Some wifi security thingy?

[TheGhost]

A question, currently using 1.05 firmware, I can skip 1.10 and update to 1.11 without any problems right ?

[mONK_87]

Anyone using this router with PCI card???

I am using a cheapo Netgear WG311V3 PCI card.

It will take sometime to get connected when recover from hibernate.Sometime it get connected quite fast once window booted up.

Thinking of changing a better card.It seem like the Dlink N PCI card cause $1xx and above...


Any recommendation??

Hi to All,

Yesterday just went over funan dlink service centre and overheard something regarding using dir-655 with maxonline need a special firmware. When I asked the staff for more information, they don't want to explain much and say you have to pay for this firmware if you are using maxonline. Anyone know what is this firmware all about?

[liangtam]

since when was there a need to pay for a firmware?

[richneo]

yar lor since when u need to pay for a firmware.

unless its the usa securespot firmware which is under closed beta test now.

[frankman]

You got to check with them, I also understand since when we need to pay for firmware and according to them this is for starhub maxonline user. their phone number is 63383854. I don't think they are so stupid to say this right.

[stoopidbin]

hmm.. i been using dir 655 with maxonline....

i called starhub and check wats the difference between the official 1.11 firmware and the starhub 1.11SH firmware.

They gave me a lame answer.... It is just for identification purposes as in which are bundled under starhub deals.

Anyone knows whether there are performance difference?

[liangtam]

You try riao ish let us know??

[stoopidbin]

hmm i lazy to upgrade firmware :(

anyone who tested?

[avatarlam]

dont see any big difference as far as I see .. I am using 1.11SH. ANyway ... it is free download even from Singapore Dlink website. and it is publicly stated there.

[siegeholler]

are most of you leaving it on 24/7? does it consume a lot of power?

[coolstardy]

erm guys is there a DMZ function for the DIR-655??? I can't seem to locate it can someone kindly help me?

[Gr3yham3]

Okay i bought this router 2 days ago after hearing and reading good thing about it online through reviews and forums. But, after happily installing my router, i realised that the wireless signal is BAD. I cannot connect from my room, nor my brother's room. The router is situated in my eldest bro's room upstairs.

Yes, i know that router signals are usually poor when the router is placed upstairs, but then my old Linksys 54GS, though having less than average signals, at least allowed me to connect to it. So, how come a newer, draft-N router has less coverage/worse signal than a G-router? Could it be a hardware fault?

Oh my adapters are wireless-G ones. Will getting draft-N wireless adapters help ?

Any help would be much much appreciated!

if i were you i wuld bring the router for servicing. my router hv got no such issues from 1 end to the other end in my 5room flat. no line of sight with 4 bars at least.

sad but true, i am not using any draft-n compatible adapters.

[Gr3yham3]

hmm.. okie.. but are u using any WEP or WPA? cause i heard that it drops the signal lots.. also, is there anyone here who has the router upstairs? if i am not wrong a floor is dampens the signal more than a wall

[liangtam]

Are you placing the router at the EXACT place compared to ur previous Linksys? Is the wifi output pwr set to max already?

[Gr3yham3]

yep.. exactly the same position. There's only 3 options for the output right?mine's set to high already. Will turning off WEP/WPA help? And is there any 3rd party firmware that is better than the current 1.11SH version?

dlink firmware is already very good. try changing your channel?

wep/wpa doesnt affect much i reckoned.

if disabling encryption too doesnt help, go to the svc center ba.

[Gr3yham3]

hmm.. alrighty. tks for all the info.. will test out the router somemore before going down to scv centre.. anyone can tell me where the place is and whether there is any hassle bringing the routher for servicing or swapping for a another one? Receipt and what other stuff needed to be brought along?

hi a few questions, is it a good choice to pair up this router with the 2wire 2700HGV-2 ? is the HGV-2 able to set as 'bridge' mode?

If u wanna cover multi-floors, then the antennas need to be correctly positioned too.

[Gr3yham3]

okay.. so how are the antennas supposed to be positioned then?

WPA/WEP dont affect the signal. It could be incomptability of the network adapter with the Dlink. I believe you still using the Linksys adapter?

WEP/WPA affect the actual throughput.

