のD - Link DIRを- 655ルータおよびSharePoint / SharePort
更新日：1月16日2010年 1.33b01NAがリリースされました 。
更新は、第2は、11月、2009年：すべてのユーザーがチェックアウト、SharePort持つ問題を、この情報最新の記事のために。
アップデートは：それを、この確認については何でも新しい発見には、以下を確認コメントを読んで機能は、多くのダウンロードして修正されたバグも改良され発売以来、オリジナルとして8月約2009ファームウェア1.32NAファイナルは最新のものであるのファームウェアを読む、ここ。
私は過去1年間のD - Link DIRを- 655ルータを所有しており、それをはるかに最高のルータが、私が今まで使用しているが、私は150ドル以上の私はルーター前に支払っているものを支払うかが、私が得ている私が支払っているもの。
バージョン大和総研- 655のファームウェア1.21ベータ04で今のSharePoint機能が利用可能です料金。 、私はあなたの任意混同しないようにしようとするつもりだ、それはどこでも他のソフトウェア自体を含むcalledですとして、メディアや他のサイトの一部またはSharePortそれを呼び出すようにSharePointのはD - Link製品のための方法、LAN経由でUSBデバイスを共有することです私はそれにSharePortだけ今から参照されますさらにので。
デバイスが実際にお使いのPCに接続された場合、それらは別のPCで使用できるようにSharePortは、コンピュータから共有USBデバイスで私は実際に数年前に行うことができると思ったの興味深い機能です。 D - Linkのが最終的に生活にSharePort限られた形でこの技術を持ってきた。
このようにSharePort、私は例として、私大和総研- 655、ブラザーのDCP - 150 MFCを使用する機能です。
大和総研- 655は、背面にあるUSBポートを備えて、テストはUSB 1.1ポート、今までのポートは、USBキーに格納される可能性が無線の設定に使用されたことを示すように見える。
しかし、USBポートを新しいファームウェアをインストールした後、我々はセットアップのポートの使用を制御の下に新しいメニューをもって迎えている以上の使用を発見した。
あなたが見ることができるように、このUSBポートの設定に多くはないが、WCN設定がデフォルトです、これは無線の設定キーの、ドロップダウンボックスを選択に使用されます：
選択ネットワークUSBはSharePortモードでは、3GのUSBアダプタは謎のビット私には選択ルータを置くと、私はどのようなデバイスは、この互換性はまだしていること、しかし、ほとんどの人はいないとしてではなく、私は、3Gサービスをして、それを使用してバックアップにのみUSBポートにデバイスを接続し、3GのUSBアダプタを選択して、非常に便利とされるだろうと。
に問題を抱えていないしたら、ネットワークのUSBにデバイスを選択したが、自動的に、しかし、順序をはD - LinkからSharePortソフトウェアをインストールする必要が接続するために共有されて、これはまだベータ版で、それはとても慎重等等で使用されますが、私はそれはまだ、それはかなり洗練されたようだ。 一度が、それを手動でSharePortソフトウェアをそれぞれの時間runningことなくデバイスを使用することができなくなりますあなたはそれが起動時に実行し、すぐにそれを実行できるよう確認してインストールされて、それだけで羊の2MBのを使用して、リソースではないですよ豚。
お使いのUSBデバイスがある場合、次にSharePortユーティリティは、このようなシステムトレイのアイコンを一度ダブルクリックして表示されるはず関連付けました。 これは、デバイスをインストールするためのウィザードを実行することが、あなたのデバイスのドライバを必要とするか、自分のウェブサイトのための最新のドライバ、終了時にはautomaticallyデバイスを印刷する接続する場合を質問されますcd場合それは、プリンタ、これはそれ以外の場合は、手動で接続するように選択する必要があります良い考えです。
いったん、すべてのデバイスを使用する各コンピュータにセットアップされている場合は、各デバイスの状態は、プリンタが一時停止され、オフライン、印刷をプリンタにとにかくわかります、SharePortソフトウェアを検出、印刷は、プリンタに送信されていることコンピュータに自動的に、しばらくプリンタはPCとそれは、かつての印刷ジョブは、再度オフラインに戻ります。完成されている接続が表示されます一時通信しているプリンタを割り当てます。
この機能の制限は、それだけで1台のPC上で同時に、USBデバイスは、単に2台のPCに一度ので、このような場合は、なぜそれが理にかなって接続するように設計されていません動作れます。
私は多くのwebcamしかし彼らが動作するように知られているようなものを試したことのない、通常よりも遅い速度がで、私のプリンタのスキャナ機能は正常しかし、手動でそれを使用するSharePortソフトウェアを使用する場合、切断を確認接続する必要が動作するあなたが行われていますした。
私は、この資料の開始時に述べたようにSharePortソフトウェアは何か私は長い時間を待っている、それは素晴らしい機能自分のルータを考慮のは、最新のそこ今ではない、それはほとんどのD - Linkのような追加をあきらめていたよう、新しいそれに機能、それはまた、他の職務をすべてそれが実行している間は、USBデバイスを処理できる場合、どれだけのデバイスが動作を示しています。

うーむ。
So I have uninstalled NetLimiter Monitor from my systems and put in a email query to their support team asking if they can look into this independently.
Seeing how it appears both SharePort and NetLimiter Monitor both seem to hook into the Windows networking drivers/services this makes pretty good sense.
Will give another update if/when they respond.
Not sure if I am brave enough just yet to repeat the experiment on my live systems again.

Hi Everyone, I am Brand new to all of this. Recently Upgraded to the DIR655. Great. 1 Desktop 5 Notebooks. Desktop has the PCI network card, Router, DSL Modem Etc. Notebooks are all running internal 802.11G Devices.
If I unplug the USB Cable from the Oki550 color laser from the Desktop, and plug it into the USB Port on the DIR655. Is this ultimately (or Theoretically)going to allow us to print to that Laser without turning on the Desktop Computer first?
For now that is my ultimate objective and this is my first question.
Thanks

Yes this will allow access to the Printer any time the Router is on, the printer and router are the only 2 things that need to be on for this to work, however that is provided they do not route through the desktop at any stage. As can be seen by the comments you should exercise a bit of caution when installing the Shareport software as it doesn't play well with other software that has networking components.

