Spare Di-624 Hey, I have a spare Di-624 lying around. Right now I am using a Belkin N1 vision with both N and G radio types for my wireless internet. I was wondering if there was some way I could use the spare Di-624 to boost the signal strength of the new router? Like some kind of repeater, AP, or bridge?

When you only get 5 mbps are you connecting to the new router wirelessly or via the ethernet cable? If it is wirelessly then try connecting with an ethernet cable and see if you still get 5 mbps. If so then try resetting the router (the procedures for this will be explained in the manual) and re-test. Wireless connections can slow down due to obstacles such as thick walls or other obstacles of that type. If all else fails return the unit and try another.

Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link. http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.15.1 or http://192.168.2.1 If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it. Then it ask for user name and password. Type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or "password" or blank. Then you can see configuration page of router. Then configure wan settings and lan settings enable wireless if you want to use wifi . Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa.

My N1 Vision does the same thing, If you turn off the guest account, you should find its ok. Only when this Guest account is on, thats when it disconnects. Hope this helps. John

I have 2 x Belkin N1 vision dsl (cable) routers. One is connected fine with Virgin 20 meg broadband. Is it possible to use the other N1 vision router as a range extender up stairs to get better signal , without using any cat5 cabling ? I.e router-to-router

It can't be used as a bridge but you can use it as an Access Point. All you need to do is disable the DHCP server of the router and don't use the Internet/WAN port

It might be an idea to upgrade the firmware which can be downloaded from manufacturers' website

I don't think it can. An inexpensive wireless access point will work as a bridge. I use the TP Link brand with detachable antenna.

Using the terms using the dlink router as bridge you get results of people who claim it can't be done because of firmware. The same question on the D-Link help site mentions DL to DL bridges, but not with the 624.

Did you use the pass key to connect? If you are using the wifi you have to go to here 192.168.1.1 with browser type admin for username and admin for pass and config the the router. To make life easy just use a cable ie Ethernet..
