Then randomly cycles the connection on and off. I re-ran the set up CD and the problem remains the same. Re-installed my not-so-old Linksys Wireless-G broadband router and it works just fine. Other Thoughts: Searched for firmware updates and found none. from Newegg.com It never stays working long enough. Cons: It repeatedly locks up and won't permit any access. Not wired, not wireless, not to the internet. It has to be reset to factory defaults and setup again. from Newegg.com I bought a wireless router D-Link 825 three months ago. Installation was straight forward and the N-band is quite strong. from Amazon.com Handles the three networks I require in my house with incredible speed, wireless and secure. Tie it with the Motorola modem I purchased and the internet is not my problem, but my competition on the battlefield. from Amazon.com they end to be either single band or have 100M ports) or they tend to cost roughly twice at much. We first had issues connecting with all of the 802.11 g and n devices in our apartment. Between our assorted linux, windows, and apple devices, about four of six could connect to the wireless. There were all able to connect with the airport express we had been using previously and the linksys device I replaced this with. from Newegg.com I've now owned the D-Link 825 router for less than 72 hours, and I know why they call it the D-Link: because it will de-link you from all internet service. I've already spent over four hours on the phone with their customer service department. from Amazon.com I am reasonably technical; not a guru but capable of making most devices that can work, work. The D-Link 825 is horrible! I am not angry that D-Link has designed a lemon. from Amazon.com I have been operating with a wired router for a number of years and finally decided to go wireless so that my laptops and printer could could utilize their wireless capabilities on the home network. I liked the idea of the dual bands to make sure I could get the best connection/speeds with other devices as well (i-pods, PDAs, etc.). from Amazon.com It happens to me about every day or two. Power cycling the router solves the issue, but it's annoying--i.e., other brands of routers work reliably without these kinds of headaches. Other Thoughts: Search the d-link forums on this thing before you buy it. Once they get the firmware straight, it will probably be a better option. from Newegg.com My D-Link DIR-825 (B1 firmware) constantly drops my internet connection (AT&T DSL). I have gone back to using my old NetGear FWAG114 which has always worked flawlessly. from Amazon.com