Hey guys I found the issue… Its Net Limiter uninstall that and you are good to go ^_^

Ben,
Just to confirm what I suspected and Nick has confirmed…the Net Limiter 2 Monitor program does critically conflict with the SharePort application (at this time).
I had uninstalled it from my XP Home (SP3) and Vista Home Premium (SP1) systems. Then I reinstalled SharePort after creating System Restore points (just to be safe).
Installation went fine this time and no BSOD or conflicts were observed. The SharePort application quickly found the Seagate USB flash storage device and I was able to “mount/connect” to it and read/write files from all systems.
To be clear…only one system can be connected to the device at one time as far as I can tell. Other than that it now works great.
やれやれ！ That was a doozie working that issue out. Thanks to Nick for posting a confirmation.
I did send an email to the Net Limiter support team about the issue, but no response yet.
Not sure if it will occur with all their programs (paid/free) or just with Net Limiter 2 Monitor.
Thanks all!
乾杯！

Hi, i'm owning the Dir-855 as my dear old Dir-655 went to my sisters apartment as a permanent solution. However i'd be very interested in knowing if the DIR-855 supports this feature as well. It might be a good add-on for my already awesome Wireless router.

Daniel,
According to a D-Link press release, the DIR-855 is included in those that SharePort supports.
http://www.dlink.com/press/pr/?prid=442
Quoting:
“The innovative SharePort USB network-bridging feature is available on D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router models – the DIR-655, DIR-825, DIR-855 and DGL-4500 Gaming Router with GameFuelâ„¢. The SharePort technology upgrade is also available on the RangeBooster N DIR-628. Current owners of those routers will be able to upgrade to SharePort technology by downloading the latest firmware and client utility from the D-Link website, http://www.dlink.com .”
I think this is the link to the DIR-855 firmware and SharePort download page:

Hi, I have my own DIR655 for 1 week. Its an EU version, but US firmware 1.21 run smothly. Shareport works, but not very stable.
First issue, sharing USB disk drive over the WiFi is not a good idea IMHO. Any network problem and Vista have issues with device. Also performance is an issue (800kB/s when 2M/s when copying files between laptops with WiFi n adapters).
But I purchased this router for printer sharing. And it is possible, but Shareport Utility (1.0) works only on the local account. When working on the active directory account, the utility's popup window shows the device connected to the router's USB port. But when clicking on the tray icon the app window is not shown. Application is on the taskbar but has no window to select device and do connect.
On the local account everything is OK. Seems to be the SharePort Utility issue. The OS was installed a week ago, not many aplications installed.
Any ideas?

Hi, i am having this isue with dlink 655 v1.21
and shareport v.1.0…
multifuction printer and usb flash drive work flawless on 2 xp sp3, and 1 vista 64 machines,
but when i connect an ipod touch v. 2.0, the shareport utility shows “available for use”
and try to connect to it and all 3 of my pc's drop the internet connection, wireless and hardwired and needless to say the itouch wont connect and the internet is restored automatically, is like the router goes into a power cycle or something.
Then i tried same procedure but with an ipod nano this time, and guess what, worked perfect!!
is anybody having this problem and or know the workaround to this?

こんにちは！
..だから i have a dir-655 EU router and tried the 1.21 US firmware myself. i'm not going to lie, the firmware upgrade didn't go without a hitch. When i uploaded the firmware to the router, i couldn't get to the administration page of the router anymore… but after a reset everything went back to normal (it might be a good idea to save the configuration of the router before you do the firmware update). Anyways, i encourage everybody with a non us dir-655 to try the 1.21 firmware… so far everything's working fine and even managed to attach my printer to it and it works great… next thing to try is a storage device

Remember guys, the router appears to be limited to USB 1.1 speeds, ie about 1MB/second so it is not recommended unless you have a small device and don't have much to transfer, also routers aren't the fastest systems so transferring data over the USB probably puts alot of strain on the device which could cause anything from slower LAN speeds and wireless dropouts to router reboots.
Thank you for all your research Claus, hopefully soon one of the companies is able to fix the problems with compatibility.

I was hoping you could help me with another issue.
I recently upgraded from another D-link router to a Dir-655. Upgraded to f/w 1.21. Have multiple machines on a local network workgroup that all saw each other fine with the older router. Now I cant see any of the other machines on the lan. I know I've missed something simple so I was hoping you could give me a heads up. All nodes see the internet fine and ip's are reserved and withing dhcp range. What have I missed? Much thanks

There are 2 things off the top of my head that have issues when moving networks, mainly when the network changes it's IP arrangements, some firewall software including Windows Firewall and commonly ZoneAlarm can block a PC from being 'discoverable' as it believes this new network is a public network on the internet instead of a private LAN, if you are running Windows Vista the same thing can happen, make sure your PCs have their network connection set to Home or Private, those really should be the only times when that problem should occur.
If they are wireless also make sure that Wireless Partition is disabled in the Advanced Wireless properties as this will cause a similar affect.

I am having the same BSOD problem on Vista as mentioned by others. The PC went to BSOD at the end of the Shareport install and then BSOD'ed each time I tried to login. I have Trend Micro AV and the Nortel Contivity VPN client. Both are essential programs and I can't uninstall either. Could either one of these be a problem?