Draft-N has better coverage if you are using also Draft-N Adapter. If using the normal G-Mode, the coverage in fact the same as any other G-Mode Wireless and no increased in coverage.

Position of the router antenna is important. Note that the Dlink router is using 2.5 dbi which is slightly weaker as compare to DGL-4300 which is using 5dbi antenna.

Channel setting is also important but if you have set it to Dlink Draft-N mode. Channel will be Fixed.

If you do not have Draft-N adapter, then you can try lower to G-Mode and check the signal strength again.

PS: I am selling my Dlink Draft-N USB adapter in ebay as I gotta myself a PCIe instead.

i already port forward 3724, still cannot.

must i use static gateway? the configurations are damn blur, how do i get computer's default gateway?
and the DNS? where to get it? must call up starhub to get it? i'm on SH maxonline.

thanks, but aiyah, i forgot to mention i'm using macintosh. i'll search around the starhub website to see if they have any configurations for macintosh

[unfinished07]

did u select forward application or port forwarding?

i used port forwarding, inside the router, at the advanced -> port forwarding.
i chose that and forwarded the default ports.

i also checked a few more checkboxes and forwarded other ports that was not included in the default.

[unfinished07]

oh yah, sorry for the noob question, what is default gateway? i need to input that to set static ip, right?

[SpinNaker]

default gateway would b IP address of ur router...

[unfinished07]

default gateway would b IP address of ur router...

ok thanks, i'll try that.

hmm........no one having the same problems using this router with WOW?
by the way, would getting a new modem solve the problem? i was already thinking of getting a new modem anyway

[SpinNaker]

if u can get your hands on 1, w/o paying a cent... y not? :D

i'm using tis router too... but I don't play WoW... *grin*

It may be configuration.

I had similar issue with my blackberry initially too, until I patched the blackberry software and also fine-tune configurations (on both BB and 655), now there is no more connection keeps dropping issue or unable to detect the Wi-Fi network issue.

select mixed 802.11g and 802.11b <- it will work but not with 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b
try it, it might helps.

i believe its compatible issue with your PDA.

[cyhchong]

Just found out that 1.11SH is for A1 hardware. After flashing from 1.10WW to 1.11SH, I have dc issues. However, if you guys are adventurous, you can use a 1.11EA firmware from Taiwan written for A3 hardware. That should solve the probs like hanging, rebooting etc. Check it out.

hi!

thnx for your wild speculations.

1.11Sh is not only for A1 hardware.

Its for A1 to A3 and starhub is giving free A3 with 1.11SH firmware shipped.

iirc the only difference in Sh firmware and none SH fimrware is just the multicast enabled by default to support ivew thats all.

:)

forgot to mention.. hardware A1 is only sold in USA with green led instead of blue.

in singapore we can only find A2 (very few in sls now) and A3 (almost every where) (these with blue led)

[cyhchong]

Thanks for the info. Actually it was not speculation, I did have DC issues and hanging issues with 1.11SH. I have to revert to the 1.10 after. However, the Taiwanese version did solve my problems. No DC, no hanging etc. Where can I download 1.11SH that Starhub is shipping specifically for A3 hardware? Appreciate if you can advise. I did download the 1.11SH from dlink.com.sg and it is for A1 hardware unfortunately. Thanks in advance.

like i mention just now, there is not such thing as 1.11SH is for A1 only. 1.11SH works for both A2 and A3 which is sold in Singapore

Makes no sense because Singapore does not sell A1 version which is already replaced by A2 and A3..

1.11SH firmware is basically just 1.11 firmware which is the same as around the world except that it had multicast enabled by default.

So if you find that 1.11 firmware from other website solve your problems, it might be due to coincidence or enable multicast is giving you problems.

thats about all.. keke so u can stop speculating about A1 and A3 liaoz :D

sorry if i am abit blunt hehe but its better to bring the correct message across rather then spreading wrong information :s34:

[liangtam]

The code from TW and SG for the same revision is the same, u can use a CRC checker for the non Starhub version.

