WRE54G not working with D-Link DIR-655

After having 2 Linksys WRT310N units fail within 14 months, I was given a D-Link DIR-655 to use for my home network. When I originally purchased the WRE-54G for use with the 310N, the signal strength as indicated on a Tivo and PS3 went from 20%-40% range to 70%-85%. These two components are approximately 30 ft horizontally, and 20 ft down vertically from the router.
Upon replacing the router with the DIR-655, both of these units are again registering signal of 20%-40%, as if the WRE-54G is not functioning, and/or the TiVo and PS3 are getting their wireless signal directly from the DIR-655.
I can access the WRE-54G's web interface, can ping it, can see it as active in the DIR-655's interface, and have two solid blue lights. Everything has been powered down and reset multiple times. I have the same issue whether or not the WRE-54G sits inside or outside my DHCP range.
How can I determine if these components are getting signal from the router through the WRE-54G or if they are getting the signal directly from the router and bypassing the WRE-54G, and is there a way to "force" these components to take signal from the WRE-54G?

Hello. Is the D-link an N router? The WRE doesn't really work well with N routers. The ppl that have say that security must be disabled. I think I have read posts that got this working, though. I'm wondering if the WRE is physically on the edge of your signal strength, e.g. if you got the WRE closer to the router it would work better. The only thing that is unusual is that you said you have two solid blue lights. The activity light should be blinking blue. So I guess I don't think the WRE is really doing anything right now, though you have all the indications except for increased signal strength.
As far as forcing the equipment to connect, you'd just have to set up static IP's and say that the WRE IP addy was the gateway, not your router. But I don't think that is the problem as WIFI will connect to the stronger signal if it is present. I just don't think the WRE is repeating the router signal.
Edit: Did a search. See if this post helps:

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:

For any help with this proccess I would highly recommend contacting Dlink support.

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.

Ios 8 not working with chevy link

I upgraded my ipad 3 and iPhone 4S to IOS 8. After the upgrade neither device works correctly in my Chevrolet vehicle via Chevy Link. Both devices worked perfectly with Chevy Link when I was using IOS7.
When I plug in my ipad or Iphone it will connect and play songs but as soon as I select a playlist it displays an error message in my vehicle information screen. When you click "OK" to clear the message the device is immediately disconnected from Chevy link and the radio goes back to XM.
Any suggestions how to remedy the situation? As I said before, all of my Apple devices worked perfectly under IOS7.

After having the same problem with my 2013 Chevy Equinox, I did a factory reset of my iPhone 5s and re-installed IOS 8 from scratch.
I used my iTunes backup to restore my apps, contacts, photo ..etc
Since I did that, I was able to connect my phone via bluetooth to my Chevy Equinox, make phone calls, listen to music ..etc
So far so good. I made about 10 calls, stopped the car, restarted the car and reconnected the phone and it worked.
I wonder if the upgrade from IOS 7 to IOS 8 is not working properly and causing problems with Bluetooth. It seems that a full install after a factory reset fixed my problem.
Hopefully, it is the end of the nightmare. Good luck.

WRE54G v3 I can't get it to work with D-Link DIR-615.

I just got the WRE54G today and spent all day without any luck trying to get this to work. I keep getting "Site survey fail, please try again". Which is what I've been doing most of the day, besides the reset button , as well as sticking a pin into it to get the Link LED RED.
I'm a novice and was hoping it would be plug and play.

Do a manual configuration...Please follow this link

Replaced Linksys WRT54G with D-Link DIR-655, shared computers gone

I got tired of power cycling the Linksys so I got the D-Link and everything is good, except that I can't see my shared computers anymore, or remote login with Remote Desktop Connection.
My computer is a MacBook Pro, the other two are Windows XP desktops, and all are wireless. Edit: Also neither of the XPs can see each other, and they also could before.
I know it has something to do with the firewall on the new router, because it worked fine on the other. I think it has something to do with netbios and/or bonjour, but I don't know enough about them to figure out what to change.
Thanks

GAH, I'm such a Noob. I finally remembered that Kaspersky Internet Security had to have the network set to trusted under its firewall settings. It's working fine now.

