DIR-615 Router Drops Internet When Nexus S Is Connected
0 replies, posted
I've got a home wireless network with around 4 computers connected at any given moment. Since adding a Nexus S, the router has dropped the internet connection three times. The devices all remain connected, they just can't reach the internet. It's definitely related to the phone being connected, as the moment I turn its wifi antenna off the rest of the computers get internet again. It does work for a while with the phone connected - I spent an hour browsing and downloading apps, for example. It's not a device limit as adding other extra devices, like an iPod Touch or some netbooks, doesn't harm the reliability.
The router's a revision B DIR-615 (D-Link), connected to the internet via PPPoE and a DSL Bell (Canada) modem. I've tried changing some of the wifi settings, such as the channel it uses, and removed some extra rules. I'm going to do a hard reset and see if there are any firmware updates next, but it's an oddly specific problem so I'm not sure that will help.
