I have a Dl-614+ router and for awhile now the IP Renew hasn't worked; I just get a timeout everytime. It didn't really matter because with my old ISP I could just have a static IP and it worked fine but I just recently switched ISP's and I don't think it will work that way (haven't tried it out yet).

So anyways I was wondering if anyone has heard of something like this happening before or has any ideas?

Thanks

1) You're talking about WAN IP not LAN, right?

2) Have you tried repowering the router, and the cable/DSL modem?

A friend of mine had the same problem. If you can...connect your computer directly to be able to access the internet. Then download the newest firmware for the router. His came with 1.03 version if I can remember correctly. We upgraded it to 1.05 and all ofa suddent the WAN light would stay on..and the internet worked. Also make sure you select the proper type of Internet connection.

24x7 support ?? you must be kidding. I have called D-link in three countries and never managed to speak to a person. There is hardly an email address that is not sales to send a question/problem... and If you do it to sales... well, I have done and I have not received an answer....

Is this a cable internet connection? Cable (at least in my area) doesn't change IPs unless you hook the modem up to a device with a different MAC address. You will likely have to set it up on your computer then move it back to make the ip change.
Cable might be different in other areas, I don't know. That is what you have to do where I live.