Touch screen not working with internet link in safari

Anyone has the same problem?
After 1.1.1 update, my touch screen occassionally fails to respond any tap on internet links in safari. no matter which web site you go to, no link will work on tap.
I tried to clean catch, cookies, etc. The only way to out of it is to reset the phone (both key pressed).
It happens about once or twice a day, not often enough for Apple people to duplicate it, but enough to bother me.

I have had the same exact problem occur 3 or 4 times since the update. I fix it by turning the phone off and on again.

Stabilizing not working with Dynamic Link

So, here's the steps:
1) Right click clip in premiere
2) Select 'Replace with after effects comp...'
3) In AE i click 'Stabilize Motion'
4) Select motion source 'cu_1.mpeg' the only video track
5) Check 'Position' and 'Rotation'
6) Setup my two tracking points
7) Click 'Analyze Forward' button
8) When analyzing is done i click 'Apply'
At this point the clip is stabilized.
9) Click 'Save' and return to premiere
This is where the problem is. Premiere sees the linked AE comp but doesn't do all the stabilizing. From what i can tell it's doing the anchor point but ignoring the rotation in the AE comp. I think this because i do see the edge of the frame moving around like it's doing some stabilization.
The clip is fine if I pre-render the AE comp.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
p

The only secure way I have found to do it, using and other

that I am using in my application (i.e. Myriad Pro, Myriad Pro

and I embed them via Flash CS3 enviroment my fonts. Then I make the

If you want an example check this one:

Due to embed fonts, the size of swf is ~180KB, although it
displays just a fading text....!

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.

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.

ATV & D-Link DIR-655 (Not connecting in N Mode)

Hopefully someone can explain this to me.
The D-Link DIR-655 does not connect to the ATV in N-mode, only in G.
I don't see anything in the ATV to force a N-mode connection.
Are these 2 unit compatible in N-Mode or do I have to have the new Airport Extreme unit to accomplish this.
Or is there a particular setting that the D-Link unit needs to have to accomplish this connection.
Looking forward to your replies.

do you have any other wireless devices that connect in "n" mode?
have you checked your router to make sure that "n" mode is enabled ?
i know in mine you can restrict it to "g" or "b and g" so maybe yours has something similar and "n" isn't activated.

Since Reader X previous view tool not working with linked documents

We have many linked pdf documents. After upgrading to Acrobt Reader X we can´t go back to the parent document by using the "previous view" command. In older versions we can use this function to navigate back. Is there an option in the preferences to reactivate this possibility?

I have been told by Adobe support that this is not a bug, but a security feature.
Our company has, over many years, developed for our most important software application a PDF help system with hundreds of books and thousands of pages. There are myriad links between and within the books. In order to make navigation through this morass easier, we have provided our users a starting "Main Menu" with links to the books. We also set it up so that only one PDF is open at any given time ("open in same window" option), otherwise a user could end up with hundreds of open PDF documents on their taskbar or desktop. We also have our users take advantage of the "Previous View" mechanism to make it easier to navigate while keeping only one window open at a time. (The browser "Back" button trick will not work with PDFs that have been closed).
However, Since version X of the Reader, the Previous View mechanism will not work with PDFs that have been closed. That is, you can only get back to a previous view in another PDF if it is still open. As mentioned above, this could leave our users with hundreds of open PDFs, and thus it is not an option for us. But Adobe has ignored our pleas.
You must vote with your feet; that is all Adobe understands. Adobe does not care about our needs and we have given up on them. We are currently telling our users:
"If you use a non-Adobe PDF reader, you will be able to install it on a system alongside any version of Adobe Reader, including version 10. We have found that Tracker Software makes an excellent free product called PDF-XChange Viewer, which may be downloaded HERE. PDF-XChange has a smaller footprint, is faster, and has more features than Adobe Reader, including a 64-bit version for Windows XP/Vista/7.
To set up this program to optimally use our help system, go to Preferences, and under "General," specify that the Documents Layout be Single rather than Multiple. Then you will be able to use the Alt keys with the arrows, or the Previous/Next View buttons on the toolbar, with closed PDFs."

I'm trying to work with some links in Illustrator, but the program is not updating the artwork properly. What am I doing wrong?

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

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.

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.
