Hello all,
I hope someone can help me...I just moved and connect all my components now the router WIRED connections are not working. But they were working a week ago and for the past 9 months.
I have Time Warner Cable with a Arris Cable Modem(SB6183)
What happens - Connected all up, I can use the WI-FI off the router but not the wired connected components such as IMac, PS4...
On my IMac I get a message saying : Ethernet has a self - assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet
The PS4 well doesnt connect either by trying to go thru the internet connection set up
Please help,
Thanks

- What region are you located?
- Has a Factory Reset (http://blog.dlink.com/what-is-a-reset-button-when-should-i-use-it) been performed?

- Check cable between Modem and Router and devices, swap out to be sure. Link> Cat6 is recommended. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6)
Any external network LAN switches connected as well?

So I feel silly. The connections on each end, I had not checked. So I did only because I had no other trouble shooting option and yes thats what it was...