こんにちは、
I am interested in upgrading to this router so I have searched different forums for clues.
Today I noticed there is a new (still v1.21) file updated 12.12.08. Anyone tried if this is a new version with fixes or not ?
Date: December 19, 2008
Time: 2:57 pm
I'll give it a try and see if it changes anything based on issues people have had, on that note a new issue I have noticed has arisen, occasionally after having the router on for more than a week the shareport software on all computers starts giving out connection errors, if they're left for a while there can be hundreds on the screen, restarting the router stops the errors for a while.
Date: December 20, 2008
Time: 6:52 pm
The 1.21 is the same as the one that was released a few months ago, just with the date changed, however about 2 or 3 versions have been labelled 1.21 without a beta tag, with the last one being 1.21 B10 in November, so if you downloaded 1.21 in October or earlier, download it again and install, it fixes a few problems with port forwarding and saving settings.

Hi gang,
Great thread!
I'm having a shareport problem, and wanted to see if anyone has experienced the same.
here's my setup:
1。 DIR-655 with firmware 1.21
2。 Win XP Pro machine (as a vmware client) with shareport 1
3。 WD external HDD
The HDD is plugged into the USB port on the router, but I'm not able to connect to it from the the Win XP pro machine. The XP machine will continuously notify me that it has “Found” the HDD, but the Shareport tray icon continues to stay red, and never turns green. After about 30 seconds, the notification will come back. I'm completely at a loss, as it workeed in the past when I had this vm client on another host. I know that vmware may be causing this, but I don't see how, because I only have one network adapter enabled on the XP machine (ethernet bridged). I've spent hours trying to get this to work…Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
おかげで、

If you all go to Dlink's website for the router, you will see that it says,
“This firmware is engineered for US products only.
Using this firmware on a device outside of the United States will void your warranty and may render the device unusable.
Please contact the D-Link office in your region for firmware updates that are compatible with your D-Link product.”
and,
“¤ Added SharePort features.

Hi James, I'm not sure of the ports myself however if you open up a command prompt and use the command 'netstat' just after attempting to connect using Shareport, look for the router's IP and you should be able to see all ports that the PC is connecting to the router for, OneCare may have a log file that might allow you to do a similar thing, just make sure you're running as little network applications as possible at the time as the lists can get pretty long and do not have any p2p programs running at the time either.
Hi Jody, I have tested version 0.94 and version 1.00 on Windows XP x64 and Windows Vista x64 and have had no problems, is there an x64 version that doesn't allow this to run?

I just got a D-Link DIR628 which also has the shareport utility. However, I am having some rather strange problem and wonder if anyone can offer some help or suggestions.
On my wife's Vista laptop, the shareport network USB utility installed smoothly and works nicely. On my XP Pro desktop, the first installation hung and when I rebooted, the network USB utility started but couldn't see the devices behind the router. I have been trying different firewall settings (and eventually turned off all firewalls just to try it) the last few days and nothing seemed to really work.
The only thing that seemed to work is if I uninstall the shareport utility, reinstall it, then the first time it got started after reinstall, I could see the devices. If I exit out and restart the utility, it's the same old problem of not seeing any device. Rebooting also has the same problem of not seeing anything. The only way to get it to work so far, seems to be uninstall->reboot->reinstall and it only worked after that sequence.
Anyone has any idea on what this problem might be? When it worked, it worked great. I got 80 Mbps from an external HD which is not great but not too bad either. I could also put both my MFP printer and the HD behind a hub and access both of them. It's really wonderful that way. I just wish I can get it to work on all my computers. By the way, my other system is a Mac and there isn'ta Mac version for that utility.
Sorry for the long mail, any help or suggestion is really appreciated. Thanks.

I have seen a few instances where the devices can't be found on a pc randomly, however I have not experienced this on a PC every time after it has been installed. Is the PC able to detect the router using the Shareport utility?
Right click on the Shareport icon, in the menu you should see the name of your router and it's IP address, make sure it is selected, if not go to it and a new menu will open up, make sure you click on Enable, also you can click on Configuration to get some advanced settings.
If the router doesn't show up in the list then there may be some connection settings on that PC that are limiting the connection between it and the router.
I'm also waiting on a Mac version of the software, though I think it might not happen any time soon.

Anybody use a USB hub on the shareport and get more than 1 device to work?
Date: January 8, 2009
Time: 5:21 am
Ben – thanks for the response. The PC that I am problem with is directly connected to the route through a wired connection using a CAT5 cable. It is the primary system that I use to set up and configure the router. When I had the problem, the top line in the right-click screen of the shareport icon, the one showing the IP addresses and things was not visible. I only got things from the “Advanced Options” down.
Mike – I did put a USB hub in and connected a Canon MP470 printer and a external HD at the same time. I was able to see both of them and were able to connect to them from my Vista laptop.I didn't try to read/write to the HD and print at the same time though.
By the way, I made a typo earlier. I think I was only getting 8 Mbps, not 80. So roughtly 1 MB/sec read throughput is what I was getting. Not very fast but good enough to move small amount of data.

I'm having the same trouble: Have a Dlink655 with a wired connection to a Vista Home Premium laptop and an older desktop box running Win XP.
Shareport works just fine on the laptop – I want to use it for a shared printer.
I can install shareport fine on the XP machine, but it doesn't find any devices connected… and I also don't see the router's IP address upon right-click. I disabled firewalls, uninstalled antivirus software etc. but to no avail.
Would love some hints if anyone has them!

Mike – you said you “went into admin, clicked on ADVANCED, then WISH on the left, then I made sure it was ENABLED and for PRIORITY CLASSIFIERS I clicked AUTOMATIC…”
I assume you are talking about the web administration page for the Dlink655 router? What is the “WISH” thing you talked about? I have a Dlink628 and I didn't see anything that looks like “WISH” in the advanced menu. I was wondering if you can explain what that menu does, I might be able to find the equivalence in my router. Thanks.

I've checked out the DIR-628 emulator on the D-Link site and it appears that router doesn't have WISH at all, perhaps you could try messing about with the QOS settings as they are similar to WISH except they affect both wired and wireless on the WAN side of things, but may not have the same effect as WISH, personally I have WISH off and have no problems.

