- when i run the set up wizard for the router i select "Telkom SA" as my ISP.on the next page it asks for my ISP username and password.
my complete username is xxxxxxxxxxxxx@telkomsa.net but i can not fit it all in the box provided. i then on typed in everything before @, and go through the whole process, but at the end the same message always comes up - "a problem has occured when trying to access the internet. Please check your DSL connection and verify your Internet connection settings"
i contacted Telkom heldesk and they confirmed that the line is working.when i check the light on the router the DSL and LAN lights are on but the internet light stays off. i have rebooted the unit and reset but always the same message
please call dlink tech support at 877-453-5465. just an advise on how to handle the call when you reach dlink tech support (agent); do not agree to call back after you troubleshoot with them (they'll be giving you a case id reference# and be advising you to check your pc or call "who" and call them back to continue the troubleshooting). insist to the agent that he need to resolve the problem asap (by the way, agents are not allowed to drop the call or they'll be dead-history!). and if the agent still insisted you to call back, ask for a "senior level technician" to finish the job (escalate the problem). fyi: dlink tech support handling time to resolve a call is 15 to 18 minutes only. if you reach that 15-18 minutes (max) time the agent will think of a way for you to call back (advising you to check with your pc manufacturer, check with your ISP, call microsoft to update your software, etc... non-sense!) they need to do this in order to reach their handling time (agents need to reach 21 to 25 billable calls, and billable calls are "solution provided", "resolved", and "dropped call"). ---- believe me, i was one of them and repented.

This is a home network. The DI-624 will disconnect users at multiple times during the evening hours, not as much during the daytime. The log reads Dec/20/2008 23:51:56 DHCP lease IP 192.168.0.102 to xxxPC01 00-1c-df-59-ec-9b Dec/20/2008 23:51:50 DHCP lease IP 192.168.0.100 to xxxPC01 54-34-4c-3c-7f-04 Dec/20/2008 23:51:45 Wireless PC connected 54-34-4c-3c-7f-04 Dec/20/2008 23:51:44 DHCP Request success 192.168.2.2 Dec/20/2008 23:51:44 DHCP Request 192.168.2.2 Dec/20/2008 23:51:43 DHCP Discover Dec/20/2008 23:51:39 Wireless PC connected 00-1c-df-59-ec-9b Dec/20/2008 23:51:39 DHCP Discover Dec/20/2008 23:51:37 DHCP Discover Dec/20/2008 23:51:37 System started This may happen five to ten times during the evening and is very disruptive. Any help would be very appreciative.
