• D-link Wireless Router Driver

I've been experiencing the same problems with my D-Link (DI-514) wireless router. Normally a simple unplugging/replugging of the router would do the trick but recently my aiport extreme card isn't finding my home network. I read reports of D-Link routers not agreeing with a mac setup but my system worked flawlessly for a year. The only bit of troubleshooting advice I could give would be to test out another wireless machine on your network (a friend's laptop) to see whether the issue stems from your wireless router OR your airport card. Consumer routers have been cost-reduced to the point of absurdity, the result being inconsistent performance and poor reliability. Before you sack your D-Link, try changing its default channel. You might be experiencing interference either from inside your residence or from a nearby neighbor.

A 2.4 GHz wireless phone or microwave oven is all it takes to knock a weak router off the air. Channels 1, 6, or 11 are the usual default channels for routers. Many cordless phones default to channel 1, so try a higher channel. My neighborhood is full of networks on those channels, so I've had good luck on channel 3. You might also try setting the router to transmit on 802.11'b' only. Even though 'b' is slower than 'g', it is often more reliable and you'll probably only notice the difference if you transfer large files between your wireless Macs.

Cheers Same here.I replaced it with a Linksys WRT54G and it all works like a champ EDIT: I also had the same problems with the Dlink card that they recomended for that router.

Cisco is the industry standard for business, their consumer brand is linksys.

Stick with them. Great hardware on both Linksys and Cisco.but face it, the ONLY reasom folks buy Cisco is IOS.it is the best routing/switching platform out there but you do not get IOS on a Linksys.I recomend the linux firmware on a linksys if you want to really have fun (like getting all of the features in a $500 IOS image for a Cisco desktop router), but the Linksys firmware out of the box isnt bad.

How do you go about doing this? My router claims to be transmitting now, but the 'dlink network' signal it's supposed to be putting out is nowhere to be found. I'm only able to post at the moment because I'm picking up my next door neighbor's network.

I'm only able to post at the moment because I'm picking up my next door neighbor's network. I've never used a D-Link router. However, it should have -in its Web interface- some settings for its wireless configuration. Somewhere in those settings should be one for 'wireless channel', with a range of channels from 1 to 11 (in the USA). Often it's in a drop-down menu that's easy to change. It might require restarting the router for a change to become effective.

It hasn't done it too much since i took my macbook off the network, but i'd like to add it back to the network without the loss in connectivity.

Just like Chris I would like to know about the Aiport extreme base station. Some things I'd like to know, can it share internet connection with wired pc/mac? It only has a wan link and one other link to connect to. Is this link/port for management purposes only? Can you connect to the internet through this port? If so, would it be possible to add a switch to that port to connect wired pc/macs? As per suggestion, I contacted D-link and a gentleman with a very thick accent informed me that all i needed to do when it stops transmitting is unplug it for 30 seconds, then plug it back in again.

This seems to work like a charm.every.ing day, sometimes two or three times a day. I have to say that this unit is one of the worst pieces of crap gear I've ever owned of any kind. I look forward to smashing it with a bat as soon as I replace it. Fmod sound. Any recommendations for a better unit now that more time has gone by?
