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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Photosmart D110a Wireless Troubleshooting with D-Link DIR-655 and Mac OSX 10.8

Good evening all,
Apologizes if this has already been posted. I've googled this issue a couple of times, but I still haven't found a solution for this problem.
I have the Photosmart D110a and I'm running Mac OSX Mountain Lion, and my router is a D-Link DIR-655 and my security is WPA-Personal and the router is running in 802.11gn mode. My ISP is Optimum Online.
The issue that I've been having is that the printer works wireless when everything has been recently booted up. As does the scanner. However, if it hasnt been used for a while, the printer shows up in the OSX Print & Scan settings page as idle, but when I try to print, the dialog just says "looking for printer" and never finds it, and just says "The printer is not connected" under the item in the OSX Print Queue. Because of this, I have to restart the computer or restart the printer for them to find each other again.
I've seen other solutions on here, such as giving the printer a static IP address, and this hasn't worked either. The printer is still accessible with the static IP address, which means it's still got a connection to my network, but for some reason the OS isn't recognizing it or something.
It's obvious that the printer works when everything is freshly rebooted, but I still haven't been able to figure out this issue once it's been idle for a while.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
Try following my post below, I believe it might be relevant as the router drops the Bonjour connection:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/losing-connection-to-airprint-a-few-min...
I would also suggest updating your router's firmware and check if that may help:

IPhone 3G won't connect to D-Link DIR-655 Wireless N Router

My wife and I picked up iPhone 3Gs last week, and we got home and instantly had issues connecting to our home's Wi-Fi. I assumed at first it was an iPhone issue, but think it's likely more an issue with my router. The router is brand new (two months old). I have updated the firmware to the most current (version 1.11). Both iPhones apparently connect to the router (they show Wi-Fi bars and it shows full strength), however, when I attempt to access the iTunes store, I got an error that it fails to connect, that I need to be connected to via Wi-Fi to access. I've tried everything with the router I can think of (turning of wireless security, using only WPA vs. WPA2, and having a very simple password). With each setting, it shows the phone is connected, but iTunes says I'm not. I've successfully connected to 5 other wi-fi routers without issue. Some have similar settings to my home router. Other router models I've connected to include Linksys, Trendnet, and D-Link. However, none of those have been a N router. I set my DIR-655 to work only in the wireless b and g range only, reset networking on my phones, but still doesn't work. I just don't know if there's something I'm overlooking on the settings that might keep the devices from working properly together. Any thoughts.

If it works on other networks it is most likely a compatible issue with your router (as you have surmised). Do you have MAC filtering enabled on your router? If so, have you entered the MAC address of the phone (In Settings/General/About it is called WiFi Address).
When you are connected to your router go to Settings/WiFi and tap the arrow to the right of the network name. Look at the IP address of the phone. If its pattern is 169.254.x.y this means your router is not assigning an IP address to the phone. That is almost certainly a router issue.
Next look at the DNS address. Is it the same as the DNS address on your other computers? As an experiment try changing it to a public DNS address like the ones provided by OpenDNS (www.opendns.com), 208.67.222.222.

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

IOS 5 Wireless Sync and D-Link DIR-655

Has anyone figured out the settings to be inputed into the DIR-655 settings menus in order for wireless sync to work between iTunes and iOS 5 devices? I've read about every post I can find, and nothing is specifically helping. (BTW, I had Comcast set my cable modem to "bridge", so that takes care of at least one issue that I've read about).
This wireless sync option, which is meant to make life easier, is driving me nuts.
Thanks!

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.

Time Machine back up with hard drive connected to D-Link DIR-655

Recently D-Link updated the share port utility with a mac version. I have heard that Time Machine does not easily recognize network shared hard drives but to my surprise this morning it did. With using the new software and hooking up my hard drive to my router Time machine recognized it! This is great since I dont have to buy a Time Capsule now.

First, since this is *unsupported by Apple,* there's nowhere to go when there's trouble.
Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
Second, you're risking a future update preventing it from working, and perhaps rendering your backups useless.
It's your choice, of course, but I wouldn't trust my primary backups to it.

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.

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.