Hi all,
I tried changing the WISH settings, but no luck. The Vista laptop has no issues with Shareport at all, whereas the XP machine cannot even recognize the router.
If the issue is router-side, I don't know why the Vista box would work and the XP box not?

Hey guys, i am seeing the same thing on the dlink dir-825. Wireless PC's see my printer connected to the usb shareport fine. My wired PC's lose the printer whenever they are restarted. If i reboot the dir-825 the wired pc's will see the router again.
When I click the sharepoint icon, I see the ipaddress for the router when it's working correctly with the printer. When it's not, the ip address is not there and the first entry is advanced options.
I tried changing the wish settings but no change….

Date: February 3, 2009
Time: 11:37 am
For KingTut: I have a similar problem on my laptop, the problem is caused by the channels the router is using for wireless, sometimes it will get out of range of standard wireless cards, even my laptop's N card doesn't work properly sometimes, try forcing the wireless channel to something like channel 6 for a while and see how it goes, you can also try having the channel set to 20Mhz, not 20/40.
For bally: It's possible SharePort needs certain permissions to run properly, it may be a good idea to get in contact with D-Link so they are aware of this issue, it could be a bug that they are unaware of as of yet.

Just installed the latest firmware for DIR-655 and Shareport on three Vista and three XP Pro SP3 pcs. The vista pc's are both wired and wireless and works fine. Te XP pc's refuse to find the router (all three wired). What more is that the Shareport uses up all CPU power when I try to exit the application. There is definitely problems with the software. All firewalls have been turned off. The XP machines have different Anti virus (AVG, Avast and Norman). One of the XP PC's are connected directly to the router, two through a access point. Changing channels or stopping other applications using communication ports have no effect. The Shareport has been tested 0.94 and also updated to 1.0 and tested with clean installations. If anyone is able to run Shareport on XP, please explain how it was installed. Also try Exiting the application and check the CPU meeter.

Just wondering out loud: do you think that it would be possible to use DIR-655´s USB port for something else then sharing a printer?
It certainly doesn´t sound to be good enough for usb-hdd´s for very low transfer speeds that´s been mentioned over here.
Could it be used for hosting a very small web server from an USB stick, like a static home page?

I think i have a different problem here.. i connected a usb hard disk on the usb port of my dir-655 (1.21 firmware) and installed the shareport utility on my vista32 and xp sp3 computers.. I get no router name when i right click the utility in the system tray so I can't select any usb device from the router.. By double clicking the utility, i get no detected usb device in the utiliy's panel either.. I even tried without wirewall, to no avaqil.. what's up with this?
Date: February 13, 2009
Time: 7:07 pm
..also, whenever i boot vista32 i get a 'new hardware found' message and the request to install drivers for the router.. except that there are no drivers in the cd that came with it or on dlink's website… any suggestions? (by the way, the router works, as I can connect wireless and share my internet connection..)
Date: February 13, 2009
Time: 10:55 pm
For Stefano:
Try downloading/installing SharePort again, the drivers are a combination of generic drivers that Windows should already have and 1 or 2 that should be installed with that setup program.
Looks like the program has installed but has been unsuccessful in installing the drivers for some reason, it is most likely that the setup program has exited and deleted the required driver files in the temporary directory before it has had a chance to install them.
Have you V-Lited or stripped down your Windows XP cds in any way? Sometimes removing inbuilt drivers stops less common drivers that some hardware needs.
For Gustavo:
Unfortunately this software and the drivers don't play well with other software and drivers and there is so many possible incompatabilities, it crashes many computers with seemingly no reason.
If there is any software that is installed on those Laptops however unconnected they may seem to the problem, try removing them temporarily.
For Mika:
I don't think there's much chance of that being possible until they create some sort of interface that allows the router to use the stick for storage so it can run an additional server, then I think the router may not have the processing power needed for such a task.
For Bally:
This would be more of an additional feature in D-Link's eyes, they would have no obligation to get it working correctly, it's just the way those companies work, they don't get much more money on additional functionality such as this so it's not really worth their time.
For GC:
I've never experienced cpu usage issues at any time with SharePort on XP or vista, using different virus scanners or wireless/wired, or even through another access point, I actually have the program set to not startup as it has all sorts of problems when it's allowed to run all the time.
My installation was fairly straight forward so it probably won't help you much, double clicked on the install file, installed with default options and when it was done restarted.
FOR ALL:
I had problems with the program telling me the usb device was connected, then not every 10 minutes or so, then when attempting to use it it would disconnect each time, seems that the router no longer liked my usb extension cable, so I removed it and all is good now, so try changing usb cables when things don't work out properly.

for Ben.
Thanks for the answer… my xp install is fairly clean, so i don't think it has any problems.. also, i didn't detect any problems while installing the shareport utility in both computers, so i find it hard to believe it's a bad installation.. i'm clueless..

I just read most of this comments here, but it seems that I have diffrent kind of problem. Although I know that D-Link DIR-655 is exellent, I am thinking to buy DIR-855 or DIR-825 which are DualBand. I have TOSHIBA Qosmio F50-10K, so inegrated wireless card uses Atheros AR9280 chipset.

2。 Which D-Link wireless Router should I buy?
Thanks for any comment!
Date: March 6, 2009
Time: 3:43 pm
Hi Jerry,
Your wireless card supposedly does do 2.4ghz/5ghz simultaneously, though I would check with nay documentation that came with it just to make sure.
I'm not too sure about those 2 routers as I have not had any experience personally with any of them, however I have heard that the DIR-855s have all sorts of issues, however we hear of all sorts of issues with the 655 so it really depends on what kind of bugs you can handle. If you want you can even go for another brand such as Linksys, their routers have great reviews lately.
I forgot to mention before for DIR-655 users:
There is a new beta firmware out called 1.22b05 , a significant portion of users have reported that it works great, much better than their recent releases, however this is a beta so be careful and don't install if you're worried about voiding your warranty etc, if it does fail and you're running the beta firmware they are likely to say no to a warranty replacement.

