Not sure what was going on, that router and my Surfboard modem just did not work well together.
I have been using the Linksys N router for a little over two weeks now with not a single hickup.
I could connect to the modems webpage for about 20-30 seconds, then the connection was no longer there.
I tried multiple DNS servers, The router would not maintain communication with the modem for some reason.
I now have a new Linksys N router, which was up and running within 5 minutes.
I was able to connect to the modem through the router for about 30 seconds then connection was interupted.
2nd call to d-link with no results.
Going to RMA this and try another router.
Recieved router replacement.
Hooked everyting up, performed setup - No Internet
I can go to command screen and ping an address and it comes back good (pcakets sent=4, packets recieved =4, loss=0)
Spent 2 hours on phone with D-Link tech support, they say it is a DNS problem, call your ISP get DNS addresses and call us back.
Emailed back and forth with D-Link tech support, router would not connect no matter what we tried.
Ended up getting an RMA for the unit, going to try another one.
I am on charter-cable not dsl, thank goodness.
I have reset the modem each time I have switched the router.
I have updated the firmware in the router to the latest.
I am using a motorola surfboard modem.
Any tips on manual setup?
I am upgrading from a linksys wireless g router to a dlink dir-655 wireless n router.
The new router will not connect to the internet, if i switch back to the old router all is ok.
I have tried automatic and manual setup and nothing seems to work.
My wife tried to reboot her laptop (old T-43) it has now bee sitting for the last 45 minutes with "Preparing to configure windows Do Not Turn Off Your Computer" on the screen.
My question is what will it do if I force a shut down?
Could I possibly upgrade to a wireless N adapter like this one?

It appears to be the same interface.
I hope someone here can help me with this. I have a Sony VAIO notebook with a Intel PRO/100 network adapter that is failing. This to my understanding is a obsolete unit. Can someone tell me if there is a newer unit that will plug into the same mini pci slot and work for my notebook.
Thanks you in advance.
