Oh my.. since like my ASUS RT-N13U going to happen the same with Dlink DIR-615..
It now behave like it, every 1 day after lots of data transfer, my LAN connection be it wireless or wired will become unavailable, lost the connection, not network cable unplugged, just that the connection will lost it's IP address's and receive 169.* IP.
I tried to restart PC hoping that it was PC problem, but does not resolve the issue, and restarted the router and wallah, connection back again, ohmygod.. anyone know what's going on with this symptom?
Hi rewlie,
I am using the same router, and facing the same problem. The most recent ocurrent was yesterday. Though I couldn't connect to the router with my laptop, however it's ok when I used my mobile to connect to it.
2 things I observed, I used to use auto for my wireless type, I changed it to b/g then it's ok. Change back to auto, it gave me problem again. This could be one of the issues.
Another thing is, wondering if you set a smaller ip range for your DHCP. If you did, this may be a problem too if your devices cannot obtain a valid IP from your router. I allocated only 6 IP address for my devices to share, however my wife's mobile doens't come with a hostname, with which whenever she connects to the router, a new IP will be assigned to her device. In normal case, the router will assign the same IP if it recognises it as an existing device if it finds a record on its device list (through hostname). The bloody Samsung Galaxy S 2 don't have a hostname, hence used up all the IP. For this, either you allocate a wider IP range, or you configure a shorter lease period for each IP. This issue was observed even when I used the stock router too.
I am still observing the behaviour of this router especially on the wireless type issue. Should you have any finding from your side, please share it here too ya.