Jerry,
I bought 2 of the DIR-825 routers. They do simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz, which is why I wanted them instead of the 655.

The DIR-655 is a great router, but the shareport utility is absolutely the worst piece of garbage I have ever had the displeasure of using. It is flaky at best…sometimes it works fine but most of the time it just simply doesn't work. If they are going to release this feature, they need to ensure it works. Otherwise it just serves to frustrate users.

I have a DIR-655 router and have been trying to get the Shareport utility to work. I have three computers in the network: a laptop with Vista and two desktops, one Vista one XP. The laptop uses a wireless connection and the two desktops are hooked to the router with ethernet cable. The laptop and the XP desktop work fine. But the Vista desktop only works sometimes. It's really random, sometimes the Shareport utility recognizes the printer plugged into the router and sometimes it doesn't. Any thoughts?
Date: April 18, 2009
Time: 12:33 pm
I'm seeing more and more cases of Ethernet connected PCs that can't get SharePort working correctly where wireless PCs work fine, I would have expected the opposite to happen.
If there is no software on the Vista PC that could block it intermittently, such as a VPN or an active firewall then it may just be one of those times where it just doesn't want to work, as an outside the box idea try updating the network card's drivers on that PC, occasionally I have seen that fix all sorts of strange network application issues.
If you have time to spare it doesn't hurt to send an e-mail to D-Link explaining the symptoms, if we get enough in they may be able to stabilise the program more.

Hi Ben and all,
thanks for all the tips and hints, i've read everything.
I bought a 655 a few days ago and tried to get the shareport working since (tried really hard).
I just wanted to view some movies on my laptop without having to turn on the PC and make backups to the USB-HDD. Shareport seemed great and made me pay 179 EUR.

I tried getting Shareport to work for a while and finally gave up and uninstalled it. Now I am trying to print the old fashioned way (over the network and not using the d link's USB hub) and I am having huge problems. Printing over the network was fine before shareport, now after intsalling and uninstalling it I have serious issues. Printing takes FOREVER. I mean it is VERY slow. Could the shareport software have left something on my machine that is causing this? ありがとう。

It could have done something, SharePort connects you straight to the printer, so you install drivers for the printer that are configured to connect via usb, if they weren't uninstalled properly then there may be some redundancy that is causing the slowness, try removing all of the printers listed in “Printers & Faxes” and reinstall the network printer driver, unfortunately printer drivers are tricky to remove completely but that should at least remove some connection to the old (USB SharePort) drivers.

ありがとう。 Where exactly would I find the “network printer driver?”
Date: May 20, 2009
Time: 3:51 pm
Well when you have all your printers uninstalled and you find the printer over the network windows should prompt to install the printer, you may have to right click it and click connect if double clicking doesn't work, here's an example:
Often it will get the driver for the printer from the other computer or windows update so you don't have to find it, however if it asks for a driver simply use the printer's driver cd and it will install those instead.

Hello all, I noticed you guys are posting on the shareport Utility.
I just wanted to give you guys out there a heads up on the New firmware for DIR655 (ver 1.31) that requires you to upgrade the shareport utility to ver 1.10
It seems there is a bug in the utility or the firmware. Once installed the utility is able to “see” the printer and connect to it with the connect button, however, if you want to be able to connect to the printer automatically (like with ver 1.14)your not going to be able too.
After spending a couple of hours on the phone with Dlink and various support personnel, I was finally told by a “software specialist” that it will not work and I will have to manually connect every time I want to print.
Some may thinks, that's no big deal just hit the connect button, but when you have several computers and they all want to print from that particular printer it can be a hassle to go to every machine and connect then disconnect.
So if you decide you want to upgrade your firmware, keep this bit of info in mind.
Until then I have to wait till another software upgrade to become available and hope that it resolves the problem.
Oh! and by the way once you upgrade the routers' firmware to ver 1.31 you CAN NOT revert back to the previous one.

Thanks for the information, I wasn't aware of the bug in the newer version, hopefully they fix them all later on, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Hey Ben,
Thanks for the tutorial and screenshots. I have tried your method to set up the SharePort 1.14 with my DIR-655 Firmware V. 1.21. It is working well. ありがとう！
Initially, the print job encountered a problem. I just restart the print job and use SharePort to disconnect with the printer then reconnect again, then it starts printing as normal.
ありがとう！

I am also interested in the D-Link DIR-655 and I want to connect my USB hard disk to it as some kind of mini-NAS. Has anyone here successfully connected a USB hard disk yet and (more importantly) tested the speed you can achive through this connection? Thanks a lot in advance,
David

Time: 9:38 pm
Connecting a hard disk works however the connection is limited to USB 1.1 speeds (12 Megabits/Second or 1.5 Megabytes/Second), so it's quite slow, generally not recommended if you're going to be transferring large files.

Hey…
Anyone know if the usb utility can be used when the router is configured static as an access point? I ask because I have had no luck in doing so. '-'
Thanks in advance for any help.
Date: June 16, 2009
Time: 10:20 am
I just upgraded to the latest firmware…
Firmware Version : 1.31NA, 2009/04/24
Besides the Web Environment not working in Opera, the speeds for the SharePort with a USB2.0 HDD are really slow… I get from 800KB/s to 2MB/s… while I think USB2.0 directly connected should be around 30MB/s.
Date: June 16, 2009
Time: 12:42 pm
Hi Julio,
SharePort only works at USB 1.1 speeds and you're getting the correct speeds for that. I wouldn't recommend hard drive usage with it as there have been a few people talk about losing data when the software/connection decides to act up.

