I've been struggling with a wireless issue for some time. I even
switched from Suse 11 to Fedora 10 trying to shake it (which was unfair
but I had other reasons too). The symptom is that the wireless
connectivity would hang periodically for 30 sec to 3 or 4 minutes. Long
enough to disrupt remote desktop sessions and sometimes even kill the
vpn. It was usually a short lived event so it didn't usually disrupt
network browsing (indistinguishable from a slow website) and ftp clients
and torrent clients all survived the interruptions. Oddly enough,
during the hang I could ping my linux router (which the dlink is behine)
but not the isp's router.
Anyway, to make a long story shorter I eventually checked the Dlink
DIR-655 page to see if there were any issues related to my wireless
router. Sure enough there is a firmware update for, what is rather
vaguely described as, "- Fixed WAN speed issue:"
See:
http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=530&sec=0
I applied the update and have been very happy with the results.
I still have network issues but now they are of the "identifiable" sort.
If you have one of these GET THE UPDATE. The router is worthless
without it!
thnx wcn
