Hi Guys,

I can connect to the DIR-505 when it is wired in.
However when it is unwired, in either repeater or router mode, I can see the
network dlink-xxxx but can not connect to it. The only error message I see on any device is
"DHCP lookup failed".

Harware version A1 -- firmware version 1.03
I have reset it to factory defaults.

any ideas?

Welcome!

• What region are you located?
• Are you wired or wireless connected to the router?
• Has a Factory Reset been performed?
• Was a Factory Reset performed before and after any firmware updates?
• Was the router working before any firmware updates?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
• What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
• Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values
• For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.

Is this the main host router or are you using a different main host router? If no, what Mfr model is it?

Hi FurryNutz,

I have a netgear  DGN2200v4 that is the modem router.
the 505 has been reset and has no firmware upgrades (it is 1.03).

However, regardless of the network setup, if I put the 505 in any mode
(repeater or hotspot), and power it up, I should be able to reach it by wifi
using the default network name and password, shouldn't I?

I can see it from several devices but not set up a connection.  Could this be a hardware problem?

I would review this and do a FW update to v1.06:

Get your FW update file here:

Please follow the sticky for doing the update.

Keep us posted.

Hi FurryNutz,
