It’s a problem with the firmware of the DI-524. There’s no updated firmware that solves this issue.

D-Link is a piece of crap. I just built a network with wireless products from D-Link. It’s been taking me 3 weeks (for a job budgeted at three days) and I still don’t finish it, signal problems and “falling off the network” are just commonplace, while AP repeaters DWL-2100AP are not compatible with WPA-PSK (security level we’re using).

It’s just crap.

Hi Dougal, I have the very same problem. I want to extend the range between a DI-524 and a DWL-G520. If you find out whether a DWL-G800AP works, please drop me a note. On the good side, the DWL-G710 AP/repeater from D-Link is apparently working with the DI-524 (according to the datasheet, as the DI-524 is explicitely mentioned); however it is offered in some US stores but not in Canada (where I am ). It may be a hard-to-find, discontinued product.

We have a Linksys booster as we rent a really old house with steel and wood beams. I hear you and feel your pain!

I have a similar problem and am trying different things to try and sort it out. Process of elimination.

I would do trial and error first. Then the same with the antenna upgrade. My first try would be high in a room down stairs.

Dougal:

I found that having my AP at the highest point in the room really helped coverage no matter where I was.
