D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router - Product Info

[Kiwi8]

if u use mol ultimate with sb6100, you'll have to buy it. the only BUTS are top-line of Netgear and top-line of SMC.

There are still many redeeming qualities to it. Such as(but not limited to) the much improved draft N performance, gb switch, lifetime wrty etc. Of cos, such qualities less the last one mention is available for other 2 brands as well.

If you need the performance, why not get it instead?

Yes I understand that we have little choice if we are using MOL Ultimate. :o

[richneo]

Somehow I'm not keen on buying this DIR-655 at the moment as since Feb 2008 they have stopped the policy of allowing hardware changes in the event wireless N gets ratified. Those who bought before Feb 2008 are having a good deal.

but dir-655 comes with life time warranty wor

perhaps in the event of break down, they might replace with a ratified n router when its released?

I have seen those DIR-655 offered at challanger. They are all the newer A3 revision.
So i guess its already an upgraded version that will be able to take foreseeable "N" standard revision with just firmware upgrades. It is however guessing on my part thou.

Fact is, G speed is no longer enough for today Bandwidth intensive internet use after you throw in encryption, for example, Singnet 10mbps will use up all of a 54G+WPA available downstream which is around 10mbps effective. If you were to use the same setup to access LAN resources or backup to NAS, you will take ages to complete your task. Streaming of HD contents will easily requires at least 10mbps for most downloadable x264 video encoded at 720p. Those insane bluray rips will take no less then 20mbps constant bandwidth to stream.

Thus, given today application bandwidth requirements, moving on even to Draft N standards isnt really that bad a idea, as there isn't any other cheaper alternative without needing extra wire to provide that kind of speed for most HDB users.

Anyway, i'm going down to SLS to do some field survey. Hopefully i can find a good offer that is not listed in the online pricelist from hwz and vr-zone.

[misato]

Bought the DWA140 for one of the older notebook at home.

Signal strength at the location last time was low or very low.

Now, can hit 216 Mbps and signal strength on average is Good, to Very Good, sometimes Low. Shiok manz...

How to ensure more constant Speed and Signal?

Already set to WPA2 and 20/40Mhz.

I am going to get 2 expresscard for other notebooks. Abit expensive. I bought the DIR655 for $199, Challenger member price.

The adapters cost almost the price of the router. DWA140 cost me $120. Expresscard will cost about $150 each. Anywhere has better pricing for the expresscard?

Signal strength is very dependent on your environment interference. For example, 2.4GHz Dect are one common cause of poor signal for wireless user. Overcrowding of 2.4GHz application is also common causes (meaning when you scan for your AP when trying to connect, you notice alot of other entries).

There is a saying that goes "the guy with the bigger guns usually win". This is also quite true to a certain extend in wireless technology where the guns refers to the antenna used. However, antenna too have their own constrain, for example, the higher gain (dbi) an onmi-directional antenna is, the bigger the blind spots gets as well. From my experiences, 5dbi seems to gives the better coverage and gain for 5rm HDB out of my set of 1dbi/3dbi/5dbi/7dbi/12dbi antenna.

thanks,

should turn off WISH? I read somewhere that switching it off help to stablise the speed. I tried it, seems to work.

Using it now bridge my 2WIRE modem cum router with it.......

[novatliz]

if go fully on the N networks, will those devices still using G adapter can still tap onto the N networks?

[danxiaogui86]

if go fully on the N networks, will those devices still using G adapter can still tap onto the N networks?

Let me rephase. If u set ur router to N only. ur G cannot connect. there a option to set to N and G . so u got no problem with ur g adapter.

[liangtam]

Yes I understand that we have little choice if we are using MOL Ultimate. :o

You may need it even with few mbps, not just the ultimate plan

[novatliz]

there a option to set to N and G .

ic. there is such option available for dir 655. wonderful!

thank you

Nice..rev A3 is green certified :)

[richneo]

the one that starhub gives is also A3 green

[misato]

green is good.
Just wondering who is using the A3 revision now. Is it any better then the older A2?

