| 1258445 | 2012-02-10 05:22:00 | I bought a D-Link 655 router and got 3 computers up on Ethernet and one laptop on wireless so the router works. I can't get my roommates laptop on the Internet. The last router was a D-Link 524 and work for her on wireless. The new router work on Ethernet but not wireless and now it won't even work on Ethernet anymore. 3 hours with D-Link support didn't help. I told her I would take her to lunch every day her laptop is down so I just got to get this fix. However her laptop can see the network. I think it might be her adapters. Help? | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1258446 | 2012-02-10 05:30:00 | You've posted the same prob here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz). You only have to post it once. Otherwise we're going to get confused. I would read the manual for the modem/router. It sounds like you havent configured it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1258447 | 2012-02-10 08:15:00 | I'm guessing he didn't like the answers we gave in the other thread and decided to re-post it. If the new router is unresponsive to ethernet or wifi, you probably need to reset the configuration. There is a reset button on the back next to the power jack, typically. The manual: files.dlink.com.au will tell you how to use the reset button, and also how to configure the other settings. |

| 1258449 | 2012-02-10 09:36:00 | I personally think it's cheaper to take the laptop back, get a refund, and get something else. The NB6Plus4Wn is always a solid choice ;) Sounds like you've taken a liking to your roommate too ;) Edit: Google search for "dir-655 wireless" and you'll see that it suggests "dir-655 wireless drops". Looks like it's a relatively common issue to me. Take it back to the store, it's faulty and not fit for the purpose for which it was intended and you want a full refund. CGA says :) |
