Hi,
(TLDR: 827 keeps rebooting/dropping internet connection.)
Our office wireless/wired network has been running through a Dlink DIR-825 (B1) for almost 2 years without any real issues. However, because a certain coworker was having wireless issues with her Macbook (I hate Apple just fyi), I thought maybe a firmware update might help. It was running on Ver. 2.03 and I followed the instruction to update to 2.06. I only managed to get as far as 2.05_1 which seems to have bricked it.
As such, I went out and grabbed a DIR-827 so at least we have something.
When the 827 is working, it's working great. The wireless coverage is much stronger and I no longer need an additional access point. However, we've only had it for two days and it seems to reboot on it's own quite often. I've entered the settings exactly as they were on the 825 but I'm wondering what my issue might be?
We have about 18 wired computers, 4 wired IP cameras, a Qnap NAS, and about 10 wireless devices. Is that too much for the 827? The only problem we really had with the 825 was wireless coverage area and it was slow when there was large amounts of network usage. Mostly email and web traffic normally.
I'm going to make another post asking what equipment I should be using for a proper small business network, but this is what I'm working with for now.
Thanks,
Mark
