Dear Furry,

Wanted to give you an update and some good news. My final 2 actions were completed in the following order:

1- Replace the Ethernet cable as you previously suggested.

2- Complete the firmware upgrade as per your instructions.

I don't which of the 2 actions did it, but I've been testing and using the router for the past 5 days with NO Dips, Drops or Disconnects.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

Marc

I used to have the same problem with my 4500.  A factory reset and upgrade to the latest firmware fixed it for me.  Although it's a pain, beats the hell out of getting disconnected in the middle of a heated match!

• 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?
• If this 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 and How NAT Works. 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.
• Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values
• For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.

If you do decide to up date, please follow this:
FW Update Process

However v1.15 FW is very solid for Rev A1 routers. I recommend that we attempt to help you configure the router better for gaming first before doing any FW udpates.

Hi theres no 192 in the Wan section the Wan ip starts with 82 and my router and modem both start with 192 the modem i have is a netgear which virgin supplied me it has a built in router but the hub has a feature where you can just make it a modem so i put my hub in modem mode well the virgin engineer did so that its just a standalone modem

[dextah]

Am i better off doing a reset then loading my saved configuration file to get my settings back it just seems abit of a hasel writing everything down and all my settings then typing them back in also when i check for the latest firmware on my router theres a little note saying some firmware upgrades may reset your router to factory default settings if this is the case does this mean i don't need to reset the router to factory default settings as the firmware update ill reset them for me

[FurryNutz]

You are actually in the UK? Be aware that this model router was not marketed in the EU region and was only an NA region router. Operation in other regions maybe problematic.

If your ok with that, and if you want to upgade, download the FW file directly from D-Links NA site.

[dextah]

Yeah am from the UK its worked fine for 6 years until a week ago whats the website for the the NA dlink site so i can get the newest firmware think iv'e already downloaded the newest firmware from the dlink website but don't know if its the NA one unless theres just the one site to get it from

[dextah]

I may try the reseting it if that does'nt work then al try the firmware update its the only two options i have to try and fix this issue where it keeps disconnecting people from the internet if any of this does'nt work then al just stick with my standard d link router or maybes buy a second hand 4500 or the new 5500

[FurryNutz]

only reason why the 4500 might disconnect would be interferences, mis-configuration or the ISP modem is not getting service correctly.
