I bought a DLink DI-524 wireless router back in February. It worked fine for several months. Then, about a month or so ago, it started locking up. At first, it did it about once or twice a week. However, the lockups got more frequent as time passed by. Lately, it had been doing it several times a day. I went through all the trouble shooting suggestions from their website and none of them did anything to improve the situation.
So, I'm just curious if anyone else has had similar issues with this router. Or am I just cursed to have eternal issues with routers?
I talked to DLink's tech support on Sunday. That was after I had tried everything and was down to one option, a hard reset. Well, the hard reset seemed to flub up things. Instead of just resetting to factory default, it brought up a screen that asked for the firmware. So, I located the firmware on my hard drive and clicked ok. It just locked up again. From there on out, it would always just come up to that firmware screen when I powered off for a minute or two and then back on.
So, to make a long story......well......end. DLink's tech support finally gave up and decided that my router was defective. So, they'll be sending me a replacement.
