I just did this morning...to g only.  I will monitor it for a day and see what happens.

Keep us posted.

What is your ISP Service? Cable or DSL?
What ISP modem do you have? Stand alone modem or built in router?

Located in Idaho?

Check Status/Logs

The logs don't go back as far as the failure. Maybe they got wiped when I rebooted

What was the device you had connected when it failed?

At first I thought no device, but I might have had an Android phone on it.  I see another message about Android causing problems.  It is a new phone (Nexus S) and the wifi on the phone side is a bit iffy.  That was one of the reasons I updated my router and network.

I've already made some changes that I'm testing.  I'll monitor things before doing anything else.  If it fails again, I will take the Android phone off the network but leave everything else the same and see if that makes a difference.

OK,
Can you try a different WiFi Device, something non cell phone? Laptop or WiFi desktop something along those lines?

I just submitted a post because I am certain the DIR-615 is crashing when I connect my Motorola Xoom, running Android.
Does Motorola Xoom crash the DIR-615?

I would say that if you have an Android device that is crashing your router, and I have an Android device that is crashing my router, then one more and it is a confirmed problem!

After much help from this forum and three unproductive calls to D-Link support ... I gave up and bought a Linksys router.  Seems to be working fine, with an Android phone, an iPhone, an iPad, a Windows box and a Mac.  Doesn't have 8 ports though.

I just purchased a DIR-632 and am having similar issues - the router crashing about 1-2x per day; all lights stay on, wifi shuts off and ethernet stays L2 connected but drops the IP address.

I seem to be able to triggers this behavior by running a session of logmein on one of the attached computers.  I'm running the latest firmware (just upgraded) and the router is attached to a corporate network (we're just running a local subnet) - its likely 1-2 firewalls away from the public network.

Any ideas?  Otherwise I'm going to have to take it back to the retailer.

Thx.

Will let you know if this works - have been seeing crashes ~1-2x per day prior to this.

If you have lots of other WiFi in the are, could be a reason why the router is stopping or need rebooting, it cant find a open channel and maintain signal.

Also for future reference, please post in the 635 forum as it is closest in features for your 632 router.
Thank you.

Didn't fix it.  Three strikes and its out - back to the retailer; got a Linksys router that I've had good luck at home with.

[FurryNutz]

Good Luck.
