Setting up a Dlink DI-624

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Ive just downloaded the manual and the infastructure set up shows a pc
connected to one of the ethernet lan ports, do ihave to have a pc connected
in this way or can all the clients be wireless?

Can updates and troubleshooting not be done from a wireless client?

Don't do it. Says so in the manual.

Sorry. I meant don't try a firmware update especially over a wireless
connection; use the ethernet cable for that. It's also necessary to
have a wired connection to do complete troubleshooting. I had a
DI-713P where the wireless side went completely bad, and I had to have
the wired connection to talk to the router at all.

The manuals warn specifically against doing a flash firmware upgrade
over a wireless network; an interruption could lead to a
non-functioning router.

why not have both cards available, wired and wireless?

Well it is kinda like the TV with built in VHS.
If one goes bad you have to take the whole thing to the shop.

So with 2 cards, if one card goes bad, you still have the other! ;-)
your *one* card, of course, is neat! lol

I guess I expect some components to fail. :-(

I have the D-Link DI-524 router 802.11g and D-Link's matching wireless 11g
PCMCIA card for my Thinkpad 570.
It connected very easily to each other, but required me to call tech support
so I could connect to the internet with my DSL modem. Then I got it to work
with my favorite Speedstream 5861 router.

All components play nicely together. <g>
I do have a spare NIC with dongle for the Thinkpad to connect with, if
needed.
