Hello i have resently bought a wireless N 150 usb Dlink adapter, i have installed the sofware and have conected it to my router useing WPS (I do not know the passphrase). The adapter is working excellent but when i added the adapter, my old SSID (Dlink) got switched to Dlinkelb7. Dlinkelb7 has full bars when the old Dlink only comes up so often with one bar. Since the swtch of Dlink to Dlinkelb7 my xbox 360 adapter has a very hard time connecting to Dlink and it will not connect to Dlinkelb7 because it needs a passphrase. My router is also Dlink Model DIR-615. Please help me

What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on routers web page under status.
What region are you located?
What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?
If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems.
Double NAT (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm)
To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged.
If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ.
Some things to try:
Turn off ALL QoS (http://vonage.nmhoy.net/qos.html) or Disable Traffic Shaping (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options. Advanced/QoS or Gamefuel.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking.
Link>Wireless Installation Considerations (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48327.0)
What wireless modes are you using? Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
Try setting a manual channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear.
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto.
What wireless devices do you have connected?
Any cordless house phones?
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use InSSIDer (http://www.metageek.net/) to find out. How many?
Turn off WISH, and WPS under Advanced.
Try turning off Short GI, WLAN Partition,and Extra Wireless Protection if you have it. Under Advanced/Advanced Wireless.
Also review Gaming and Gamefuel for XBL. (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=42011.0)

Hello again, i cannot find firmware version was 3.11 but was wiped out when the apadter was installed and router was installed by someone who we did not get a disk from, however there was something installed that came with the wireless N 150 usb adapter. I am on DSL with a stand alone router. I am working with a toshiba satellite L500 laptop and there are no other wireless electronics around. Hardware version C1

FW version is Found on routers web page under status.
Try some of the suggestions.
There is newer FW for your C1 router. Lets see if some of the suggestions might help first before updating.
So if you turn off the wireless N 150 usb adapter, does the xbox connect correctly to the router? Preferred use for xbox would be to wire the xbox for gaming.

The filmware version says 3.11NA, and no it does not connect, the odd time it connects to Dlink but only for a few minutes. I had a guy over here monday to fix it and i no the connection to the internet is Excellent. But as soon as i got the adapter is has been a problem. I might need to buy a cord but i am seeing if there is anyway to fix this first.
