Has anyone had luck networking a DLink Dir-655. When I try, I get no IP Address, DNS, etc. I switched to a Netgear router and had no problems. Wanted to get tips from those who were successful with the Dir-655 because this the only problem I’ve had with it.
I have great sucess with the DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router.
I’ve tried a few others but none was as solid as this router. I’m pretty sure you had a typo here or there while setting it up.
I used the simplest setup, didn’t bother with any of the advanced stuff at all.

I have never had a problem connecting to my network in the past. I have tried both automatic and manual detection. I have switched cables and direct connection to router - No IP address, DNS
works fine here, wireless and via cable.
much better than netgear !
GLM411,
Do you see the light in the front panel of the modem blinking to show there is a physical connection between the router 's Ethernet and the WDTV box ? Try to use a different port, and even the cable if you have a spare.

When I pluged it in the router I got the light but still no connection. After I retryed I bypassed the router an went into the modum, ran the test and got a network connection. When I reset everything back, no network connection. It has to be a issue between my modem and the router. Any thoughts?
My set up:
Westell 6100 modem
into
DLink Dir-655
into
DLink 2208 Switch
My modem is SpeedStream 6350 which is different brand than yours so I can’t say much about what needs to be done for your setup.
Just in case you haven’t run across this article How do I properly set up a D-Link Router with a Westell Modem? (#7125), maybe it could be of some help. Here is the link http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7125
Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

I used the info a was able to switch from a Routed/Bridged to Bridged connection with my modem. Did the trick, was able to access the network. Thanks for the info!