Hi Ben,
I am from India.
Recently bought the DIR 655. (H/w Ver: A3 & F/w Ver: 1.11WW)
and couldn't use the usb port for accessing the external hard disc or a printer. on calling the tech support, they said the hardware version you are using doesn't support this feature, it should be A4.
Is this the problem of h/w ver. or F/w version.
Date: July 9, 2009
Time: 12:53 pm
I don't think they have been telling the truth there, the A3 can use SharePort, however you will need to upgrade to a newer firmware version to be able to use this, either a 1.2x version or a 1.3x version, keep in mind if you upgrade to the 1.3x series of firmware you will not be able to downgrade again.
Date: July 11, 2009
Time: 2:18 am
thanks a lot Ben for clearing this confusion. I have another query. After speaking to the D Link tech support, they say if i upgrade the firmware version, then the warranty on the product won't be valid. so should i just go ahead with the upgrade.
and why do you think after upgrading the firmware, i may need to downgrade it again.
Date: July 11, 2009
Time: 1:09 pm
When it comes to the 1.3x firmwares they do have problems that the 1.2x series don't have, but they do fix a few problems with SharePort that were causing a few users to not be able to use it, all DIR-655 routers respond differently to different firmwares so what works for one may not work properly for another.
To be safe I would recommend using a 1.2x version firmware to use at first, if it doesn't work properly for whatever reason you can downgrade the firmware back to the version you currently have.
Most people have only a few problems with 1.31 but if you want to readup on these check out the D-Link Forums here

Had the same problem with SharePort not finding the USB-printer (connected to a DIR-825 router) on one my computers. Tried updating firmeware, s/w, just about everything, but no. At one time though, it did find the device, which set me off thinking. This might just sound stupid: but don't touch the mouse (USB-connecdted) while rebooting”. Works for me every time!!! Anybody that could understand why?
Date: July 24, 2009
Time: 6:09 pm
That is a very odd solution for it, but if it works then I would encourage people to test it out if they have that issue, doesn't hurt to try. Perhaps disconnecting such usb devices while rebooting would also work?

I connect Buffalo Drive Station external usb harddisk to my DIR-655. Before I use Network USB Utility to access the harddisk, the router is working fine (no disconnection when surfing internet). However, after I connect to my external harddisk via Network USB Utility and then try to copy files to the harddisk, every time after a few seconds, the connection to the router is broken. I have to reboot my computer.
Does anyone encounter this problem? How can I solve this? ありがとうございます。

I had a problem with Shareport (1.14) not detecting my Seagate 1 TB USB HDD connected to my DIR-855 (1.12EU)
It would only detect if i connected my laptop (Vista) to the DIR-855 through cable, not wireless.
Problem was resolved after disabling my ethernet adapter, keeping only the wifi adapter enabled, then rebooting.
So it seems like Shareport “locks” onto the initial adapter used for connecting.
Now it works like a charm, with no noticeable delay r/w on the HDD vs connecting directly to the laptops usb-port.

こんにちは
I have read the dfferent posts but not seem people having a similar problem…
FW : 1.32NA
1 computer with Vista, 1 with XP
Bought the router last week.
Globally it works fine but I have problems using the shareport utility frequently.
If I want to print :
When I switch the router on, it connects to the printer (Samsung ML2510) and everything works fine. The page prints.
If the router is up for a few hours and I want to print, the router sees the printer, shows it as “available” but is not able to connect to the printer. It always tries (can see the trying to connect to samsung ML2510, please wait). The message stops and comes back 2 seconds after and even after 10 minutes it is still not able to connect to the printer.
If I reboot the router, everything works fine.
If I wait a few more hours, same pattern, not able to connect to the printer except if I reboot the router.
Do you have any ideas ?
ありがとうございました！

Same problem here, works fine and dandy after install but a day or two later you try to connect, it says connecting, times out in a refresh to available status, and nothing. I'm so frustrated with this shareport utility and every time I call customer svc some Indian person with the thickest accent I've heard answers the phone. I bought this router specifically for this feature and it's very broken. It's a huge oversight on an otherwise excellent router. Anyone have any ideas?

I have done that, but again you will have to do it every 2 days. If I reboot the computer it sometimes shows 2 of the same usb device. I will have to scrap the whole idea and share the damn thing through a networked PC. What a joke, get it right the first time…Is it that hard to fix it?

The router is shutting down?
As in off completely or a reboot?
If it's turning off then you may have a much bigger but slightly less common problem with it, if it's rebooting then I'd still suggest to give D-Link a call/email and see if you can get it replaced with a new one.

Spoke with DLink tech support yesterday, and after an HOUR of trying to get the SharePort to work, I was transferred to a 4th support agent who actually knew what he was talking about. Within seconds, he informed me that not all devices are supported, and that DLINK will not publish a list of devices that are. My 250GB Western Digital USB drive will not work, which defeats the purpose of paying extra for the SharePort feature.

Bonjour,
I had similar Shareport issues two weeks ago. I wrote to DLink and their answer solved my problem. I take the liberty to show it below in the hope it will help somebody. IN my case I was not using the proper version of the Shareport utility.
With the firmware 1.32NA make sure that the shareport utility that you using is version 1.10. This can be downloaded from the following link http://www.dlink.ca/products/?pid=530

Having the same problem as jimmey above.
Got a DIR-655 V1.21 and shareport V1.15, running on a vista laptop. I use a Dynex 7port USB hub on the router.
Seems like I can use 2 Lexar thumb drives fine and can use my IPOD hook up fine as well as my HP printer, all @ once if i wanted but if i hooked up my 500GB lacie external HD it sends windows explorer into (not responding) after i try to connect. tried the same HD just into slots on laptop and no problems.
WTF!
Thinking maybe this HD is incompatible as well.
Any idea's of which HD's will work?

