I changed my 615 to WPA2 and that helped. Now I can connect to the 505 and I get a correct IP address, but it will not forward any packets.

I can access the 505s local admin pages but I can not even access the 615s local admin pages.

I did not need to do anything with my router, which was already using WPA2.  Have you tried hotspot mode instead?  I prefer this to Repeater and it allows you to specify a different SSID which might help you track down any problems.

I did try hotspot, with a different ssid, also, but still could get no routing. Only access to admin pages on the 505.
I tried the reset button several times, and often had problems accessing the 505 through a cable. It did not want to give me an IP.

Is there more 'levels' of reset? (Power, Reset button, .....)

The only reset is to insert a paperclip or pin into the reset hole, while the DIR-505 is plugged in, and hold it until the light starts flashing red.

If you can get access to the admin pages, my guess is that the problem is on your router somewhere. Does your router show the DIR-505 getting an IP and being associated when in hotspot mode?  My guess is that repeater mode would not show anything.

I generally prefer to uncheck the box "Use the same Wi-Fi Network Name for the Extended Network if I am at a hotel or other place where others I don't know might want to connect to the SSID.  If it's just in my home, then I'll leave the box checked.  With it unchecked you get to specify a different SSID and password.

Also, note that the DIR-505 will not accept connections for 2-3 minutes after the LED turns green. Be patient.  If your device tells you that it can't join the network, wait a minute and try again.
Where is this option?  Which screen/tab?

I have only setup one other repeater and it was nice to add a label of "_Extd" or similar to the current household SSID so I knew which one I was connected to.

The wizard does not provide this option.  You would have to go into the full admin page and do it. See page 106 of the manual (PDF download from this page.

Like DRHamp I cannot obtain an IP adress from the DIR-505 when connecting in Repeater-mode! I try to connect using both Android 4.0.x and Windows 7 64bit.

Works fine in Hotspot-mode though. Firmware 1.0.3.

To me this seems like a serious bug in the DIR-505. I bought this primarily to use it as a repeater, and it just doesn't work.

Can some of you D-Link people please step forward and comment on this!?

UPDATE: Gotta tell you. After multiple 505 resets, reboots and disable/enable of Wifi on the computer, and God knows what, the computer finally connected to the 505 and I managed to run the wizard and set things up. It finally works...

I am pretty sure nobody from D-Link responds in these forums.

I have been able to set up my 505 . I can see the SSID, and get an IP address,and see it with the shareport app and even see the storage.I can also get to the log in admin page. What I can't do it get to the internet.

All of my web pages either give me a 404 or take me back to the admin page.

Any one have any suggestions?

??

Thanks

Jay

Jay, which mode are you using?  How have you specified that the DIR-505 connects to your home network?  Do you use MAC filtering on your router?
