Switched to 20/40 coexists and manual channel 11

Will let it go for a few days and report back

Also noticed that my ps4 and xbox 360 have TERRIBLE wifi connections. I will see if these changes help that as well

[FurryNutz]

How far away are the consoles away from the 5500? Are they using 2.4 or 5Ghz?

[junior2377]

Both 2.4 (ps4 doesn't have 5ghz) and they are about 25' away. No farther than other devices that are wireless and they are fine

[FurryNutz]

So other devices are working fine on 2.4Ghz at this distance, however the PS4 does not?

Have you tested the PS4 with ALL other devices turned completely off?

[junior2377]

Mind you I have a 50/25 connection

[FurryNutz]

I recommend testing the PS4 WiFi connection speed at about 10ft distance from the router if you can.
What are the speed results on the PS4 when hard wired to the router?

Do other wireless devices exhibit this same speed result?

One other thought I had, knowing that some mfr of game consoles install WiFi adapters and are tailored to be somewhat held to WiFi standards, however going forward, there maybe some drivers with in these game consoles that may not be quiet standardized thus maybe introducing some problems between the WiFi adapter on the console and the main host routers WiFi. We've seen this before on Xbox 360 Slims.
One thing you could do as a test if you can get one, get either a 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz Wireless bridge and connect it to the 5500. Shut OFF the Wifi on the game console and hard wire the PS4 to the bridge and run some tests...This should have 2 results, good or the same I believe...

[junior2377]

The system has a 100% signal. Do you really think moving it closer will make any difference at all?

[FurryNutz]

Since we don't know how the PS4 determines signal str, we can only presume that the signal maybe good and probably is. However for troubleshooting, we should test at a closer distance to see of the speed increases or not. Signal can be good however we don't know what the actual speed the PS is connected at with the 5500 WiFi, the pipe between them could be at a low rate which would cause speed issues.

[junior2377]

Honestly there's no way to move the ps4 closer. My entertainment center is all wired in a way that I would have to take everything apart to get the ps4 out so that's out of the question.

[FurryNutz]

Any way to move the 5500 closer?

Is the PS4 sitting inside the entertainment center with other devices near by?

[FurryNutz]

any status on this sir?  Care to try some beta FW or let us help you with this router?

When I load that firmware onto my router it says it's dated 5 Dec 2013.  So have they been sitting on this update since then, or do they just not care enough to properly update the timestamp?  Either way, I am seriously unimpressed with DLink's lazy attitude toward supporting this expensive router.  I think this will be my last piece of DLink gear.

[junior2377]

It's not in a closed entertainment center. It's an open shelf type center. If it was just the ps4 I could see your argument but my old Xbox 360 is doing the same thing on wireless. I'm off tomorrow so I'm going to also try my xbox one on wireless to see if that does it also.


But there is really no way to move either the game consoles or the 5500. I didn't have these issues with the 4500 so it's not really a stretch to say it's the router

[FurryNutz]

Well I've ran my xbox 360 on WiFi and didn't see any issues. Also ran a DIR-865L in bridge mode connected to the 5500 and the 360 connected to the bridge and didn't see any issues, however it was on  AC mode and 1 room away at about 15 feet with one wall in the way.

Only issues I saw was a DIR-868L in bridge mode doesn't work well when connected to the 5500 in AC mode and thats a 868L issue and not a 5500 issue.

From what I know, there is some issues between Sony and D-Link thus there maybe problems with Sony products. D-Link is working to solve the issues with Sony and are aware of things here.

I'll I can recommend is that maybe running a direct LAN wired connection from the PS4 to the 5500 router or place a bridge on the PS4 in place of using the PS4s WiFi,  and connect the bridge to the 5500. You can connect the xbox as well.

Please be patient while D-Link gets this resolved...

[FurryNutz]

Any status on this? 

Does the 1.2 work with the vita?

This is a deal-breaker for me I'm stuck 3 revisions behind because they changed something and caused the ps vita to crash the entire network any time it's connected.

Given the rate at which firmware updates are released, if at all, it'll be until next year when we get an update that fixes the heartbleed bug.
