Title: Wireless restarts - A4 rev 1.32NA
Post by: Horniker on September 01, 2009, 12:03:47 PM

Well after suffering over two weeks of constant wireless restarts and really bad lag on the Xbox 360 and WoW, this morning I finally got this blasted DIR-655 working like it should be.  What was the fix, you ask?  Switching from WEP to WPA-Personal - yep, no other changes made this morning.  I had tried a good deal of the suggestions here (disable DNS forwarding, disable QoS, blah, blah, blah....) and though these seemed to slightly reduce the number of wireless restarts, they still continued.

I know that WEP is not as secure, but it seems like it is a very basic function of the router (and has worked fine for me in the past on other D-Link equipment).  Looks like the developers are too concerned with the hot new features that they let some of the basics slide.

I saw that thread too before - tried turning off the Live OneCare firewall too, just in case and no difference.  Going from WEP to WPA worked for me (for all of my wireless devices).
