    D-Link DNS-323: A brand-name NAS worth waiting for

    New DNS-323 user here. Is there a way to disable the FTP server? Until I'm ready to have Internet users access my drives, I would like to ensure there is no access from the Internet. The other servers, UPnP, iTunes and DHCP have explicit disable options. I downloaded firmware 1.05. When I...

    DIR-655 as an access point

    Thanks for everyone's advice. It helped me understand some of this wireless stuff. So aside from having what jdabbs calls "a passphrase that will take longer than the heat death of the universe to brute force," I gather that not much else is of real value. when it comes to access security...

    As for the connectivity problem, I finally discovered that the AP was not talking to my existing router nor any other PC on the local network because the AP did not accept their MAC addresses as legitimate. As for the whole MAC filtering issue, I've read in many places that it is more of a...

    DIR-655 as an access point

    After years of being wired, I took the plunge and went wireless, that is to say I'm trying to. Added a D-Link DIR-655 to my existing home network as an access point: disabled UPnP, DHCP and gave it an available address on my network. In a laptop I added a D-Link DWA-642 adapter configured...