There are many usb storage devices that don't work at all and more that don't work properly, I haven't heard anything from D-Link about any reasons why.
Is the hub self powered? The hard drive may be after more power than the router can supply to it, a hub with it's own power source may be able to provide enough power instead.

hi here is jean from germany…
i have trouble setting up my printer to the router above and i really need some help on it.
first at all im using the dlink dir-655 router (Version A2). the first thing i did was updating the firmware up to the latest 1.32NA. after that i configured my internet and all the network settings. it works just fine but here is my problem: i cant setting up my printer (a canon pixma ip4500). under the setting usb-settings i just dont have the possibility to choose usb, only shareport or wcn configuration. i already installed the sharport utility (version 1.15) on my computer. the printer drivers are installed too.
before i used a separate printserver. but i cant use it anymore because i switched to wpa2 and draft-n in my whole network. the printserver doesnt work with it so i need the usb port on the router.
i also tried to change the connection type to an ip-port on my computer. i did all the settings (ip-adress of the router, lpr with byte counting and stuff) but it doesnt work. my printer doesnt get shown online on the shareport utility. how can i make my printer work???
very thanx for your help.

its jean again…
my problem changed a little. i kicked off the shareport utility v1.15 from my computer and i reinstalled v1.10. now the utility shows my printer online. the drivers are still installed of my printer.
but i still dont get my printer work. even its connected. i guess i need to configure the connection settings on the port settings of the printer local on my computer, because its not working about the settings in the shareport utility.
how do i get my printer work??? thanx a lot.

Try to reinstall that printer driver to your computer and test print to make sure it works then from there connect that printer USB cable to the router. Now it must works.

I agree, it seems the printer is being correctly connected to, remove any cases of that printer that you already have installed as they would be pointing to the wrong device location and then reinstall the printer to change the location from a network device (before) to a virtual usb port (now on shareport).

I guess that can be in the http://192.168.0.1/Advanced/Gaming.shtml at ADVANCED/PORT FORWARDING and check your Computer name/select + IP/add, to allow it can see TCP/UDP in range of 19540 ? Since mine is working with 1.32NA vs 1.10 Shareport and I did not know much so I try not to touch anything and if kk can give us the correct answer what had been done, that would be fantastic.

The only problem I have with it is that you can't forward that port to more than one computer and if it does work by forwarding to only one of the computers then I'm not sure how it would change anything, unless it's some sort of bug in the router.
Date: October 26, 2009
Time: 11:10 am
I assume as Dlink or someone stated that the shareport can only be used for users one at a time, so I also assume the Router Admin can go ahead input all computer name + its IP into the port forwarding list, be readied for users to use as one person at a time. Well if FW 1.32NA + SP 1.10 work as it is, why not just use this configuration, make it simple. My thought.

hello people, its jean again.
i still have this problem to connect my printer but now i can be more specific. i tested it on different computers in my network and it only works on my netbook… so here is what i did:
i connected the printer to the router via usb. the shareport utility shows my printer as available. if i want to connect it, it works just fine (on my netbookk). now i plugged off the printer and i plugged on an usb-hub on my router. now i plugged in a second device, my printer again and an optical disk drive. the utility shows both as available and the connection works fine too on my netbook, even with both devices at the same time.
but this only works on my netbook. maybe (i think) it really must have to do anything with a port opening on my other computers. on my netbook it works. i have win home on it. unfortunately it doesnt work on my other computers in my network (i have win pro on each one on it).
i already know that i only can connect one computer to those devices. even when i disconnect the devices from my netbook, i cant get them run on an other machine. the utility shows those devices on my other computers as available but i damn cant get it connected there.
now im really out of advice here and i need some help. someone please need to tell me how it works with the port opening or some other reason.
PLEASE HELP. thanx alot.

Many people have insisted that re-flashing the firmware on the router does wonders for it's reliability but I'm not such a fan, but it's always worth a try.
It's a good sign that the devices can be seen at least on the other PCs, is there any form of firewall or antivirus software that the other PCs have that isn't installed on the netbook?
I notice from your previous comments that you are already on 1.32, so flashing the firmware shouldn't cause any harm, I would recommend trying the firmware here , it fixes a SharePort bug of some kind, it may be the bug that you are experiencing. At the very least some users that have had trouble with 1.32NA have reported that the firmware just works better anyway, which could be caused any number of things from a better flash to it's ability to wipe the settings. I'm *still* yet to test how SharePort works with it, but I may do so shortly.
The port forwarding idea above is interesting, but doesn't sound practical as SharePort is automatic and port forwarding is not, so you would be forever going in and changing the port forwarding options to each PC.
Date: October 28, 2009
Time: 7:37 pm
last night i tried that thing about opening a port on the router and -how surprising- it doesnt work either.
i need to know how to open this port on the other computers, i dont know. maybe this works.
i have already thought about switching back to an older version of the firmware on the router. but i think that would not change anything. its how you said before, its a good sign, that the devices are shown as available on the other computers.
by the way i have installed on each machine the same antivir software, service pack 3 and included the windows firewall. the only thing different on my netbook is, i have xp home on it and xp pro on the others. oh yes on each machine i also have peer guardian installed.
i doesnt work even if i terminate the task of peer gaurdian or the other firewall software. there is also no way to change something in the win registry about the shareport utility.
so how does this work with the port opening or do you have some other advice maybe i should try to get back to an older version of the firmware.
thanx alot.
Date: October 28, 2009
Time: 7:53 pm
For starters I would recommend the fixed firmware here as it really has helped with SharePort's connectivity and stability for me, you can also try going to the earlier firmware as well, I think 1.30 or 1.31 supports the older version that seemed to work well for people.
I don't know how the whole port forwarding thing is supposed to work and it just seems really strange to me.
I don't think the software you are running would cause any problems as I also run them on the computers that don't have SharePort issues.
This is a little off-topic but I started using PeerBlock a few months ago, it's a recent fork of PeerGuardian where they have performed many fixes and even have a signed driver, I highly recommend it if you find PeerGuardian to be a little unstable/slow like I did.