[cyhchong]

Thanks. I also want clarity. Basically, the naming convention on the D-Link SG website implies that the firmware is for "A1" hardware unless of course it is put there for fun then I have nothing to say:

http://global.dlink.com.sg/site_support/DIR-655/Firmware/DIR655A1_V111SHB00.bin

comparing that to D-Link Taiwan which stipulates "A3"... once again unless it is put there for no reason:

http://www.dlinktw.com.tw/temp/dk2Support_Firmware/632/DIR655A3_FW111EAB06.bin

If it is hardware independent, there should not be any indication referencing to hardware revision at all. It is confusing, just wanna be crystal clear.

[bangky]

cyhchong, not sure what kind of disconnection issues you're having there - perhaps you could provide more detailed information on that by checking your router logs.

Anw in retrospect, I used to have disconnection issues with a hw. rev. A3 router repeatedly booting itself with an "AP (access point) crash" indicated in the logs. Changing to an unoccupied radio channel solved the problem.

[liangtam]

Don't think too much, just flash. D-Link will replace with lifetime wrty also ma.

BTW, the website did says A3

http://www.speedtest.net/result/280990910.png (http://www.speedtest.net)
everything starts almost immediately, until the upload part, it takes about 40secs-1min to start
i can't enter webs like google gmail yahoo and quite a few sg sites
i have no problem with hotmail soccernet and alot of other webs outside sg
everything is so perfectly fine, just that i'm kinda like stuck with surfing in only certain webs, not that they do not load, smth lk...
gmail.com will load, but when it changes to mail.google.com, it stops completely.
i don't know what seems to be the problem, even when i'm viewing the router's page, it takes very long to load..i'm on 1.11sh

[richneo]

ur ping time reply of 102ms might suggest to me that u haave some background apps running and using ur connection

if there are no other cmoputer switched on in ur network, ensure that ur wireless is secured and do a netstat -a to see if wat background apps is running

[Asakura]

i see alot of TIME WAIT
anyway the biggest problem is that websites like yahoo google i can't enter...gmail....zzzz
its getting sick
i dun think its my router. cuz now im directly connected to the connection...

u must post everything
netstat -ab is preferable, but very much longer

To help u, try " netstat -ab >> C:\output.txt "
You can copy from the txt file then

[liangtam]

As far as above result are of concern, you're running P2P. Which will provide an unfair result.

yar can see he has background apps running

maybe that exlpains his abit higher then normal ping response of 10X instad of 2x

[Asakura]

hmmmm
i duno wad are those app actually...
other den my anti virus, and msn..
wad's most impt is my surfing problem..lol
in hwz, i got no problem during peak hrs. its still so smooth..but i cant even enter a web like google.

[liangtam]

looks more rike chiur PC is already compromised riao...

[Asakura]

huh? meaning? :S
sorry very noob

[richneo]

try googling lsass.exe

[Asakura]

lol
cant go google at all haha




sry i mean i can load up www.google.com
but the search will not work
yahoo as well

[liangtam]

lol
cant go google at all haha




sry i mean i can load up www.google.com
but the search will not work
yahoo as well

the more and more it sounds like u got ur OS infected.

[Asakura]

Yaa
most likely is my OS, cuz another problem i see here is that
my Automatic Update cannot be turned on.
it keeps saying its off
when its alr on..
and my explorer.exe keeps on hang...
i think i better do a repair or reinstall be4 i come back again

[Asakura]

i got my fren to google it for me..
some say its a virus
some say even thou its sort of virus but shldnt delete...
and tis file seems to exist in alot of systems...

[Asakura]

the more and more it sounds like u got ur OS infected.

but the funny thing is
i change network adapter
i can go into google and use it
and same goes to yahoo and gmail.
zzzz

[goenitz33]

just like to check

today at Challenger i saw 2 exact DIR655 in different packaging.

any difference ?

1 in a smaller box like those normal routers & 1 in a premium bigger box o.o

besides packaging no difference right?

smaller box i think is hardware A3 bigger one if im not wrong is A2

could be wrong.. check wat it write on the serial number on the box

[ayushinx]

my dir-655 is weirdly slow.. any idea? basically i replaced it with my old befw11sv4. my new dir655 always disconnects me somehow :S

[cpuer]

my dir-655 is weirdly slow.. any idea? basically i replaced it with my old befw11sv4. my new dir655 always disconnects me somehow :S

try to update the router and the adpter drivers, change the channel around in the router.

