D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DI-624 Wireless Router

[Vinay]

hey friends,

i need help guys...for some reason i cannot connect through internet using my new wireless router..

while installing the software and while the setup was at the ending stage it wanted to connect to the net.. and it said error occurred please contact your ISP

so ive asked them whats the trouble and so on they said everything is fine from our side and they cant help us with 3rd party softwares such as routers and so on

if anyone can give me a hand and help me fix this problem.. that will be great :D

[Vinay]

ok somehow.. ive changed the settings and upgraded new firmware and now my wireless router is working with cable

but i have a laptop that has wireless

so its not detecting.. so how do i fix that?

[Dymond]

Vinay.. are you seeing the signal from the router and its just not connecting or is not detecting the wireless at all?

[Jacx]

Not being funny...have u told the laptop to look for signals?, aka turn the wireless part of the laptop on(if u didnt have wireless it might be switched off to save power!
When u set up the router how did u set it up, private or open network?
is the router a DHCP server too, if so have u told the laptops wireless settings to look for that?

Good point.. Alot of laptops have that switch that has to be turned on to get a wireless signal.

lol wireless is turned on and its not detecting.. and i think ive set it for home Use so that comes under Private use..

and yea DHCP also...well how can i tell the laptop settings to look for it..

i was looking through in vista ultimate but its hard to figure it out..

if it was xp i would have found a way to do it my self.. but i havnt really explored vista yet ..

So to make sure Jacx and I understand, your saying the laptop is detecting the Wireless signal coming from the Router, you just can't get it on the network?

I think he is trying to wind me the fuck up.

Let me get this right.

The laptop, is it connected to the web through the router via ethernet but ur trying to set it up for wireless.

If so, ur a cock and i hate u.

[Dymond]

Well getting the wired to work is completely different than the wireless. I guess I'm just trying to understand if the problem is at the signal or at the network.. I mean he might have encryption set up and needs to put the key in at the laptop etc..

[Vinay]

well the wireless is on..but im not getting any signals from the wireless router to my intergrated wireless laptop

right now im connect with cable wire through my wireless router to my laptop...

[Dymond]

Vinay can you move the laptop around and see if you get a signal someplace else?

[Alf uckem]

he tried moving it but next door had him arrested when he tried from there master bedroom at 3 in the morning, i warned him to knock but he said it would be a nice "surprise", thats why he aint replied yet

LOL Andy.. that really did make me laugh out loud.

[Vinay]

lol.. andy


well there is an good and bad news guys

the good news is that.. ive fixed the wireless problems and now everything is working fine


but the bad news is that.. the speed is slow..

with wired im getting speed at 100 Mbps

but with wireless USB im gettin from 38 Mbps to 54 Mbps

any idea why this is happening?

[Dymond]

well 54Mbps is as fast as you'll get with wireless right now and thats usually in ideal conditions.

[Vinay]

but the router and the wireless USB is capable of going to 100 mbps.. since their max is 108 mbps

[Dymond]

You have to have the right card to get 108.. Usually its a brand and a model tied to the router.
