Can't Get Into D-Link :(

[Micksxboxmods]

I am beginning to think that D-Link are not the greatest of units.

I have two DSL-G604T modem/router/wireless units here - both were brand new and bought at different stages - both of them have issues trying to associate with the ADSL signal.
The ADSL light flashes as per normal, locks solid for about 3 seconds, goes out, flashes for around 8 seconds then goes out completely. Then it starts this pattern over again.
At some random point it decides it will connect to the net and stay connected, but this could be hours later! Then, if there is a power cut or dropout, this difficulty in connecting starts all over again.

A DSL-504 (or any other brand of modem) connected to the same line associates and connects instantly.

Their support service is crap.

i've got a DSL-G604T and cannot fault it mate!

ok to fix this, try going into admin page>HOME>select WAN tab>try changing connection type to PPPoA VC Mux or PPPoE LLC(whichever isnt selected)

I was put onto this by my ISP(internode) as when it tries to find a connection and fails to do so, it flashes the ADSL light and basically locks out the router from connecting.

By changing the connection type it seems to refresh and connect...voila all solved.

Dunno how or why, but this worked for me, give it a try.

Yeah I'm with you Mick.
Got the same router and have had no probs.
Had a 504T before that and tried setting that up at my neighbours place over the weekend and couldn't get the friggin thing to work.
Then rang their ISP helpline and they suggested exactly what you just typed here, select PPPoA VC instead of PPPoE LLC and presto, it worked!

In Internet Options - Connections Tab - Lan Settings it shouldn't be any proxy check box checked. Only automatic detection enabled.
I had problems at work accessing as I had connection via proxy checked.
