Reset problem with DLink DI-514 router?

I am having exactly the same problem with my Dlink DI514, I have to
unplug it for about a minute or so for it to start sending wireless
again. I have not done anything to the firmware or modified it in any
way. Just seems to drop the wireless connection and can't get a signal
to show on any computers on the network even if I put my laptop next
to the antenna. Guess I will check out D-link website see if there is
any info on this problem. If not I guess it's an RMA back to the
dealer.

I have a Dlink 514 and have no problems whatsoever. I have never
turned it off in about a month now. It's connected to Comcast cable
thru their Surfboard modem.

As a note, when the tech came out to set up my modem, it was dead
right out of the box. He had to get another one.



>> turn it back on which is a real pain.

That's not normal. I would contact D-Link.

The wired desktop computer will get back on the internet pretty quick but
what I mean about the wireless is the wireless device shows no signal from
the router unless I power it off for 30 seconds or so and then power it back
on. The problem is the router is not sending a signal until I power it off
and back on. I have the latest firmware downloaded and installed. I only
have one computer wired to the router and I only have one wireless device
and it does not receive a signal after a start up unless I power it off and
turn it back on which is a real pain.

Are you using the latest firmware for the router? What do you mean by
losing the WiFi signal? Is it impossible to detect the router or does the
connection to the router not allow you to access the network? How do
computers wired to the router perform; are these also off-line until the
router is reset? You wouldn't happen to be using a Motorola SurfBoard cable
modem would you? Some of these seem to have a problem where when they lose
the signal, even momentarily, they go into this scanning mode that can take
over 20 minutes (I think they try every possible channel sequentially but
comcast only uses one). If that's the case, have comcast replace the modem
even if it otherwise appears to function properly. Your cable connection
should not be experiencing daily interruptions.
