Dlink DGL 4300
i decided to start another thread to see how people have setup this router with wireless MVP. i am having nothing but problems so any help is appreciated.
My router says its connected and just cant get an IP. I cant find anything in the log that says it even tried to connect. Haupage support wasnt much help other than to try a different router. Thanks |

That combination works fine here (MVP Rev2.05). After owning several netgears routers, this D-Link compares well to quality netgear products - if you can find them these days.
itons, you could post your router config pages or send them to me. Did you try putting the MVP next to the router? |

Not wireless, but my Gamers 4100 has no issues with new or old MVPs handing out DHCP.
Here's some items to try: In the config, under DHCP server, do you have always broadcast checked? What do you have for NAT Endpoint filtering under firewall? b |

I own this router but I don't have a wireless MVP. I bought this router because at the time, it was the only router with both wireless G and gigabit support. I don't know how people can expect to get reliable performance from wireless G, especially with SageTV. Even with laptops and desktops sitting close to the wireless router, I still get weak and drop signals once a while. And its not just this router, the same problems exist in other common brand name wireless routers. I think its just too much interference from other sources, which is the common negative aspect of wireless technology. Maybe wireless N is better, but I haven't tried it yet.

If you live in an urban area, 2.4GHz is getting pretty messed up with WiFi, cordless phones, analog cameras, etc. I live in a town house and can detect six or so SSIDs but I have zero problems with disconnects running 11g connections to sage for std def. I don't have 2.4GHz cordless phones. My sage server also does a disk image via 11g every few days without problems.
I do have things arranged to have a strong signal with lots of fade margin. Router is old Linksys WRT54G v2 with DD-WRT. Sage is on a laptop with a Netgear 11g PCMCIA card. due to the crowding, folks doing streaming media should do so on 802.11a, 5.8GHz. More channels. More speed now, with 11n products coming out for 5.8GHz. I don't know how the 5.8GHz cordless phones affect things. Perhaps depends on what channels you choose. |
