Title: Charter cable upgrade and DIR-605L
Post by: acrabtreegirl on May 22, 2014, 06:50:41 AM

Hi everyone - I'm new here, so I hope this topic is placed in the correct forum.

I have a DIR 605L router that was purchased in June 2013. It has worked like a charm. I also have a Charter cable modem. It, too, has worked beautifully for a long time. The current modem is a fairly recent model.

Charter converted everything to a digital signal on Monday, May 20. It has scrambled my router and now I have sporadic wireless, at best. Of course, Charter says it's not their problem. Right. I told them I'd drop the account. Now we're waiting for a technician to come out tomorrow.

I've done the usual unplug & reset routine several times, and it seems to work for a short time, but it doesn't stick.

I would greatly appreciate advice and suggestions! Thank you!

• 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 the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
• Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
• What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
• Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link> Cat6 is recommended. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6)
• Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=53008.0)

I would presume at the moment that this new ISP modem configuration could be the issue.

Did you do a factory reset on the 605L and use the set up wizard on the routers web page at 192.168.0.1 to set it up with the new modem?