Thanks.

My 655 is A3 also. Now my network is fully N. Just bought 2 more dwa643 yesterday. Cost me $155 each. The entire conversion to N for my home cost me $629.

My notebook is showing constant 300Mbps with Signal Strength Very Good to Excellent.

so far only can achieve with newly install
My 655 is A3, 1.11SH Firmware.

you might not be able to find hardware a2 now unless the shop got old stocks

starhub only ships a3 and above

change the channel from 1 to 11

in case the channel is 12 or 13 ur broadcom might not be able to see

[Molely]

thanks richneo bro

it works. i never knew the channel will affect the broadcom adapter

thanks a lot.

[richneo]

thanks richneo bro

it works. i never knew the channel will affect the broadcom adapter

actually it doesnt affect broadcom..

its just that USA spports 11 channel while asia support 13 channels and if u are using usa drivers for ur broadcom adaptors, u can only see 11 channels

I just redeemed a 655 with my points :s13: Yeah, it's A3!

how to redeem??? and need how many pts?

[ice_xtreame]

how to redeem??? and need how many pts?

Aren't you aware about Hub Rewards Points given out on every month stated on behind your bill.

The number of points you get on every month correspond to the balance in your monthly bill (1 point per dollar on bill).

You can redeem the points through starhub.com via Hub ID.

http://www.starhub.com/portal/site/Rewards/menuitem.edffb352439473b7eaaf3b608324a5a0/?vgnextoid=3cad1840a0e3c010VgnVCM10000038425a0aRCRD

It requires 6750 points for full redemption and 900 points + $155 w/GST for partial redemption.

Currently 655 is based on Draft N 2.0, but when N is officially announced later (December 2009) in the year, will a firmware upgrade make it compatible with N?

[liangtam]

Theres no saying whether if it will be compatible with ratified N specs.

[leinad]

If the final N requires both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands, then definitely no. There are signs of the 5Ghz band being a requirement, but so far nothing's confirmed.

However, units bought before Feb 2008 qualify for a hardware exchange in the event of the standard ratification requiring a hardware change. Those after, tough luck. =:p

Hi all,

I'm currently planning to switch out my WRT54G for Dir-655 due to the fact that WRT54G isn't stable and keeps DC-ing -_-

I would like to know, if one has means through Starhub's reward system, is it the best alternative from paying full cash to get the router? Currently in the market from what I read and see in some pricelists, the price for the router is still >$200 or probably just below $200.

Do advise, I'm currently not on Ultimate, just Premium.

I also changing from WRT54G to DIR-655, but if you can wait, wait till 12th March, there is an IT Show there, prices should be the same judging from Sitex 2008 but it has some promotions like limited to 30 people for a special price if not it lets you get a Wireless N USB Adpater for quite cheap.

[douche]

how many devices via wireless can this support?
just got this hoping for a definite improvement over wireless g... but seems like i have more problems than before...
sometimes i can get internet via wired but not wireless... settings change require router reboot...
sometimes no internet connection at all...

fustrating

[douche]

oh btw, for N adapter, get belkin... $76 nia... cheapest adapter at simlim

[parn09]

hmm...is belkin adapter good?

anyone can recommend a wireless n adapter to go with dir-655?

you must have forgotton to update the drivers...
I always use DWA-140 with Ralink RT2870 and other makes to do testing. Generally can hit 100+mbit/s

update drivers? I did everything i can even with updates not only from RALINK oso from DLINK itself. its simply cmi.

1st time to dlink center - changed due to slow transfer rate 100-900kb/s only.
2nd time to dlink center - intermittent connection
3rd time to dlink center - intermittent connection

its connected at 300mbps - my connection is as below...

DIR-655 > DNS323
> wireless to DWA-140(connected at 300mbps) - tsf rate is only like 2-5MB/s
> intel wireless N 5100(connected at 150mbps) - tsf rate is between 5-9MB/s

I've tried any and every possible issue even with my router settings.. still its transferring at a speed where i can barely accept.

Any more effective solutions ?

