Title: Wireless Radio : Init failed
Post by: themoodypreacher on January 28, 2009, 08:59:25 AM: Okay... first time poster here...

I have a DIR655 Extreme N. I have had it for over a year and have really enjoyed it until today. I am all of a sudden getting an error "Wireless Radio: Init failed".

I changed no settings until the error popped up.

I tried upgrading the firmware ... no joy. I tried every fix I could find on the internet, no joy. Is this a hardware failure from experience or is there something obvious I am missing?

Post by: themoodypreacher on January 28, 2009, 09:19:47 AM: I have tried calling that number for the past 14 hours ... no joy again. Busy signal. >:(

Any other means of communicating with them?

So I guess the 1-2% rule does apply for Dlink.

No more karma enhancement, I' m afraid :) Can't you just put some bugs into 1.22? ;D

Post by: jd976 on January 30, 2009, 06:54:38 PM: Hi, I've been having a similar problem. Just purchased the router 3 weeks ago. It was fine for about a week or two, other than a few deauthenication disconnects a day, then last week Init failed. A power cycle would bring it back up for a few hours to maybe a day then fail again until rebooted, or just changing the wireless settings from on to off.

Here's the log from last fail.

I'm not sure if it's the router or the modem. I use satellite internet for now (wireless coming very soon :)) and its been nothing but headaches. Also in the log you'll see that the time goes way off for some reason.

ISP: Xplornet
modem: Surfbeam SM2000

Any thoughts?

It means that I should look for another brand. It happned without a reason.

How could I know for sure if it is hardware problem or just bad config.

If someone could advise me I would apreciate.

It means you should call the tech support number, tell them the error message and they will go from there. It will most likely result in an RMA for that unit as it is a Hardware failue.
