My D-Link 804HV four port wired router had some sort of failure. I just couldn't get it working properly, so I replaced it. Then I decided to experiment with the failed router. I connected it directly to a laptop with no modem, just a local network of one PC. I reset it to factory defaults. Then I disabled DHCP and set the IP address to one consistent with the network that is connected to my cable modem. Then I connected it to my main router LAN port to LAN port. So now I had the failed router connected to my main network as a switch with my laptop connected to a LAN port.

Everything works as expected except the PC connected to the 804HV "switch" has an Internet download speed about 1/10 of the PCs on the main network. The 804HV definitely has some kind of problem.

Routers are cheap and this one is a "throw away", but I am curious about what could be causing such poor performance? (I forgot to mention that I also upgraded the firmware to the latest from D-Link.)

Any insight will be appreciated, jimbo


Jimbo,

Did you try all of the ports? I'd bet you're seeing a 10M half duplex
connection.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I get the same results when using ports 2 and 4 or 1 and 3. The only diagnostic led on the router is indicating "router is working properly". I don't see any setting on the router (physical or browser pages) to set or check the connection speed.

Thanks for any additional insight, jimbo
