Hi there,
I have a D-Link DI-774 wireless router. The problem is quite simple; it keeps locking up, often within minutes of being turned on.
More specifically, when this happens *all* the lights at the front light up, stay lit and stop flickering like normal. The router is effectively dead (Windows XP thinks that the cable has been disconnected, and there is no way of contacting it). The only way of curing this is to turn the router off and on again.
This has happened even when nothing is connected to the router (either wirelessly or via cable). It only started happening after the 1 year guarantee period ran out (hmm.....).
I've heard that this might be something to do with the power supply, although a simple test with a multimeter indicates that the voltage seems to be okay (disclaimer; I'm pretty incompetent when it comes to electronics...); and surely that would cause the unit to reboot rather than lock up?
Has anyone else out there had a similar problem and managed to fix it? (I've tried using D-Link's support site, but have had a number of problems with it).
Thank you in advance for any feedback.
