Wireless Frequency

I have a broadband wireless connection in a rural area. Uses 2.4 GHz.
I suspect the problem I'm having with my wireless router is that it
also transmits at 2.4 GHz. Anyone aware of a wireless router that
transmits at an alternate frequency?

Try changing the "Channel" you use for WiFi.

Check to see if anyone is using wireless telephone / base stations.
They might be imposing on your 802.11b/g frequencies.

If you really need a different frequency band, you can use 802.11a
equipment that uses the 5ghz range. That will likely require a change
of wireless router and probably a different wireless NIC. 802.11a has
about 20% - 30% less range than 802.11b/g.

Go to the cisco.com for more info.

Appreciated the answers to date, but I should have been more specific
in my problem. The LAN wireless side of things works well; notebook
picks up signal well enough for all uses (surprising distance!). But
switching from a Dlink DI-804HV (wired), that worked well with my
broadband inet connection, and using default settings for each router,
the newer DI-625 does not allow connection with the broadband ISP
network. Not at the immediate workstation nor through the mobile
laptop. Dlink status indicates that connection is good (i.e. no
faulty hardware connections) but continual "establishing connnection"
with no connection ever achieved. If I switch the routers out
mid-stream of this problem, the wired router connects propertly within
seconds.

So tapped out at this end trying every conceivable variation in
settings and even substituting various cables. Any suggestions
appreciated. I'm wondering if buried in the settings of this
wireless, there is one very signficant difference in default settings
from that of the older wired router? I'm sticking to the idea that
there is nothing wrong with this router, only in something not being
set up properly. FYI, my ISP requires that the MAC address of the
computer be cloned to each and every router used (as oppposed to them
having logs of each and every MAC address/hardware item used). That
was done first and foremost, but the problem persists.

Your question --

Using the default settings for the Dlink DI-625 router, it does not
allow connection with the
broadband ISP network.

IOW, You cannot connect to the internet? Not at the immediate
workstation nor through the mobile laptop.

I could not find in a search on the DLINK website the product DI-625;
a google search gives a DI-624, Wireless (802.11g) High-Speed 108Mbps
Broadband Router, is this the unit you have? If you have a 625 what
country are you in? it may listed elsewhere?

Typically connecting to the ISP troubleshooting varies, but your best
bet is to look at the logs and see where in the connection its
failing. Do you have a cable modem ? Is it just a modem, can it be the
type with router? What service are you with?

Sorry, not DI-625 . . . . DIR-625.

No modem, a wireless 2.4GHz radio-based system . . . . basically a
2-way radio. Tranzeo brand system.

Fiddling today as well, no solution in sight. Tried to get through to
Dlink but long delays. Will continue on with that as I'd like to ID
just what would be the critical differences when using default
settings within each modem.

An interesting followup to my own thread . . . .

D-Link tech assistance could not get the wireless router to function
using the "dynamic IP" that was specified by my IPS (even with
wireless features inactive) and was actually working well with the
wired router. What he did recommend (and subsequently set up) was
setting it up as a "static IP" despite that the ISP system assigns
dynamic IP's, and leave the dealing with the dynamic associations to
the computer as opposed to the router.

Still don't understand this fully. Not really sure what has been
done, but all works well. Now for some post-mortem study to see just
how the hell this is working. And to see what is now measurably
slowing down my system. But there is a reasonable degree of
connection with the ISP and wireless features work flawlessly.

http://www.dlink.com/products/suppor...1&pv=107&sec=0
Rev.A.

I'm not clear on what you mean but I'll tell you what I know. I
understood your router's issue to be that it could not connect to the
ISP and you could not get internet neither with wireless or wired
(logically). But it appears you may be speaking of DNS. IOW, if you
cannot connect to ISP, then there is no service period, no matter if
you have wireless association issues to your pc or wired pc.

If you do have a connection to ISP, that is you can ping it with a
wired pc yet you cannot get internet, then it may be related to DNS.
If you attempt wirelessly and you cannot open a web page, yet your
connected to your router fully, and can ping the internet, then again
DNS.

It may have been that your internet connection from the router may not
been receiving and passing along properly all IP information. (This
happens rarely, but when you have a double router situation - modem/
router- andyou actually get an internal ip address sent to your
second router.) So all this IP information that would normally would
be sent through a setting of 'dynamic Ip' never reaches your pc. So he
may have just set all these values fixed/static on your pc.

That's all. So he applied directly the info to your pc, instead of
getting this done by the dynamic ip setting which is the DHCP, which
would have done it automatically and dynamically. I say dynamically
since if these values change from your ISP, that is DNS ip values then
you may still have a connection to the internet however no web pages.
This rarely happens though.
