Hello.
I have problem connecting Samsung (series6) TV to DIR-600. TV wired connection does not work with DLINK DIR-600 150. Is there a work around ?
Config :
DIR 600 is working in access point mode
Check list :
Cat-6 Patch Cord - works (brand new works fine with laptop)
TV network port - works (works fine with aztech ADSL/Switch)
-
Is the TV getting any IP addressing on the networking menus on the TV?
Look on the Setup/Networking menu on the router when the TV is on and connected and do you see any IP addressing information under Dynamic DHCP clients?
Also look on the Status page on the router, Under LAN and see if you notice any IP addresses connected to a device there.
Let us know.

I am connecting the TV to the wired port.. (RJ45 JACK) with a Cat6 patch cord.
Connecting from DLINK DIR600 (one of the 4 Ethernet ports) to TV Ethernet port (RJ45 JACK)
I have tested the port on TV works fine with Aztech ADSL modem (on the Ethernet port)
I have tested the Cat6 patch cord and it works fine with a laptop.

If it works fine with your LT connected to the router and doesn't with the TV, might be something on the TV. Is the network properties for the TV enabled and ready for a connection? I might call up the TV Mfr for help if needed.
Let us know.

TV network port works fine when i connect it to the network with a aztech switch.
TV does not work when I connect it to DLINK DIR-600..
I connect the cable to Aztech switch TV works fine.. remove connection and plug the same cable to DLINK DIR-600 it does not work..
PS : I have about 15 years of experience in networking and I am a Cisco Certified.

DLINK DIR-600 is configured as "access point mode" (i have mentioned that in my first post)
When the Dlink DIR-600 is configured to be in access point mode it will act as a wireless bridge and disable any NAT, layer 3 and DHCP functions.
I have DHCP server setup on Aztech ADSL router and the DHCP server works fine. (If I plug my laptop to the same interface I am connecting the TV it works)
-
How is the DIR wired to the host router? Are you using WAN and LAN ports one the DIR?
-
setup
1) Aztech ADSL router (has 4 Ethernet Ports) connects to internet, runs DHCP server
2) DLINK DIR-600 - Configured as access point mode. DLINK DIR-600 Port 1 (Ethernet LAN port) connects to Aztech ADSL router port 1 (Ethernet LAN Port) using a CAT6 patch cord (test with a fluke cable tester)
This problem has been discussed on Samsung/CNET forums and acknowledged as many users are facing same problem.

This may help as well

Wonder if you put in a switch, non dlink switch between the TV and the 600 router, would it resolve this issue? Sounds like there is an incompatibility issue between the router and the TV here. ???
-
??? Thank your for your reply. I was under the impression that all switches and network ports are built to standard at layer 2 level..
I may have to get rid of my TV and get a something that is compatible with DIR-600

Before you get rid of the TV, I would try a switch and also I would try a different mode router as well if you can. Best Buy and Frys has good full refund policies. Would be interesting to see if a different one works or not. I have a cousin in PDX that has a 655 router connected to his TV however not sure what make and model of TV he's got. I don't think it's a Samsung. :-\ If your willing to wait, the DGL-4500 is a great router. Not sure about if it would work with your TV though. ::)

Ok I got a response from Samsung.. they said its the DLINK switch is the problem..
Looking thru it, we cannot disclose that it is really the
Samsung TV which has the issue because it has worked with your Belkin
router before but not only with your Dlink DIR-600 switch.
From our side, we will be forwarding your case to concerned teams to
check and hopefully we will get a positive response that can make your
TV detect your new Dlink router.

To reply to your question earlier.. I have tried the TV with three different types of switches and the TV works.. but it does not work with DLINK DIR-600. Which clearly means the software inside the DLINK switch is preventing it from recognizing the TV.
Can you ask DLINK for feature request where their product has a "stupid mode" which disables all their smart software and works as simple layer2 wireless bridge.. what it supposed to do in the first place.
-
Can you connect the switch to the DIR600 LAN port and then connect the TV to the external switch, does it work in this configuration?
Ok, how about a different Dlink model router as a test?
Lets gather some info from you.
What HW version is your router?
What FW version is currently loaded?
What Model is the Samsung TV?
What FW version is currently loaded? If any. Are there any updates for the TV?
-
yes if i connect a external switch through the DIR-600 the TV works
DIR-600 details :
Firmware Version:2.10 Wed 26 Jan 2011
Hardware version : BX
TV : Samsung
-
Is there a model # for the Samsung tv?
Can you find the current FW loaded on the tv too?
yes if i connect a external switch through the DIR-600 the TV works
DIR-600 details :
Firmware Version:2.10 Wed 26 Jan 2011

TV : Samsung

Any word on this info. Hope we can help on this, just need TV model and FW version it has loaded. Please let us know.
-
I dont think D-link is interested in support. I have no idea what you will do with my TV model and firmware version .. As I told you lot of people with many different TV models and firmware seems to have the same problem. What next you would want me to get their model numbers and FW versions as well ?
I bought a TP-LINK access point.. cheap and works great.
-
PS : all Samsung TVs with Internet TV have the same firmware.. It's their latest update..
-
If we don't get the details, how can Dlink help you or those that seem to have this problem? DLink needs the TV model and FW version details of your T.V. for further investigation. Please let us know.

Ok, I'll get this to DLink and see what happens. Thank you for the information.

I have the solution for this... I was dealing with a DVR and had the same issue.
The answer was in the pdf version of the user's manual.
Connect to Another Router
If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router to use as a wireless
access point and/or switch, you will have
to do the following before connecting the router to your network:
• Disable UPnPTM
• Disable DHCP
• Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN
ports on the router cannot
accept a DHCP address from your other router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
1. Plug the power into the router. Connect one of your computers to the
router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable.
Make sure your IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is
between 2 and 254). Please see the
Networking Basics section for more information. If you need to change the
settings, write down your existing settings
before making any changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to
receive an IP address automatically in
which case you will not have to do anything to your computer.
2. Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.0.1 and press Enter. When the
login window appears, set the user
name to admin and leave the password box empty. Click OK to continue.
3. Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable
UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings
to continue.
4. Click Setup and then click Network Settings. Uncheck the Enable DHCP
Server server checkbox. Click Save
Settings to continue.
5. Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask
of your network. Click Save Settings to
save your settings. Use this new IP address to access the configuration utility
of the router in the future. Close the
browser and change your computer’s IP settings back to the original values as
in Step 1.
6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer
to your network.
7. Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect
it to your other router. Do not plug
anything into the WAN port of the D-Link router.
8. You may now use the other three LAN ports to connect other Ethernet
devices and computers. To configure your
wireless network, open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to
the router. Refer to the Configuration
and Wireless Security sections for more information on setting up your
wireless network.
Regards!