[liangtam]

use the latest driver from ralink website.
dir655 f/w must be 1.11 above with no or only wpa2 encryption.

[MarineX]

im using right now. with DIR-655 F/W at 1.21. I've tried from 1.11 to 1.12 to 1.13 to 1.21 i believes the problem doesnt lies with the router and yes, i am on WPA 2 encryption only.

[liangtam]

any chances ur usb controller having problems itself? its not unusual whether if ur pc is diy or branded actually. u can use some ext usb mechanical hdd drive to do power draw vs transfer rate as a comparison. of course, the drive should not have 2 usb head to half the total power draw and external Vcc in.

btw, 7-9MB/s is unrealistic, if not impossible to really hit. Afterall, the intel does not accept the secondary channel for its draft product.

well, that's what i have for my intel. erm, unlikely is the usb controller having an issue. i have tried it on 4 of the computers i have at home. all posting the same result from the adapter. And 5-9mb/s for both of my intel(2 x Centrino2 notebook) is a result based on my FTP send from dns-323 or thru vista.

[parn09]

I've just bought the wireless adapter DWA-556 yesterday.
However to my horror , the drivers on the disc/dlink website for Vista 64 are faulty. However , I've managed to find the chipset drivers for the adapter and install on vista successfully.

Then, i've managed to connect to my router , but not the internet. Somehow , when i do /ipconfig on command prompt , the wireless network connection doesn't show up at all!.

And the dlink technical support ppl are rather poor. All they did was give me links to download drivers , which i could not install at all.

[liangtam]

Hmm, it is quite rare for people to buy internal wifi adapters due to the disadvantage.
Anyway, the wireless adapter must be enabled first, else your os may be corrupted

[cdo_saturday]

yea, i think my $139 fly liao.
sigh. should have bought a wifi usb adapter instead.

p.s. even my laoya netgear adapter installs on vista 64 w/o problems -_-

I'm using the DWA-556 on Vista Ent x64. SP1. No issue.
Try use the offical driver from D-Link UK as singapore ones is quite outdated.

ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/wireless/dwa-556/

The version I'm using now, ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/wireless/dwa-556/DWA-556-2.00b08.zip

[parn09]

hmm..ya they did give me this link too..but the drivers refuse to install.
is it possible that my whole vista networking stack is corrupted?

its very weird that my wireless network connection appears in windows but not when i do /ipconfig.

May i know how did you install?

For me, i extract the files into a directory, start device manager, select that adapater and open its properties, update driver from there.

[parn09]

I've also installed through the device manager.
Anyway , i've finally got it working. Did a system restore and it works fine.

However i couldn't get the driver to install from the link given -> the ftp one.
Had to install it from the latest Atheros generic drivers for DWA-556.

hi guys, just got a 655 to replace my aging wrt54g. direct connection has been great, never felt anything like this on my 54g, however, my wireless connections are all kaput. since it was working fine on the 54g, i can only assume it's a setting problem on my 655. need some pros help :) please bare with me since im quite a network noob.

current setting
MOL modem -> 655 -> direct PC1
-> wireless to PC2 (dlink USB wireless adaptor)
-> wireless to laptop

- PC1 is on static ip, doing some port forwarding. wireless on laptop is flaky, often disconnecting or not connected at all. PC2 stability is much worse.

here's the list of things i've tried to far (or observed) to solve the disconnecting issue

- i tried changing the channels for the 655. tired 11,7,6,3 then 1. it may work for one day, then back to the same problem on the next. cant tell if the channel is at fault here

- was on WPA2 and WPA, switched to WPA only

- to take only wireless b and g connections

- set static IPs for PC2 and laptop. (however i've read static ip is of no use if 655 is on DHCP server)

- QOS disabled

- WISH just disabled (does QOS and WISH help?)

- wireless adaptor showing good signal strength

- my ipod touch seems to be doing fine

another thing i've noted is that the even when the taskbar shows the fail icon, windows wireless utility actually shows that im connected to the network. i tried reconnecting and it'd show that it's acquiring a new network address then it just stops and the taskbar shows the fail icon again. rinse and repeat

im almost pulling my hair off trying to solve the wireless thinggy. almost 3 nights of up to 2am tweaking. please help :) and thanks in advance!

extremely vague.

