[Fwd: D-Link router DI-514 (wireless plus 4 ports)...
By Putty - usenet poster
I was whining in 24hoursupport.helpdesk, and someone referred me here.
I just bought this POS and have been trying to set it up. It won't even
work reliably as a wired router -- it keeps dropping from the WAN, or
just locking up. I plug my old Linksys router back in and power-cycle
everything and it works. I put the D-Link back, power off/on, and it
might work or might not. If it works, it won't work for very long.
When using the D-Link, I can't see local network. I've disabled
ZoneAlarm, just in case it was blocking stuff, and that didn't help.
I did get the wireless part to work intermittantly. The signal strength
is nearly 100%, but I can only connect at 1 or 2 Mbps, and then the
thruput is actually a lot slower than that. Then it locks up. Or it
won't serve DHCP addresess.
Anything I should try before I throw it away?
Is there a different brand that I should try next time?

I found to my dismay, when I was told that my just-purchased
Dlink DI 824VUP wireless-router/print-adapter was incompatible
with my late model HP laser printer, that Dlink's printer
compatibility list hasn't been updated for three years. They
also informed me that the DI 824VUP works best with parallel port
printers!! :-)

I know I should change more than one thing at once, but on my laptop I
changed a few of the settings -- I changed preamble from auto to long,
turned Tx power from auto to 100%, and changed the Tx rate from auto (it
was connecting at 11) to 5.5. Now the throughput seems normal. I
haven't run any tests yet. Stay tuned...

After updating the firmware, and not plugging any wires into the LAN,
the wireless seems to be working, but the throughput is terrible. With
just one computer on the network, and signal strength is over 80%, I'm
getting 29Kbps for image and 44Kbps for text -- that is worse than a 56K
modem. God help me when I connect a *2nd* computer to the network!
It's even that slow when I try to load pages from the DI-514 itself,
like the home page at 192.168.0.1, so I know the problem is not the WAN
configuration. WEP is disabled.
I'm going to try different channels, but other than that I don't know
what else to do.
When I switch 2 computers to use ad hoc networking, and internet
connection sharing, and use my old router, it's quite zippy. So I don't
think the problem is the wireless cards in the computers.
