ChangeYourChannelID
@comcast.n
| Re: No Party Trick Um... just out of curiosity, have any of you people who are having the "random resets" when your phones ring (I'm assuming you mean cordless, 2.4 GHz phones) try switching the channel ID that your router is operating on? Default is usually 6... try something like 4. Maybe your cordless phones are running on the same channel ID and interfering with it. | |

| Re: No Party Trick The thing with that is people are reporting the problem with the phones only occurs when Super G enabled. Super G uses channel bonding so you can't change the channel from 6. Now you could just get around the problem by turning Super G off, but ironically, that's one of the major selling points of the DI-624. Otherwise, you could have bought the 524 which doesn't include Super G. | |

| I think the whole "rebooting when the cordless phone rings" thing is a shennanigan. I have a 2.4GHz phone which I used constantly while online with the DI-614+ and the DI-624.
However, much to the defence of those who DO have the reboot problem when 2.4GHz phones are in use -- I disable the wireless interface of all of my routers, simply because I have no need for it.
But, with that fact in mind, the D-Link units continued to reboot, especially when handling DHCP/BOOTP-related packets, particularly over the LAN (i.e. Static DHCP).
People need to realise that D-Link isn't even making these products, none the less the firmwares. They're subbing all of this out to the actual manufacturer of these units, who is located in China. Trendware is another company which buys the same units from the aforementioned Chinese company, except that Trendware's firmwares *WORK*. I find this very disturbing...