If your ipod touch is doing fine then wouldnt the problem lies with the computer?

Anyway with set static IPs for PC2 and laptop. (however i've read static ip is of no use if 655 is on DHCP server) - this is wrong. where did you attempt your static IP at? From TCP/IP of the respective PC or via the Router itself?

Would recommend doing it from the Router itself. Disable auto channel scan for your case and test it out with channel 11. since you have configured to WPA, use the following cipher: TKIP and AES.

head to advanced > advanced wireless > uncheck everything especially extra wireless protection.

Wi-FI protected wizard > uncheck everything there.

try it and tell us the results. thanks :)

[kotori]

=:p sorry! i thought i was helping by listing as much as i could, guess i didnt. anyway, my ipod touch, PC2 and laptop were all working fine when it was on the wrt54g, it's just that the PC2 and laptop having wireless problems now.

what i've done so far: i'm on WPA with TKIP and AES cipher. i've disabled auto channel scan and i'm on channel 11 now. done the unchecks bro MarineX recommended.

where did you attempt your static IP at? From TCP/IP of the respective PC or via the Router itself?
i entered it in both TCP/IP of the PC2 and in the DHCP Reservations List of the router. noob question but DHCP Reservation List = Static IP list? will try setting it from the router ONLY. gonna empty the TCP/IP settings in the PC2

and my disconnection problems. with pictures (taken from PC2)

it's takes very long to acquire the network address and when it does get done, it shows the limited connectivity thingy. cannot access to any webpages.

You have a copy of netstumbler, at the minimum u could show us which channel is crowded right? although a poll reviews which channel is less crowded, you must know any form of inteference will not show up, this includes but not limited to, some cordless phone, bluetooth, microwave

[kotori]

yeah, i've tried using netstumbler when i first ran into problems thinking it might be channel overcrowding, but doesnt seem like it

speaking of wireless, PC2 is sitting in front of a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse. house has one cordless phone. funny thing is, the laptop, which my sis is currently using now, seems to be much much more stable tonight. if it helps, the laptop is running on vista and is sitting right in front of PC2.

do i need to reinstall drivers for the router or the wireless usb adaptor or both?

sorry, but erm.. what exactly am i looking for in the ralink site? >.< sry noob here

Hi all

Presently, I'm using the current BB: Pacnet Cable -> Motorola Cable -> DIR-655 -> 1 x desktop + 1 x notebook + 1 x DNS 323.

Going to switch to Singnet 8mbps this friday, please advise what should I do??

1) Use the given 2701 HGV(pass-through) -> DIR-655 -> ... OR

2) recommend a good and compatible ADSL modem -> DIR-655

[chaicka]

kotori,

ur clients all using Windows Wireless Configuration? For me, clients perform not as good but once switch to use wireless adapter's included config tool, it behaves and performs better.

[kotori]

thanks for all the help so far :)
updates:

changed it earlier in the evening when i got back from work, PC2 still having the same problem. logs keep showing the same auth deauth issue.

ur clients all using Windows Wireless Configuration?
yes, both the vista laptop and PC2 using windows wireless config. i will delete and reinstall the dlink usb adaptor driver and wireless utility program. will post updates again.

AND ZOMG
just as im outside trying out what chaicka recommend, i just felt i should try switching the usb port, and omfg.. it's working! will monitor the connection.. but so far 1st stable internet connection since getting the 655 last monday. damn my noobness la! many thanks again for all the help =:p

Hi, I have received the ST536v6 modem from Singnet for my new 8mbps plan.

Tried to linkup to my DIR 655 but failed. It showed connected but somehow I just cant seem to access the internet.

I have also set the ST536 to bridge mode according to Divonex's instructions.