[Desmond_]

btw the current cheapest is still $219? Thank

[suppin]

Hi all,

I am considering on getting this router, and from what I gathered, I will need to have a separate modem to connect to right? (I'm on SNBB) If so, is the Thomson ST536v6 good enough to provide a good BT connection with this router? Thanks!

[kivine]

guys, a qn.


how many NAS can i attached to this 655?

[liangtam]

as many as u like???

[kivine]

as many as u like???
sure bo? Is it limited by the amount of LAN ports which is 4 on the 655 ?

[liangtam]

sure bo? Is it limited by the amount of LAN ports which is 4 on the 655 ?

Nope.
NAS is afterall a computer equipment that has its own OS, RAM.

[kivine]

let's assume i have 5 dlink-323-NAS. how could i connect all 5 to the router?

[shadowandy]

let's assume i have 5 dlink-323-NAS. how could i connect all 5 to the router?

get a switch (gigabit preferred), and hook up them up. I bought a gigabit switch (http://www.shadowandy.net/2008/06/some-pictures-of-dgs-1008d.htm) so that i could attach more devices to the DIR-655

[liangtam]

let's assume i have 5 dlink-323-NAS. how could i connect all 5 to the router?

Oh, thats easy

DIR655 <--> Switch <--> DNS-323


Let me make another example
DIR655 <--> 5p Switch <--> 5p Switch <--> 5p Switch <--> 5p Switch <--> DNS323


You can keep expanding and cascade actually.
The latter example will give you a NET gain of: (4-1)+(5-2)+(5-2)+(5-2)+(5-1) = 16 usable port.

A single switch with more ports is better actually if you are in intention of upgrading in near future

[kivine]

will this cause a certain lag due to an additional hardware?

Let's say w/o a switch, the max i could connect is 4 NAS?

[liangtam]

will this cause a certain lag due to an additional hardware?

Let's say w/o a switch, the max i could connect is 4 NAS?

Its on the LAN segment leh, communication time negligible.
Max 4 by wired means w/o switch yes.

[kivine]

alrighty, thanks linagtam and shadowandy.

[suppin]

can anyone advise if the ST536V6 is good enough to provide stable BT performance with this modem?

[richneo]

set ST536 to bridge mode

should be very stable

[sAxman_Returns]

the price is still very high deneh.....

[ry0suk1]

saxman dont dig out a threat so long ago man...
where is the threat u post ?

[sAxman_Returns]

er...how long is long? i dunno if it's sold leh....what threat you talking about?

[ry0suk1]

02-07-2008 last posted 1month+ liao lo...
recently saw quite a number of yr thread..
sold? u mean this router sold out?

[sAxman_Returns]

oh sorry, got mixed up with another thread.

This product is still selling what? only dig 1 month+ old thread leh...3 years thread I also dig one, 1 month is nothing lar...aiyo....

it's still better than me create another new thread right?

[galliano]

Any idea how much 655 will be @ Comex soon? Must queue up again?

Side-track: does it support HomePlug connections? QoS?

[ry0suk1]

comex for this well known router, should cost no less then 190... lol
+ some freebies
Dir655 QOS is awarded one

[MarineX]

Any idea how much 655 will be @ Comex soon? Must queue up again?

Side-track: does it support HomePlug connections? QoS?

yes it does for the above both mentioned(side-track).

[djcoolmax]

the 655 is much better then my prev (LinksysWRT54G). more stable, Gigabit LAN (esp useful when connected to DNS323).

Price has come down already.. should be around $200 range.

[Vulpix]

I want 855...

[MarineX]

I want 855...

me too.. hahas.

[richneo]

me too.. hahas.
me three..

[sAxman_Returns]

sell your 655 to me lar hookay?

[MarineX]

sell your 655 to me lar hookay?

will, if 855 launches.

[Bieffe]

USB behind is for what us? Print Server?

[richneo]

USB behind is for what us? Print Server?
WCN .

[Bieffe]

Then for DNS behind router should point to the IP of the router right?

But this fellow say otherwise wor
http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-vista.htm

What mentioned there is not when we are behind a router ya?

