My D-Link 632 , 8 port etc.already quit working! No wi-fy, cuts off & on

Mine cuts off (lights still blinking but no connectivity) every week or so. A bit annoying but it usually is revived by unplugging the power for a moment and re-plugging it in again). If you know of another 8 port router, let me know... I'd like an alternative myself.

Ours is still working. Sorry I can't help you, but you might try checking the reviews to see if someone else had that problem and the responses they got.

Not surprised, the one I had started dropping the network connection completely and had to be restarted to get it back. After hours on the phone with dlink, they blamed my ISP. I called my ISP and blamed dlink, through all this I made several attempts to bridge this router with my modem/router, to no avail. I gave up and got switch and used my ISP's wireless connection via the modem/router.

I had the same issue of dropping wireless and had to reset the router. Tried numerous adjustments and settings.Added a wireless range extender. No more dropped connections.

The first thing of course, is to apply the Microsoft solution: Reboot the DIR-632. If that doesn't work, do a Factory Reset. I had a problem once, because of an IP conflict caused by Windows 7. Check in the Network Neighborhood for a Microsoft "miniport" wireless device. Even if it is disabled, it can cause a conflict. Enable it, set an IP but NO GATEWAY, save it, and disable it again. That may help.

I've done the same. 1 remove the msata wireless, or 2 disable wireless on windows or whatever OS you're using. I've done the latter as I don't want to remove my mobo after screwing it in to my case, and it works.

Mine connected initially just fine, then after 3 months of use won't connect to ANYTHING - rebooted, disconected etc - all devices say it there, but not able to connect..........;0(

Replace? I don't know. I only know switch off the WIFI; WIDI? extra devices plug into USB port?

Suggest going on the internet to find the manual. (I couldn't find mine.) The word "ready" in "Wi-Fi ready" is a tip-off that you need something else to make it work. I have mine hardwired with a cable.

You need to use a power adapter. Several of the ports no longer function (side note).

Sorry, I'm no help because I couldn't get the wifi extener to work at all. Directions were confusing and not very helpful. Mine is in a box ready for the dump!

I have the same problem. There is an adapter to go from the 30 pin to the 8 pin (new connection) I just haven't been able to find one locally.

I bought mine in January 2013 and it worked with mostly no issues up until around February 2014, then it started dropping the Internet, the LAN, and the Wireless. I sent logs to their tech support and they suggested RMA. It has a two year warranty, so I got an OK to RMA it, but, there's no advanced replacement plan available, so it has to be mailed into them, then I have to wait to get a repair or replacement back, which to me, is not acceptable.

Why not send it back for a replacement? If your wireless is fine, and the tablet isn't connecting, that seems like the logical next step! I've had one for a while -- maybe 6 months? -- and I only notice problems in the same places other devices register a weak signal; the Prestige 7 does seem to drop a weak signal before my netbook will.

We've had similar issues where we keep losing wireless connection. Worked great for about a month then started giving us intermittent issues. Have tried many times to remedy but still having issues. Not a happy customer. One thing that worked intermittently was unplugging the unit for a minimum of 30 minutes then powering it back on. Sometimes, only sometimes, does that allow it to connect back to the network.

I have issues as well. Drops connections for thermostats (Wifi) and other devices. Range mediocre as well. Will be replacing it. Linksys has gone downhill.

I would try getting a new router and perhaps a new modem, or, better yet, take it somewhere that has a different wireless set up to see if it works before changing anything. When I bought the radio I had a 5 yr old linksys 802.11b router running off an even older RCA cable modem. I had similar DNS problems and tried everything described above and then some (including bypassing the router and plugging it directly to the cable modem) . The radio never acquired an internet connection. Aluratek support tried to help (a little) and concluded the radio was faulty. So, I got a new one and returned the old one to Amazon (Amazon doesn't really exchange, but has a decent return policy and will credit a return against your purchase of a replacement.) The replacement radio didn't work in exactly the same way the first one didn't. work Coincidentally, at about the same time we were about to switch internet service from comcast to fios, so I decided to keep the radio a few days and try it with the new service, during which time I entertained myself by playing mp3s off a thumb drive. After the new internet service (including new modem/WAP) was installed I turned on the Aluratek and (presto) it immediately connected to to the internet and played as advertised, and I have not had a problem since. By the way, I have had a Roku internet tuner (the kind that needs to plug into a stereo or powered speakers, not the table radio) and it never had a problem with the old modem and wireless. The Roku does seem to buffer faster and doesn't cut out nearly as much now, though.

Make sure the cable is connected as well that the actual wifi card is not loose. The board is only a switch not the actual wireless network adapter. These sometimes get loose when pulling the laptop apart. There is also two wires that connect to the antennas.

exact same problem here. strangely, changing the channel of the wifi (manually) fixes the problem. that is a workaround but i don't want to work around... any ideas?

I have the same problem. Work-a-round is to power down the base station for about a minute. Reconnect. The cell phone may or may not automatically reconnect. If not, use the base station Bluetooth menu, Active Devices choice to cause a reconnect. However, the problem will eventually re-occur. Must be bad firmware.