Would appreciate greatly if any help is given!!

connected = yr devices is connected to the router. that doesn't implies that you are being connected to your modem/internet.

reconnect mode: on demand
username: username@singnet

UDP Endpoint Filtering: Address Restricted
TCP Endpoint Filtering: Port And Address Restricted

not sure if e above will work or not. worth a try. As i did the above for my friend instead. :)

[liangtam]

dont use 1.21.
Try 1.11 instead.

[mobycane]

MarineX: Tried that... still the same

Liangtam: Downgraded to 1.11, but still the same ...

I removed the Dlink 655 and connect the ST536v6 directly to my desktop but it seems I can't access the internet too! arghh......

I have already changed the 'bridge mode' to the "Basic - Routed PPP" mode under the ST536, is this correct?

HI guys i just bought this router to go with my sb6100 starhub motorola . Is there any settings i need to configure to obtain the maximum speed possible ?

[liangtam]

turn off QoS

[phoby]

turn off QoS

Is this to me ?

[liangtam]

of cos
*10 char*

[phoby]

Can you explain to me what does the qoS does ? is there anymore settings that i should do ?

Btw how do i check if my onboard lan support gigalan ? Lost my mobo book and box. Possible to check through device manager ?

[mong736]

Upz for help, greatly appreciated!


proxy server disabled???

[wohouboy]

turn off QoS

wah bro will this really help? what will it benefit? LAN transfers also? I've been running QoS since i got the router nearly 2 years ago, thought the speed berri goot liao :P

[liangtam]

Device manager can see nic properties. MOL ult upstream not specific, hence hard to hit max/burst rate if running qos

[phoby]

i mean where to look for and what it will states if its running on gigalan ?

[silverstone]

i mean where to look for and what it will states if its running on gigalan ?

if u r looking at device manager, it will state something like "realtek bla bla bla PCIe gigabit ethernet controller" .

[phoby]

mine is nvidia nforce networking controller

btw on turning off the qos i got some questions

Under the Qos tab heres some option

WAN TRAFFIC SHAPPING

Enable Traffic Shapping
Automatic upload Speed

All checked

Qos engine setup
Enable Qos Engine
Automatic Classification
Dynamic Fragmentation

All checked

So which do option do i uncheck and the measured uplink speed is 6843kbps do i need to manually change it ?

[lamesensei]

just untick enable traffic shapping and save then its off le

[wohouboy]

just untick enable traffic shapping and save then its off le

so it's really better without the QoS??

[richneo]

so it's really better without the QoS??
not true...

its just that if u set ur qos upstream speed low, ur download speed will be greatly impacted

especially so if u set the qos to auto detect ur upload.. knowing starhub's inconsistency in the advertised upload and download, the auto uplink speed might be wrongly detected and will affect your overall internet speed

Automatic Uplink Speed :

Measured Uplink Speed : Not Estimated

[phoby]

mine is nvidia nforce networking controller

From mobo msi7260 does it support gigalan ?

[chercm]

any one knows whether is there any offers in this pc show ?

[MarineX]

any one knows whether is there any offers in this pc show ?

will have, but not released yet.

[RSKeisuke]

i'm presently using dlink DIR-300 with my MOL express connection. will changing my router to DIR-655 make any improvement to my wireless connection?

[phuque99]

you compare your wireless speed spec for both, divide the numbers with two for both, that's your improvement bah, assuming you also get wireless N compatible adapter.

No need for software.. Just point Safari to the router IP and configure from within.

The router software discs are usually to be thrown away. ;) The exception is the AEBS since there's no web-based configuration tool for that.

Thanks for the reply.
Managed to set-up the router smoothly...

That's a decent price, considering most of us paid anything from $199-229 for that router.

As for the desktop, I personally prefer a USB dongle cos it's more reusable, but that means you have to sacrifice one USB port. If you have a free port to spare, then go with the USB client.

you got disconnected because the router rebooted is it? you can observe the router when u lose connection; the router leds start to blink as though it is initializing. Can try to log a call with dlink technical support and get it rma-ed.

Yeah I also want to know if $179 is still a good buy. IMHO, it is because it's retailing ~ $199 at SLS if i'm not wrong.

