Hi,

I started using D-Link DI-614+ about a month ago. It works OK except that client PCs often lose connection to the router. Not only the wireless ones, but also the wired one. With the wired one, I disable and reenable the connection from Windows and that always solved the problem. With the wireless PCs, I usually just reboot them and that mostly worked too. However, starting today, even reboot couldn't reestablish the connnection (even ping's not working). I solved the problem by going into the config page for the wireless client card and just pressed the OK button. Very strange that this worked. After I rebooted the PC, again it didn't have connection. Again I fixed it by pressing that OK button.

I wonder if anybody knows what causes the problem and how to fix it. I searched D-Link and contacted their support, but got nowhere. This is not only a big hassle, but also renders the clients PCs useless as access points for me when away from home.

Is there a setup option in the gateway/router for the length of a session? I would look there.
