sustainable 802.11n connections over time.
I strongly suggest that yuo look at a Cisco/Linksys WRT-610N, which is a dual band (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz) Wifi routers that is well capable of delivering 270Mbps connections with an Intel 4965AGN card.
I'm using Intel 4965AGN cards in several x6x ThinkPads in connecting to a LinkSys WRT-600N (the previous model to the 610N) and I am getting solid sustainable 270 Mps connections.

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

Hi everyone,
Here is the 411 about my network
Your Network Magic Version installed= : 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
The type of connection to the Internet, like DSL, Cable, or Verizon FIOS Internet Connection: = Comcast Cable 20K up / 5K down
The Brand of Modem and its Model Number the router is connected to:   cable modem = ARRIS: TM602G/CT
The Brand, Model, Hardware Revision of your Router and include the Firmware Version:=   Router = D-LINK DIR-655 A3 Firmware (rev.1.33NA)
The Method of connection your problem computer has to the Router: Wired or Wireless: Wireless
The Connection in use on the problem computer: Wireless g/b/a on PSP
Operating system and version and Service Pack Level, N/A      Also if any Anti-Virus Program or Spyware Program is actively protecting your computer.
Include your location in the post or fill out your Profile for this forum and include the location. (Reason: Not all Routers from a given manufacturer are available everywhere.)    (Camden County)  Southern NJ, USA
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.

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 ).

AirPrint and the D-Link DIR-655 solution

After much messing around I have finally achieved the ability to airprint using a DLink DIR-655 router.
In my own search for a solution it became apparent this is bothering a lot of you. So here is my solution.
Basic equipment we were using:
iPhone 4s / iPad2 / iPad3 / MacBookPro Retina / Mac mini / Apple TV (the new one - forget its model) / some random android devices / Win 7 PC
HP photosmart 5510 (B111a) Firmware ver. EPL2CN1239AR
DLink DIR-655 router (ver. B1) Firmware ver. 2.05
Set up HP printer over USB cable as per normal.
Remove USB cable and finalise connection to wireless network as per normal (follow the HP setup).
Log into your router via your browser.
In your router settings:
under SETUP / NETWORKSETTINGS / ADD DHCP Reservation (all my other devices are dynamic - this step is not essential but saves you time if you want to use your browser to log into the printer and scan or whatever - you can bookmark the address). Put in the appropriate details. You should be able to see the IP address, mac address, device name for the printer listed in Dynamic DHCP Clients section directly below.
Save settings then log back into router.
under ADVANCED / FIREWALL SETTINGS / Enable SPI - make sure SPI is disabled.That is to say, the box is not ticked. This is important.
under the same menu (ADVANCED / FIREWALL SETTINGS the next options down are NAT ENDPOINT FILTERING. For UDP Endpoint Filtering select "Endpoint Independent". For TCP Endpoint Filtering select "Endpoint Independent".
Save settings then log back into router.
under ADVANCED / ADVANCED NETWORK / MULTICAST STREAMS - check the box to enable Multicast Streams.
Save your settings.
Enjoy!

Hi Noel
I am currently changing out my entire network.
I am trying to avoid apple routers for both configurability and price.
The bonjour issues I had been having really bugged me and lately despite HP replacing my printer, D-Link sending me an unreleased firmware I can print now from iPhones but not iPads.
This is crazy.
Using cunning software I was able to see the original HP printer was not broadcasting on bonjour.
Got the new one, now it is. They were very kind at HP and gave me a free upgrade to a printer worth about 150 more. I have a lot of respect for their customer service.
However, now I can see it is broadcasting on bonjour as mentioned above I can only print from the iPhones, not the iPads. (?????)
I am looking into some routers compatible with DD-WRT (a nice firmware created by some people much smarter than I am) http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index
At another location with similar devices we have had no trouble getting everything to work including all the bridging etc.
This still has not resolved my iPad no airprint issue but I intend to check this out at the other location tomorrow.
Unfortunately the DIR-655 uses a cpu that is not compatible with DD-WRT.
I am also wanting to integrate one apple airport express to airstream music (I don't like the compression of bluetooth).
In the next 2 weeks I am going to finalise all of this and will let you know how I go.
Please keep me posted on any advancements you have too.
Edit: Oh and by the way, I, like you am using many different OS. I have about 9 iOS and osX devices, several windows PC's, 2 android devices, samsung wireless TV, dvico media player, aTV, gaming devices, HP printer etc etc... Networking used to be something I enjoyed. I have in the past had long range wireless links, linux boxes set up as routers etc but in an effort to simplify have reduced all of this (and the long range wifi link was highly illegal in terms of wattage but meant I had a 6kM link betwween two properties - probably effecting everyone in the ways own wifi ).

I have airport extreme 802.11AC as a base that connect to Cable modem. How can I connect D-link DIR-655 to AE to utilize as an extender or repeat?

Hello-
I have wireless router Airport Extreme 802.11AC that connect direct to Cable modem...how can I setup the D-Link DIR-655 wireless router to AE and act as extender or repeater?. Thanks in advance.

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.

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!!!!!

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.