[sevensomerset]

so USB client is ok for long time BTing?

negative, you need to have the correct

2. sharepoint
3. sharepoint installed to the computer(s) required.

shareport can share your printer, scanner and external storage via usb connected to dir-655/855 by installing shareport utility for every computer that intend to share the printer, scanners or harddisk

im very sure their flyer did not say it has network printer function.

K... Can share printer can oredi... I think i use the wrong term... Network printer is gt more features izzit...

[MarineX]

K... Can share printer can oredi... I think i use the wrong term... Network printer is gt more features izzit...

a network printer has got a network card of its own, thus all u nid is to connect it to a router either wireless and wired(depending on which network card it supports for the printer) and everyone will be able to see it.

Thus if you only have a USB Printer and wanted to share across network, Dlink DIR-655 allows one to achieve that by connecting your USB printer to the back of its Router's usb point and share it out substituting the required need of a ethernet/wireless capability of your printer and permits the router to do the job on its behalf of a missing network device on your printer.

intel wireless lock their wireless adaptor to 20mhz for 2.4ghz N thus limiting it to 130mbps

I've got a problem. I just recently upgraded to the Dlink xtreme N gigabit router and I can get a connection fine through wireless to my laptop, DVR and some of the wired computer. However there is one computer that I am having problems with, it is kind of an older computer but it still has a pentium 4 processor and is running XP, I don't see why this would happen if all my other computers and DVR are running fine, but hopefully you guys can help!

thanks,
shock2890

[richneo]

perhaps for a start it might be useful to state what is the problem ur old computer faced

[shock2890]

My old computer never had a problem connecting through my old router, it is when I hooked up this new router that it had a problem connecting to the internet. Like I said everything else in my house that is hooked up to the internet/cable works (other ethernet wired computers, wireless laptop and DVR). I just don't understand why the switch of routers would make my other computer not able to accsess the internet.

thanks,
shock2890

[liangtam]

Tried another cable?
How about changing the network card of that PC?

Well, since your above description could not explain where the problem lies, then the above 2 suggestion is in basic form that you could try out first.

[shock2890]

Alright well I don't think my network card is bad because it worked just this morning before I switched routers and changing cables doesn't work either. I know the problem lies in the machine itself because everything else around the machine works. AND once it is connect to the internet, it says that it is connected but I have no internet accsess... hope that narrows it down some!

Thanks,
shock2890

[liangtam]

Oh, like this. Then it is either your OS problem, your TCP/IP stack, Winsock, application problem etc. Else this can also be due to, virus, trojan/botnet etc.

Another possibilities is due to your TCP/IP setting, or the NIC somehow does not want to work at gigabit rate(yesteryear gb nic has alot problem)

[shock2890]

I will run a virus scan to see if that is the problem, if not how would I change my TCP/IP setting and what do I need to change them to? AND what exactly is the TCP/IP stack and Winsock?

[krazyman]

Run ipconfig /all on this old PC and also on a working PC and post details here. Could it be the 2 routers are on different subnet and you've static IP on the old PC?

[IDZetc]

I will run a virus scan to see if that is the problem, if not how would I change my TCP/IP setting and what do I need to change them to? AND what exactly is the TCP/IP stack and Winsock?
have you tried switching the connection to other port on ur router?

[tuanbf]

make sure your old computer is using DHCP setting to acquire the IP automatically. There might be a case that your old computer is using static IP, so it can't get through the new router.

[WhiteFox]

Using the Shareport utility, I can plug in a USB drive into the router and access it's content through LAN?

then maybe i think the problem lies with your house appliances not the router issue. how can 2 of the same product where people did not complain about such issue before and it happens twice in a row to urs?

the next time u changed it do try a different power socket and see if the same thing occurs or not.

[iCuteCube]

wah..then u must be very unlucky. My set running 24/7 didn't switch off no problem leh..

wah so jialat, sorry bro, but I will also say you really sway?
or can I say your house so special that without a surge protector and network protector any router you use also easy to spoil?

