Router not working, help please!

try rebooting your cable modem by unplugging it then after 15 seconds plug it back in. let it come up, then reboot your router and wait til it comes up. If it still doesn't connect then there may be an issue with the router. I'm guessing the cable modem is OK since you were able to post here. I was going to tell you to hard wire your computer to the cable modem as well.

1. Please check your D - Link router's DHCP is enable or not.

2. Please check your computer's IP address on automatic.

3. Please check your D - Link router on mixed mode.

I have had exactly this problem and after MUCH work downloading new drivers for the Vista Pcs and updating the operating system in the DI-524 found that the 524 does not operate well with Vista. A new DI-624 integrated well with Vista, and installed with no problems. Good luck!

There is nothing on DI-524 what is Vista specific. Make sure you installed your dirivers properly. I have the same , works without problems.

your key code is the the code that you set fpr the key code di you write it down like it tells you to

I have same problem. Can not connect Di 524 to Surf 5100 Cable modem

Double check that you are connected to your router and not a neighbors router.

hey there , try this buddy remove all the cables connected except the power cable...do a hard reset upto 45 sec...wait for the power light to be solid green...connect all the cables back...still no go try swapping the ethernet cables...good luck buddy...tell me if it doesnt work.....

Hi, I have not tried it myself with DLink but with LinkSys, yes it will work. It may take a little configuration tinkering but should work. However a few notes: 1. You should only have 1 DHCP server (both have this feature); 2. You can not have 2 identical IP address; 3. I suggest you make the 524 as the gateway and the 704 as a slave; 4. In effect you will connect 1 of the LAN port of the 524 to the WAN input of the 704; 5. You have to copy the WAN settings of the 704 to the WAN settings of the 524; 6. Or if you want to retain the 704 as the gateway, disable the identical features in the 524. I suggest you treat the 524 as a client of the 704. Hope this gives you some idea and work out for you as it did with my LinkSys. Goodluck and kind regards.

Reset the DI-524 to its factory default settings and restore the other devices on your network to their default settings. You may do this by pressing the Reset button on the back of the unit. You will lose the current configuration settings. Also be sure to unplug the modem the plug it back in afterwards, a reboot of all devices on network maybe good idea also.
