D-Link Router: The internet doesnt seem to work through my DI-604 d-link router

Wed, 26 May 2021 00:06:08 -0700

I am trying to connect two computers to the internet through the router and its not working. I had it connected in the last place I lived in so Im not sure what the problem is. Can someone please help me with this?

One of my computers has windows xp operating system. The other one is a linux operating system. I go through shaw. SB5100 surfboard cable modem. All the lights go green except the pc activity which is orange and the standby light which is not lit up.

How do I set up a PPOE or clone the computers MAC?

D-Link Router: D-Link dir615 can't connect windows devices, but android works

Wed, 26 May 2021 00:08:43 -0700

So, I’ve had a D-Link 615 for a few years now, but the wifi signal is bad in some places, so I bought another router (an Intelbras WRN150 ) and connected them via cable to expand my wifi range.

My plan is to use one of them to conenct to my ISP via PPPoE and the other one will connect to the first via cable. The problem is: no matter what configuration I use (Intelbras via cable to D-Link and D-Link to ISP or vice-versa), when i try to connect to the D-Link router (tried with two laptops and a desktop, either via cable and/or wifi), with a windows device, it doesn’t connect to the internet, while when I use my android phone (tested with at least 5 different phones), it works seamlessly. Connecting to the Intelbras router (also in both configurations and via cable or wifi) also works fine.

I tried resetting both to the factory defaults multiple times and start from scratch, but nothing seems to work.

D-Link DIR-890L: I have a new D-Link which I was told would solve all my slow internet

Fri, 15 May 2020 20:04:57 -0700

I have a new D-Link which I was told would solve all my shortcomings with speed. However, it was a waste of money… there is no improvement.

I have only one device, nothing else open, a MacMini, running 10.15, and the router is an AC1200 but it still takes 10 - 15 seconds for a link to open from an email or a browser.

I have cleared the cache, I did a utilities repair, emptied the waste, unplugged the router for a few minutes and changed the WiFi to the one other choice. Nothing changed. What else can I do?

D-Link DIR-890L: No ssid but wifi leds (2.4&5GHz) are on

Tue, 31 Mar 2020 02:01:42 -0700

I have tried every suggest option from support team but non worked. GUI works perfectly, see changes on led status but no ssid broadcast.

Hi all,

I opened this router, nothing obvious, input voltage is ok on every chip, nothing getting hot apart from main chip (but it not like red hot) so hard to say. Maybe some smd component is broken but without schematic verry hard to investigate...

D-Link DIR-890L: How are the antennae connected to the motherboard?

Fri, 31 Jan 2020 04:43:08 -0700

Hi, realize this router is a bit older but hopefully someone can help. Just purchased a used one online and one antenna is broken. Figured while I’m at it I’ll order 3 or 4 higher dbi antennae (8 or 9 dbi) replace the broken one and 2 or 3 other ones. The motherboard repair guide has been helpful but I can’t tell from the pictures if the antennae are connected to the board with IPEX connectors (if so what size?) or are those just solder points that are hot glued down (which seems very odd to me…)

Thanks in advance!

Jeff

D-Link Router: Wan Port Dead [D-link DIR 615 (h/w:X1)]

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 11:47:01 -0700

I have a D-Link Router.

Model Number: DIR 615

H/W: X1

The WAN port of this router is damaged and is not connecting. It has 4 LAN ports, but they are rarely in use. I want to convert one of the LAN ports to work as a WAN port so that I can use the internet.

I want to install a 3rd party firmware to unlock additional settings that are not provided by the D-Link firmware, as there is no option in its default firmware to switch ports configuration settings.

I have searched on the internet but I am not able to find any solutions.