By the way belkin is selling surge + network protector :)

2 of my friends running 655 24/7 also no problem, pretty stable router, but the gigabit performance is a turn off, not really that fast.. but in terms of basic router function should not have a problem, you gonna check what is faulty? The power adapter? or the router? or hardware? or what problem?

gigabit performance also depends on the hardware of the clients that are connected to it.
anyway, what's the performance on yours like?

[xxhellinvaderxx]

I thought gigabit performance have to depends on how fast your hdd can go?

[richneo]

i dont see any issues with gigabit performance for DIR-655 which can render user experience "turn off"

DIR-655 performs close to 1000 mbps performance

[sigh]

How to know the throughput? So far I can barely hit 20MB/s 16-18MB/s is the norm. While is it faster than 100mbps, it is not exactly near 1Gbps.

What is the best way to test? 2 Computers?

[danxiaogui86]

The speed between computer(wired) to computer(wireless) cannot get u 1gbps. It depend on the medium and the file u send.

[madgoh]

The change log mention that :

Does it mean that we cannot use the 3G USB stick to connect to internet?

[misato]

Strongly suggest not to flash this version of the firmware as 802.11b support is removed.
This means alot of legacy device that uses 802.11b like PSP, NDS, older PDA will not able to connect to this router.

[Computron]

wah..then u must be very unlucky. My set running 24/7 didn't switch off no problem leh..

yea, my dir-655 running 24/7 . no issues for 6 months...

[Kiwi8]

I am toying with the idea of fully redeeming this router from my StarHub rewards points. Worth it?

[richneo]

wah full redemption of 10125 points?

4100 points can redeem 1 month of mol free

more worth it to redeem 2 months of mol ult free with 8200 points i feel

[liangtam]

10125 points!? :eek:
kiwi zehzeh so lich~ :o

[Vulpix]

Final 1.31 firmware is out, with shareport 1.10. Works great, and Shareport is finally stable when sharing with some printers.

[richneo]

warning....

for those who wants to use 3G with dir-655 do not flash to 1.31 for the time being

1.31us removed 3G support

wait for other version before flashing

why would they wants to remove that feature?

[richneo]

why would they wants to remove that feature?
because the new firmware uses new kernel as they say which prevent it from downgrading to older kernel

Just bought the DLink DIR 655. Couldn't connect to internet on my 3nos. mac. No problem at all with my 2 PC. Tried manual setting on ethernet, airport then switched to DHCP but none of the setup works. Called their tech support 3 times and each time was told somebody will call me but never did. Called at 1840h today, now already 2226h and still no call from them. Note that my first call in the early afternoon, someone tried to guide me through the very same setup that I had already tried myself.

What is the point of a so called great product if their tech support is so screwy. I am going back to the shop to exchange for either a Linksys or Belkin router. Preferably Linksys as I had gone through 3 nos. of their products and had called Linksys tech support 3 times and got great guidance and friendly service from them. The tech even gave me a power adapter FOC when I went down to their office with my defective one even though it is out of warranty. (it was a EOL product).

Really really regretted getting the DLink but it was cheap at that time. ($169). Note that today is my fourth unhappy encounter with this screwy and unhelpful Dlink tech support. Should have learnt my lesson. :mad:

[dirtysock]

If my main usage is BT, gaming on pc, laptop, ps3 and online streaming; would this be a good router to get? :o

hmm.. i dont have such issues... well yes - linksys might be great in their service but i don't really think they devices meet the mark after giving them so many chances..

back-to-back it still depends on which aspect you are really looking out for...

for your MAC - if you are using wireless.. kindly try it using WPA/WPA2 instead of WEP.

[Godzila]

hi gurus ,

can i ask if its possible to connect/access an IP camera via internet and a DNS as a server to a website at the same time on this router. would like some help in this area as to how its done . thanks in advance

yes it can be done - easiest method make use of the DDNS features in the router itself.

Just bought this unit yesterday. Hardware version is A4, firmware is 1.21WW.

Anyone know the difference between hardware A4 and A3?

