Title: How to access LAN computers 600L
Post by: LAkshmiNArayana on December 16, 2014, 01:05:16 AM

I used to share files with the computers in my LAN connection. Once i started using the router i was able to use the internet but no way possible to see the lan computers or share files when using the router in "wireless router" mode, but i connection was same as before if i put router in "access point" mode and assign previously used IP address, but the problem is other devices cant connect to the router and use internet.
i have tried router mode in AP+WDS+Router but no use.
I need to use the same router for internet and file sharing on my PC and internet over Wi-fi with other devices.
Can somebody help me.

Link>Welcome! (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48135.0)

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under the router case.
• Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Router and Wired Configurations
Some things to try: - Log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1. Use IE, Opera or FF to manage the router. Besure to log into the Admin account on the router.

• Enable or Disable Use Unicasting (compatibility for some ISP DHCP Servers) and test under Setup/Internet/Manual. Disable may help with speed performance on higher speed ISP services.
• Setup DHCP (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=58017.0) reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
• Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
• If IPv6 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6) is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only under Setup/IPv6.
• Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall. Enable or Disable SPI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPI) to test.
• Enable uPnP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upnp) and Multi-cast Streaming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast) under Advanced/Networking. Disable uPnP for testing Port Forwarding (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=4235.0) rules. Enable IPv6 Multi-cast Streaming for routers that have a Media Server option. Disable IPv6 Multi-cast Streaming if IPv6 or Media Server is not being used.
• Turn off WISH (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=40459.0), and WPS under Advanced.
• WAN Port Speed set to Auto or specific speed? Some newer ISP modems support 1000Mb so manually setting to Gb speeds can be supported by the router. Advanced/Advanced Networking/WAN Port Speed
• Set current Time Zone, Date and Time. Use an NTP Server (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48695.0) feature. The DST setting is only needed in the NA region. Tools/Time.
• If you have any of these options, Try turning OFF or ON Short GI (http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-features/30969-what-do-80211ns-optional-features-mean-for-you), WLAN Partition, Extra Wireless Protection and HT 20/40 Co-existence if you have it. Also testing with HT20/40Mhz Co-existence enabled will impact results as well. I prefer to use this option OFF. Recommended settings are default. Under Advanced/Advanced Wireless.

Thanks for the reply.
I am using Dlink DIR-600L model with latest firmware v2.04, Hardware version B1 and from south India Andhra Pradesh.
All the settings you told are already tried. But No use.
I have doubt about setting router mode in WDS + AP + Router mode. If I can set my pc in access point mode and use remaining devices in router mode?? so that I get internet on all devices and internet + LAN sharing on PC.

As I said in my first post, when i connect router in Access Point mode and assign the IP address that ISP gave me, i can use the internet and see/shares files over LAN computers, but the problem is that I cant use internet through wi-fi with other devices at the same time.
