839766 2009-12-16 04:44:00 Did you check to make sure the revision was B before you installed it? Since there's A and C (which is what I use) here. Its under the upgrade firmware option that you shouldnt use Vista

WARNING: DO NOT upgrade the firmware through a wireless connection. You may damage the router. Note that you will have to reconfigure the router after upgrading.

FIRMWARE UPGRADE STEPS

- You may have two options with the new firmware:
# (A) *RECOMMENDED OPTION* WEB Interface binary (WEB) file.
# (B) Firmware upgrade utility (EXE) file. Note: this option is not suitable for Windows Vista.

And

Step 1. Download the .BIN (WEB) firmware file from the DOWNLOADS folder of the product tree. Please ensure to check the Revision of your router via the silver sticker on the bottom of the device. Ensure to download the appropriate firmware (WEB) for your Revision. NOTE: Ensure to download the .BIN (WEB) Firmware file and not the EXE. If the firmware file comes in compressed (ZIP) format, extract it and note the folder you've extracted/saved it to. To extract ZIP files you can use Windows XP or a utility from www.winzip.com.

Turns out the firmware had to be installed using XP and not Vista so the update I done corrupted the current one and left us without a connection.

Same thing happened to someone else on this forum, they tried to upgrade with Vista and couldn't, and had to recover in XP.

D-Link should put a warning on their site somewhere

839769 2009-12-16 06:58:00 yes speedy I checked to make sure it was B. It wont let you do it through wireless. Has to be ethernet. Oh Agent there is a reminder in a zip file giving you instructions on what to do, that says does not work in vista. nedkelly (9059)

839771 2009-12-16 09:49:00 Yeah original problem has been solved from what I know, it hasn't acted up much but time will tell if it is still a problem. Civic (15464)
839772 2009-12-17 04:39:00 Ok its started acting up again today on my PC but not sure about the other ones.
I will be getting a new wireless adaptor though so my PC will probably be fine after that but what about the others?
I'm going to get this www.playtech.co.nz