One thing is I noticed that when I connect the Lan cable to my PC's built in Gbit network port, only shows 100mbps. Maybe should change the lan cable and try again.

TIA.

Figure 3 shows the A4 version board. The radio has been integrated into the main board and uses a more recent Atheros chipset consisting of and Atheros AR9160 BB/MAC and AR9103 2.4 GHz 3x3 MIMO radio. I removed the ceramic heatsink pads and confirmed that the Ubicom IP5160U was still used as the router SoC. Lifting the pad on the larger device, however, showed that a Realtek RTL8366SR Gigabit switch was now used instead of the Vitesse device.

eh... i would advise you to use ur router DDNS instead and allow you camera to ride on top of it - instead of using the DDNS on the camera.

the DDNS on the router will allow the remote viewing of the camera w/o an issue as long as you get your ports correct...

eg.


camera port number is 80


ddns at router is abc.ddns.com

thus to remote view ur camera = abc.ddns.com:80

and any other further remote peripherals can be set with accordance to the corresponding port address...

and take note.. no duplicate of the same port number or it might have conflicts.



DDNS if you config it on both the router and camera - 1 will be automatically log out. Thus it defeats the purpose.

[MarineX]

yeah ive been using this since jun 07.. same usage as u too - xbox gaming, 1 desktop, 3 laptops, all on wireless.. works great

hahas.. my wireless doesnt work too great even when its beside each other.

Range was good... but speed not so.

[cstanhwz]

Ermm...sorry if this had been asked before, tried to search but did not get the answers.

Which wireless n PCI/PCIe adaptor (that can be purchased in S'pore) is best match with the DIR-655?

In terms of stability and performamce?

TIA.

[liangtam]

Internal wifi client are not recommended, since its behind the chassis.

[cstanhwz]

Hi liangtam, thanks for the feedback.

I generally prefer internal PCI/PCIe adaptor.

Using one g model now with an external antenna with cable that connect to the g adaptor.

Belkin has one model that has the same feature http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=273535 . But not sure if the Belkin is good with the DIR-655.

Or should I get the Dlink DWA-556.

Any users of DIR-655, if you have any experience with these model please comment

TIA.

Hi Gods of Wireless Networking,

I seek your help in this matter of greatest importance. I am but a simple noob and will require ur help in resolving my network problem, since I have upgraded my home network to be completely wireless N but am still having problems.

Got a DIR-655 and a DWA-556 for my desktop, but the problem now is when I check thru my router, it says that my desktop connects to the router with an 11g connection. When I change the settings on the router to broadcast only in N mode, the DWA-556 set does not allow me to connect to the network! Windows comes up with the lame excuse that my hardware isn't able to connect to an N network, when I got the DWA-556 fixed in there. My driver version is updated to 7.6.1.204 for the DWA-556, but only 1.11SH for the DIR-655.

Any help would be appreciated to help push my connection to Wireless n!

try setting ur security for your Wireless to wpa, wpa2 or both in your router and connect using the new password and authentication type. - wireless N only works w that.

that's e best i can aid with given that the amount of configurations isnt detailed.

[Angelztearx]

It's enough, managed to solve the problem already, partially due to your solution and I think I juz din patch the router firmware. Thanks marinex.

Can the 655 support 5 computers at once without weak signal problems?

4 room flat :P

any router can be done BUT - it depends on the location of where you are about to place it.

[siao_ahchun]

But currently I'm using Dlink DI-524.

Signal strength very jialat T_T

My laptop is directly about 5 metres away from the router and I still get frequent disconnections. (wireless)

Thats why I really wanted to get a router with very strong signal :P

I over at my neighbours house also can get more than 4 bars on my laptop using G onli nei.

I guess the only way is to relocate the router for me :(

Got a DECT phone in the middle of my house.. :s22:

[DuffyX]

Hi i have doubts to clarify before getting this router.

Does the share port utility support Mac?

If i plug in a external harddisk to share, what is the transfer speed like? On par with connecting straight to computer?

Thanks in advance. :)
