MacBook, DI-614+ Dropouts Resolved

June 11th, 2006

$Apple MacBook Pro MA463LL/A 15.4\$

Amazon Link

Apple I’d been having issues with random dropped conntections and having to reset Airport on every wake from sleep, and I think I have them more or less figured out. In the DI-614+, go to the Advanced tab and click on Performance. Set Beacon Interval to 50, Basic Rates to 1-2-5.5-11, TX Rates to 1-2-5.5-11, Preamble Type to Long Preamble, and Disable the 4X mode. These are the settings that seem to make the most difference. Disabling 4X mode is a must.

I hope the different settings work for you. There is something funky with the MacBook and router connections.

Thanks, webomatica! I am a new Mac user of 2 days, and was having the problem you describe. Your suggested fix works like a charm for me. Huzzah!

Hi Neil, that's cool. I've since upgraded my router to a Belkin, but I'm glad this older post is still applicable to folks with the Di-614+.

Thank you so much for this information! I just moved to a MacBook from being a long time PC user and couldn't figure out why PCs on my wireless network were zooming while the Internet connection on my MacBook was abysmal. This is a HUGE help!

Yeah... I was kind of confused for a while too. I had no idea what the 4X mode in the DLink router did, anyhow!

I was having the same problem, DI-614+ and Macbook Pro with all the latest updates (Jun '07). Followed these instructions in the DI-614 advanced menus and everything is gravy now. Thanks!!
