those are acceptable packet losses. If you can't see your SSID means you might have disabled the broadcast of it. Other than this it should show up unless one of your devices does not support G or N mode. IF it supports N, then going to G mode only, the device should still see it and be backwards compatible.
Those are good stats man. You'll be fine. Just Keep to 2.4Ghz. Unless your in line of sight of the router or one wall away, 5Ghz isn't good since it's susceptible to objects at such a high frequency. Just the nature of the beast, other OEMs have the same prob. ;)
What is the LAN Center? How are you trying to connect them? Wired or Wireless? There are known issues with Wii connecting to various routers. Others have been able to get theres working:Its been awhile since I was last here I thought we already discussed this O_o... anyway...

Have you researched connection and setup process for Wii? From what I understand, there isn't going to be another FW build for a while. How is your network set up? DSL or cable?
I presume that ComCast is Cable and not DSL? Again, do you know if your ISP modem has an internal router built in?Comcast is Cable (Fiber at the Line and Coax as it comes into the building)
How about trying G mode only at 2.4GHz with out any password as a test? Will they connect then? I'm wondering if there is a problem on the mode they are using or if there is a Security mode problem. Let us know what happens with out any security set for a test.
Ya, I'm noticing recently that cable modems are coming with internal routers. Yours says "Gateway" and thats it's own router. Some of the cable modems and routers are dealing with VoIP and phone systems. If your still getting errors on the Wii, I would see if you can put the cable modem into a bridge or transparent mode if it supports it. I don't know for sure. The 4500 and Wii need to gain access to a Public IP address and not a private IP address. This setup is having to dual NAT since there is 2 routers on line and the 4500 can't route and get the Wii connected properly is my main guess.We moved up from a basement so like I said this modem/Router is new. I wasn't even here during that move do to a near death accident on my bicycle (or so they say <_<)
Can you connect the Wii to the ISP modem directly as a test and see what happens? Also what security mode are you using when your trying to get the Wii to connect? I saw something the recommends using WPA Only. This mode uses TKIP cipher. Some gaming and legacy devices work only in this mode.I have Tested it in both,
Try using single mode Wireless, G mode should suffice for testing at 2.4Ghz.
I would look up and see what the highest mode your Wii should connect to. If it needs Been the try B then.While I have been testing the B and G only modes... in both cases the Wii CAN see our
well it could be that the FW updated seemed to cause the issue however I would also think that maybe there was a problem that Dlink had to fix and possibly allowed the Wii to connect while at v1.02. Maybe something that could be incompatible that Sony is looking for specifically that Dlink doesn't support either. Unfortunately we can't get v1.02 reloaded. The lowest that these routers an go back to is v1.12. Wonder if these versions could might work for you.
So I'm still on the original firmware (1.02 or whatever) and this router has been awesome for years until a couple of weeks ago when I'm having to plug and unplug the router about once or twice a week...I'm wanting to update to the most current FW, 1.23 NA. Should I do that, or go to something like 1.15, or just keep it as is and live with plug and unplugging once or twice a week?
I'd really like this problem to go away, but I don't want to make it worse. Thanks.

What ISP service do you have? DSL or Cable?
What ISP modem do you have. Stand alone or built in router?
How are you connecting to the router? Wired or Wireless?
If Wireless, what modes are you using?
Any other Wifi routers in the area?
Any cordless house phones?
What devices are you connecting that you see this issue with?
Has anything changed over the pasted week that might effect your network?
Do we have any current news on any new firmware or beta's?I second the Motion! ;)
Nothing that I've heard about. ;)Thats too Bad ;_; they have a nice piece of Gaming Hardware, Really this is the only kind of Router I would ever want ^_^ but the lack of support by the Developers/Programmers is Sad ;_; :(
It's possible there moving on to other things man. I'm enjoying mine...nothing wrong with it. Works great here. Something wrong with yours? Can join us in the main forum and share your experiences. ;D
Such as....? what?
It seem the same as with new Motherboards and Nvidia GFX Support
they are ALL leaving so many Bugs they miss and never get fixed...
FurryNutz do you have a Nintendo Wii? what version is the Hardware and the Firmware?
and does it work Wirelessly with the DGL4500?
what version is your DGL4500?
Hardware version?
Firmware version?
Have you not been able to get your Wii to work with the 4500?
What Wireless modes did you try? All of them by chance? I think some were able to connect on B I think.I have tried in on Both b and it saw it even when G only running I have it locked to Channel 11 only...
What FW version are you using now?
I know Nintendo DS units don't support WPA however will connect WEP which I think is just goofy. WPA is better than WEP and yet they wont put it on Nintendo units for some reason. Make having DS units and other devices that use WPA harder to manage having to use 2 different security modes.
I presume they connect correctly over a wired connection? I got a buddy who has a Wii, don't think he uses it. I'll ask him if I can barrow it and do some testing.
Have you tried going back to 1.12 or 1.15 by chance?Last I checked it doesn't allow downgrades....
My Nvidia and Intel boards work well for me.
No Wii here, only Xbox and BOXEE.
3 4500's, Still have first bought one that is on loan to a buddy I play with, thats A1 with v1.23 loaded, bought a 2nd one on here, another A1. Had v1.22 but I downgraded to v1.15 just for kicks. Sold that one to another buddy I play with. Bought another 4500, A2 that came with v1.21. Haven't touched it. Working great here. ;)
