All of a sudden my internet stopped working. Lights on cable modem seem fine. Cable company says my router is pulling an ip. My dlink 614+ however, will not renew a DHCP ip. It just times out. No internet. Upgraded my firmware (after the problem started, not before) Firmware updated successfully but i still have no internet. when i connect my pc to the cable modem, I can get right on the net, so its definately my router. Ran the auto-config process, and restarted, reseting all info and still won't obtain an IP.

I think Dlink products Suck. I used to purchase only Dlink, but this is my 3rd dead router in 6 months, and I have seen 5 network cards die. Dlink products seem to have a 1year lifespan. :(....... Gonna go buy a linksys :p

Wow I have a lot of D-Link.
Wow should I put then in the can, it is a lot of money.

I look it these threads and it says:

Frustrated Beyond Belief - Linksys Problem.

Why do you mock me, netgear?

Having problems with a Linkysys BEFSR41.

Xircom Wireless PCMCIA card = junk?

And if I keep looking there is many more, there is nothing you can buy.

May be I should ditch it all and go back to the Fast Food Job?

What shell I do?

P.S. VIVA the Statistics of N=1
