I just bought a new D-Links 655 router. Our connection now is even worse than with our old D-Links 524 router! I called our ISP, Clearwire, and they said the problem is not with them, but with the router.
We tried connecting two of our computers (HP Pavilion Elite, and Mac Pro 2.93GHz) directly to the Clearwire modem, and got a very solid and fast connection!
Problem is that only one computer can be connected directly to the modem, and we have four computers online.
I called D-Links and got several technicians that spoke very bad English. I had a terrible time trying to communicate with them. One of them wanted to remotely take control over my computer and install software that he guarenteed would fix our problems!
I said no ... Spoke with supervisor and they gave me a number to call, which turned out to be Apple Tech Support, and they are closed.
Is this router simply not compatible with Macintosh computers? Is this router not able to handle four computers?
Strange that my ancient D-Links 524 router works much better with all four of our computers online at the same time ....
Any suggestions? Should I just test float this D-Links 655 router, and buy another router ... ???
