Does D-Link DI624 router have a lot of issues?
It seems like a lot of people here and in Broadband Reports' D-Link forum (http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/dlink) have problems with this DI624 router. Is it me or does this router (revision A) have a lot of issues? In my personal experience, I have seen: 1) random reboots (shown in logs too; fixed most of them because of enabled KAD from eMule), 2) unable to let me in its 192.168.0.1 (happened once so far; had to reboot router), and 3) some packet losses EVEN if the signal is at 80-90% range. I only had been using it for about a week. So far, I am not impressed with it. :( Thank you in advance. :) -- "What reason, like the careful ant, draws laboriously together, the wind of accident sometimes collects in a moment." --Friedrich von Schiller /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Ant @ The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.ma.cx | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net \ _ / Please remove ANT if replying by e-mail.( ) I got rid of mine.

Hmm... Unreliable connections sound like my issue.

problems with mine. I have version C and its performance is excellent. -- Just Me, D I also had version "C" but couldn't get a signal greater than 50% across the
room (distance about 20 feet). No interfering appliances, e.g cordless phones, nearby. I live in a single residence, kind of isolated from neighbors. By the way, I wasn't using WEP or anything. Trying to link to a computer downstairs (straight line about 40 feet), signal strength no greater than 10%. Bought D-Link Range Extender, no significant improvement. Bought D-Link's high gain antenna to go with the range extender gave me an additional 5-10% strength, but ultimately not worth the cost. Since I have VOIP, putting the VOIP box behind the router just failed miserably from all the dropouts. I wound up putting it in front of the router just to have reliable phone connections but finally got rid of it in favor of the Pre-N. I gotta say, for me, the Pre-N is a dream! Just my experience.

But the tiny manuals for both do not address security issues and settings at all. Since I am new to wireless can you tell me the steps to take now. Otherwise, The system works great and range is also great. Signal strengths 100%.
