05 Aug 11 D-Link DIR-655 as an AP
To give better wi-fi range than was available on a BT Voyager 2100 DSL modem, I used my spare Dlink DIR-655 router as an AP.
It was easy to do.
Connect to the DIR-655 with a CAT 5 cable (don’t do this over wireless).
Then:
- Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.
- Click Setup and then click Network Settings. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server server checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.
- Remove the CAT 5 cable from the computer. Connect one end to a LAN port on the BT Voyager, connect the other end to a LAN port on the DIR-655.
- Reboot the DIR-655

Today’s clear out item is this Linksys Wireless-G router. Now, some of you might say, why don’t I offer it for sale on eBay? Well, for one, I don’t have a power supply for it, and so I can’t test it, and I don’t know if it works. I won’t put anything up for sale unless I know 100% it does work. So this is another item that will go to Goodwill, someone there will probably pay a couple of bucks for it, and perhaps it will work fine and do them some service. I’ve got a new N class wireless router now, and I don’t have the time or the inclination to mess with this.

Today out goes the other defunct router. This is the one that went west a couple of weeks ago. I replaced this with the D-Link DIR 655, which is the first n spec network equipment here. It gives 300mbps over the LAN, once I’ve also upgraded some of the NICs in the other computers. Also the new router features intelligent QoS, and should work wonders with radio streaming and VOIP.
