The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => Routers / COVR => DIR-636L => Topic started by: royalty on January 26, 2016, 12:51:32 PM

Hello,
I have just purchased a DIR-626L router. I connected it, configured it and did a speed test:
If I connect the computer directly to my ISP modem I get 200 MB download and 6 mb upload.
If I connect the computer trough the router (by cable), the download is 50-55 mb and the upload 5-6 mb.
This is not even the biggest problem. I listen to online radio and trough the router, the stream stops at each 25-30 minutes or less.
Also, connected trough wireless, the best download is 15 mb.
Please help because I have tried everything and no result. I love the router and it's functions, but these problems really bug me.
PS: I made the last firmware update, reserved my IP's, enable dns relay, disabled qos, but didn't find the firewall settings from other posts.
Thank you, Razvan

My guess is you have a gateway, not a actual modem. What model is it?

Thank you for the quick reply. I will answer at each point.

And the most important thing is not the download speed, because 60mbps are more than enough for me. The disturbing part is that after 28-29-30 minutes, the radio streaming stops (when connected via cable also, not just wireless).
I checked without the router and it ran for 30 hours straight.
Thank you very much

If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>Double NAT (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm) and How NAT Works (http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm). Call the ISP and ask to see if the ISP modem can be bridged. To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ.

CH7465LG (https://infotomb.com/truac.pdf) wireless modem combines highspeed Internet access, local connectivity
and the security of computers on the LAN in a home or small office.
It is a gateway. You either need to talk to your ISP about putting it in bridge mode, or put the router in AP mode. See here (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=40856.0) for more info.

Any status on this? ???

Hello,
Sorry, but I was out this weekend.
I tried doing the router an AP, because I need the wireless part of the ISP modem for the lower level of the house.
I followed the procedure from your link. Now it connects to the modem with both the cables in the ethernet ports, but the download is still limited at 60 MBs.
I am now checking if the streaming still stops after 30 minutes. I will get back to you.
Thank you, Razvan

Keep us posted...

Hello,
The streaming has not stop for 740 minutes. It seems to be ok. I am still wondering why the 60 mb download limit, but I can live with it. Thank you very much for your help.
Have a nice day.

Enjoy. ;)