[richneo]

point to ip of router also will be relayed by the router to ur isp assigned dns

unless u specifically wan to use dns belonging to another isp

BUT I JUST THREW AWAY MY OLD ROUTER!

OT alittle Linksys just announced DUAL-N band router
http://www.coolgadgetszone.com/2008/07/03/computer/peripherals/cisco-announces-wrt610n-simultaneous-dual-n-band-router/

Will this beat DLink 655?

[liangtam]

throw away, so wasteful...

see lor, u value overall performance or just for the dual band feature

[Bieffe]

But dual band should improve overall performace right and Linksys also have their own traffic mgt chip in this new router 610. Just wondering can Linksys new traffic mgt beat Dlink's traffic mgt which so far get good reviews.
Besides i not confident of the Linksys no antena design. I suspect in open area those with exposed antenna sure better. This is also one reason why i may not be getting a Linksys.

Is not working any more so keep for what.....see already sians.....besides this is my 2nd SMC with problem that just Kaput for dunno why.

[liangtam]

u shld gibe it to me :D

dual band one thing, main processor and subcomponent chip another, then how much u can get off qos chip oso nid test.

In short, read concise review, such as this: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30530/96/

Hey guys. I got the DIR 655 thats attached to the ST 536v6 modem (unbridged cause i can't seem to put it on bridge mode). Somehow, the signal strength of the DIR 655 is rather weak. I got one neighbour downstairs/upstairs, his signal strength is damn strong as compared to my DIR 655. currently the DIR655 is in my room and signal is strong but when i go to living room, the signal is like damn weak. Weaker than my downstairs/upstairs neighbour whose signal is strong wherever i go (in my house) :p

Can anyone help me? cause now my father asking me to buy another router if i can't fix the weak signal.

Btw, a bit off topic, but whenever i try to put the ST 536 to bridge mode, during the configuration process, it tells me that i need to shutdown comp to finish up the configuration but when i restart the PC, nothin happens and the modem just remains the same.

First of all, if you place the DIR-655 in your room and the room happens to be further away from the living room, while the neighbour's router is place nearer to your living room, of coz the signal would be stronger than yours. To make matter worst, some inconsiderate ignorant consumers upgrade the antenna of their wireless router/AP and thus, their signals interfer with their neighbours' WLAN.

Next, the antenna of your DIR-655, the position of it, distance from the wall, etc all contributes to the signal strength.

So, unless you tackle the root cause of the problem, else change almost any wireless router won't solve the problem.

Just to let you know, I stay in HDB EA and so far, among all the wireless routers I have used before (all stock antenna), DIR-655 has the most strongest signal and coverage.

[sAxman_Returns]

aiya, just whack a stronger antenna lor, signals strength war!!!! later all tio cancer.....:s22:

[tin.man789]

I'd say the living room is at most 10m away from my room. Even in my parents bedroom where its just about 5 meters away, the signal isn't great. On the other hand... my neighbour's signal is strong like hell everywhere in my house. Thats the weird thing. I tried in the kitchen, balcony and my brother's room, all got my neighbour's signal. Although some places its just 2 bars out of 4/5 bars, the internet speed speed is still fast. btw, my neighbour doesn't use any form of security...

in that case, say if i were to go with Saxman_returns words, how do i go about increasing my signal strength?

thanks for the reply btw

All have been said in my post...how you position the 655, the antenna. All plays a part in signal strength. Still no good then upgrade the 3 antennas to more powerful ones but it doesn't do much - juz transmit at higher signal and probably increase coverage but the client adapters still do not increase in transmission power/ability.

If the signal strength is so much of importance to your dad than actual performance, then do the above.

[djcoolmax]

aiya, just whack a stronger antenna lor, signals strength war!!!! later all tio cancer.....:s22:

Erm.. there's no solid proof that RF signals cause cancer loh.... however...Smoking has and yet.. alot of people still smoke. :s31:

[albertchng]

Create a directonal dish & place behind your antenna, point to whichever room your wireless client is in for maximum coverage.

