Strange problem with D-link DI-634M

[bodami]

Hi,

Has anyone experienced the following problem?

I switched a month ago from D-Link router DI-614+ to DI-634M. I have two desktop and two laptop computers in my local network. Everything works fine except one (strange?) thing: no media file (mp3, avi or any other) created or downloaded AFTER switching to the new router can be played from any of my computers if it is not on the local drive (belonging to the computer I want to play it from). The same happens if I try to copy files from a remote to the local computer. However, if I try same thing with files created before switching routers – no problems!?!

Any idea? (I contacted D-Link support but “that is not their problem” )

Well that certainly is their problem but w/e. Is it maybe that the router isn't configured with the proper security permissions?

So you can copy other things like office documents just fine but media files get corrupted? And it happens whether you stream or copy?

That is really odd. Have you customized any settings on the router? Does it have the latest firmware? Do you still have the old router? You should try plugging it back in to see if everything works agaain.

Now I tested even text-files – the problem persists.

I configured the new router exactly as the previous one, the firmware is updated. Unfortunately the old router is gone.

The error code is "access is denied"

Ya, the security is misconfigured. It may be on the OS side though. Do you have a firewall?

Try resetting the router to its default settings. If transfers work, then add on your custom settings and test file transfers after each change until you isolate the problem.