[sAxman_Returns]

well, i tell you, even you have the solid proof about excess exposure of RF signals casing cancel, people will still continue using it :s22:

[galliano]

well, i tell you, even you have the solid proof about excess exposure of RF signals casing cancel, people will still continue using it :s22:

Thing is, the performance is very much affected. I've switched the DIR655 to the living room but now it basically gives me the same problem of having bad signal in my room. Sometimes cannot even detect the DIR655 network. However, my neighbour's one is still going strong no matter where i go. Regarding the changing of antennas, is there a specific D-link branded Antenna i should go for?

[sAxman_Returns]

why did you ask your neighbour about his set up? it could be his signal intefering yours.....

Gd question. But normally for g/b routers, i think can go for any brand.

Ask you, wireless N routers can change antenna?... Hmm.. :s11: Sorry, i do not know much about N routers also.

[liangtam]

Depends on model, even some g oso cannot change because the manufacturer integrate it with the plastic casing.

impossible its working fine with me for Windows XP on g my B only works well in mode of WPA/WPA2.

11b can only work well with WPA. WPA2 known for compatibility issues. Set as WPA and WPA2 if required.

yes, likely ba. unless someone can come out with the tweaks and stop saying theirs can soar and not showing the necessary tweaks.

my shub premium in e past can dl at 1398KB/s now only at most 200kb/s. pathetic. And that is like about a mth ago that i've experience such speeds le.

Or urs is XP with g wireless working with WPA2? or is it both need to set to WPA to work? I already make mine WPA or WPA2 auto.....still can't connect....so need to use WPA only lah?

Disable WCN

[Vulpix]

That's the only conclusion I can come up with. I directly connected my starhub cable to my computer, and it was moving at like 3-4kb/s for a torrent I was trying. Took it out, plugged in my BBOM from Singtel, and suddenly the torrent shot up to 40-50kb/s. I can't think of anything else to blame.

My router is the DIR-655, so should be no problem?

Hi Bro & Sis,

I'm newbie in HardwareZone and Router products. I used to owend a ProLink Router and it works fine for me. And I just brought this D-Link DIR-655 as many of you guys give a number of good feedbacks. And I'm here to ask all bro and sis sme questions. I'm totally new to router so I hope you all can alighten me:o

1) I have install my router and link my ethernet to my both pc, they work fine. But, on my laptop there is a problem, the connect is as per normal, but at first it shows limits connection. After that I try to manaually key in IP, now the limits connection is off but there are no connection to the internet. On the Activity, under Sent there are some data, but Received there are nothing. So what should I do?

2) As both my internet speed always shows 100.0Mbps and my laptop shows 54Mbps. I'm using Starhub Maxonline Express. How and what can I do to make full use of the internet speed? This is my speedtest.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/316340106.png

3) When I download using bittorret, and there are few seeds but my downloading speed always like hit only 50kb/s. What can I do to increase the download speed?

Thanks for reading. And will wait for all the bro and sis replies.

Cheers
Yuen

[liangtam]

Told u to follow MarineX steps liao mah.
The older adapter with no WPS support will keep mentioning the certificate thingy, especially if u went to press the side button since it will be fully activated.

[liangtam]

1) For the laptop, pls remove any IP entry and allow the DHCP to assign instead. If you cannot get an assignment, it means there is a communication problem. Ensure the wireless encryption key is correct, WPA is recommended.

2) MOL Express is 8000. You're getting more than what u're suppose to.

3) Ensure green ticks at the bottom of BT client

[Bieffe]

Told u to follow MarineX steps liao mah.
The older adapter with no WPS support will keep mentioning the certificate thingy, especially if u went to press the side button since it will be fully activated.But those setups are located where? The Dlink setup page or XP connections setup?

[richardyuen]

Questions Back

1) Where do I check the wireless encryption key is correct? I heard that my lappy does not support WPA.

2) Does speedtest really helps? But some other website like download seems slow. Maple client can reach 500kb/s. Megaupload is about 80kb/s. Am I fully using or can I make it more faster in anyway?

4) What are the differents between high end and a low end router?

Hi guys,
Need help! I upgraded from a linksys wrtg54 router to dir 655. My setup is a desktop PC connected to the router via a lan cable while my laptop uses wireless. Previously I share a Public folder between my PC and laptop and there is no problem accessing the folder.

After I changed to the DIR 655, my laptop could not see the public folder and vice versa. When I do a ping (either PC or Laptop using the correct IP address, they give me a 'destination host is unreachable' error. It is not my firewall setting as I have configured it correctly to see the addresses. I also uninstalled it to try without firewall and the same problem occurs.

I played with the router settings: disabled QOS, firewall, WISH etc but to no avail. Now here's the funny part, when I connect my laptop to the router via a LAN cable, they could immediately see each other's public folder (and I did'nt even have to configure my firewall to allow access even though the IP address is different - should I be worried?)

Anyone has any ideas what could be wrong? I already called dlink tech support and all they could offer was to reconfigure my folder sharing pointing me to microsoft's instructions on the web. Sheesh.

http://i33.tinypic.com/33bfgqt.jpgJUst uncheck "Enable" right?
Does this lower the overall sercurity of the WLAN?

1. Go to router setup page
2. Look for the advance tab
3. On the right bottom u will see Wi-Fi protected setup, click on it
4. Uncheck "Enable"
5. Save settings and exit

What is WPS or Wi-Fi protected setup?

Hi,
I think I narrowed down the problem. When I use the ping under the tools section, I actually can ping the IP address of my laptop. But when I try using the host name, it gives me an error saying host name is unresolved. When I ping from dos prompt, I will get destination host unreachable. So it seems it is a host name resolving issue? How can I fix it?

tks,
bernard

Can ping IP but cannot resolve domain name, you got specify correct DNS entries in your TCP/IP Properties?

If you run "nslookup www.singnet.com.sg" in command prompt, what you get in return?

Anyone update to 1.20 firmware yet? I want to update but it says it's only meant for North American markets and if I upgrade it will void my warranty...

Wireless Network Name
Provide a name for Guest Zone wireless network.
Enable Routing Between Zones
Use this section to enable routing between Host Zone and Guest Zone, Guest clients can not access Host clients' data without enable the function.

Some ppl reported that this 1.20 has got problem loading back the config files..

Is it true ?

You can surf net or not?
Your nslookup is ok lah, can resolve www.singnet.com.sg to 165.21.74.59...

yes, that's the funny part, my laptop can connect to internet without problems using the wireless. Its just that they are unable to see each other in the LAN and so unable to see each other's public folder. But when I use an ethernet connection, they can see each other. Seems like some routing is not done correctly. Can it be a hardware fault? The strange thing is, the pc connected to the router, using the ping tool in the router admin page, I cannot resolve the host when I ping itself. But using its own IP address, it works. When I ping in the dos prompt, both ip address and host name works.

Laptops cannot see each other in the LAN, try turn off your windows firewall.

From router usually is not able to ping host name of your laptops, unless your router got host file to resolve host name to IP.

yes, already tried turning off firewall still the same. The ping is on the desktop (connected through cable) to the router. The router cannot ping the name of the desktop too although in dos windows it can. Also added in the host name in lmhost.sam but still no go. Once I connect the laptop using lan cable, they can see each other and ping each other. Really scratch head liao. I give up liao. Cannot share folder at least still can surf net.

Hi can u put the host name and ip into

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\host instead of the Imhost.sam and try again.
in the format of
ip hostname
example
192.168.1.1 myComputer

[albertchng]

Both wired connection, can see each other, can ping each other.

1 wired 1 wireless, cannot see each other, cannot ping each other???

[bernwong]

yup its a mystery. I also put the entry into the host file and yes they are the same workgroup but still no use. Previously, using linksys router, no such problem. The funny thing is 2 wired connections to router can ping, one wireless then cannot. I think it may really be a hardware problem as using the system check ping tool also cannot resolve host name of itself while command prompt ping has no such issue. really suay.

You try to run in DMZ first....sometimes it will work....if it does mean is the sercurity settings issue.

Have you tried to disable the 'WLAN Partition' option?

Check out these 2 settings under Network Settings

NetBIOS Advertisement
Check this box to allow the DHCP Server to offer NetBIOS configuration settings to the LAN hosts. NetBIOS allow LAN hosts to discover all other computers within the network, e.g. within Network Neighbourhood.

Learn NetBIOS information from WAN
If NetBIOS advertisement is swicthed on, switching this setting on causes WINS information to be learned from the WAN side, if available. Turn this setting off to configure manually.