Some of these drives, especially the newer ones need extra USB power to turn on fully and I don't believe the router has the power capability in the USB port to do so, if you have a self-powered 4 port usb hub or anything like that you can try connecting through it as it should have the necessary power.
If you a clicking sound that happens every 1-2 seconds at a regular interval from the drive when it's plugged into that port it's a sign that it's not getting the power that it needs as it is stuck in the power up cycle, my external USB drive does the same thing if it connects to a port that doesn't have enough power for it.
Officially D-Link insist that large drives do actually work, just in reality people are finding that it's hit and miss.

Every time the installation is almost completed, the computer goes into “bluescreen”, and I have to restart it. The same happens again if I try to run the program.
The only time I manage to run the program is when I disconnect any network connection…but then I don't have much use for the software…
Do any of you have any ideas why my computer crashes??
please reply!

Find any software that the computers share in common, for example security or Anti-virus software and try disabling them while you do the install and see if it occurs during, some software needs to be uninstalled before it will let it work properly though.
It seems that it may be caused by the network card's driver or some service running on it like the security software from above.
The easiest way to know for certain what specifically is causing it is to Google search the message that appears in your blue screen, usually just the error code(s) are needed, if it states a .sys file then you can search and find what it's for.
Usually a driver update can help but if it's occurring on multiple PCs with different hardware then it's probably some software conflicting with SharePort, it is very picky and in many cases will not install with certain software installed.

I have DIR-655 firmware 1.21
Network USB Utility 0.93
3 computers on network
2 computers recognize and can connect to the usb printer (an HP Laserjet 1200) through Network USB Utility with no problems.
3rd computer has been able to connect with no problems for months until upgrade to version 1.15 from the program. After install both version 0.93 and 1.15 were present but neither saw the router. Uninstalled 0.93 and 1.15 still did not see router. Uninstalled 1.15 and reinstalled 0.93 and 0.93 still did not see router. Uninstalled 0.93. Removed referrences in HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / D-Link and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / D-Link to both 0.93 and 1.15. Restored factory default on DIR-655. Reset all settings. Reinstalled 0.93 but still no connection to router.
When right clicking on the red icon in the taskbar on the 3rd computer, the menu does not include the top portion that lists the router name and ip. The top of the box is right above Advanced Options. The router name and ip are present on the 1st and 2nd computers.
I have hit a frustrating dead end. I do not understand why this no longer works on this computer. Other than my previous attempt to upgrade to 1.15 through the network usb utility program itself there are no other software changes on the 3rd computer. I'd be grateful for any ideas on how to fix…

To remove HKEY completely, you may need the Registry cleaner such as http://www.yamicsoft.com/ or I guess you can Restore your system to the old Point before the date you installed 1.15 if that Point is still available in your System Tool / System Restore.
I suspect your 3rd computer must has something not compatible in the Window itself or so ?

I do have restore points prior to the installation of 1.15 but all attempts to restore to these points fail. I will look at the registry cleaner next.

Registry cleaned and defrag'd. Smart uninstaller utilized to ensure Network USB Utility and Shareport completely uninstalled (it did find a registry key I did not previously locate). Unfortunately, after doing a fresh install of the Network USB Utility ver. 0.93 from the disk that came with the router, it still doesn't display the D-Link Router at the top of the menu displayed when right-clicking on the icon. The utility is still red – not recognizing the network and the utility states no usb devices are connected to the network. I am connected to the network and have internet access. The other computers on the network are recognizing the device and network through the USB Utility. Some fragment of the previous 1.15 install must still be screwing this up…

Even with registry cleaner, sometimes user has to reboot and reclean by two or more passes as my experienced and surprised some still shows up.

Hello – glad I found this thread/forum.
I purchased ( just 2 weeks ago ) a D-Link ( my first ) DIR-628 SPECIFICALLY for the Shareport feature.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit on my main system… and I've flashed the router firmware to the latest rev. and have downloaded the latest Shareport util. I've been on the phone several times with D-Link ( support ) and they pretty much have given up… with the last word being “Sorry, doesn't work with Windows 7″… watch for an update to this utility.
I figured I could make this work in a Virtual Machine running WinXP Pro~32bit as the guest OS… still nothing. Is this just a waste of my time and money ? Should I return the router and get a NetGear ?
I've never owned a D-Link before… are they a reputable company with good intentions to make their products work ( even if I have to wait for some update ? ) ?
Thanks in advance !
Cheers, Sean

The SharePort Utility works with Windows 7 (x86/x64) just fine, in theory it should always work, it's just that it is easier for them to say it doesn't as I don't think they support Windows 7 officially with their current range of routers yet.
D-Link have made progress with their SharePort software but it takes them a lot of time to fix things and they don't seem too enthusiastic about it anymore.
D-Link used to be a reputable company with good intentions…
Netgear routers are pretty good, their latest range beat D-Link's hands down IMO

I have not been able to fix this problem. I have uninstalled the program using the software at http://www.yamicsoft.com/ and cleaned the registry many, many times. Whatever happened when I chose to upgrade to the SharePort Utility 1.15 from within the Network USB Utility program has modified some file on my computer that is not getting fixed when the program is uninstalled…even when it is all completely uninstalled and the registry cleaned. I know that the failed, attempted upgrade did not modify the router because the other computers in my residence that are using version 0.93 of the Network USB Utility (and which never underwent the attempted upgrade to 1.15) continue to be able to print to the printer connected to the usb port on the router. Its just this, my computer, on which I had attempted the upgrade. I have even installed the software on a laptop and had it wirelessly connected to the router and it could print from the printer. So something has been changed on the computer as a result of the installation of 1.15 that doesnt show up when uninstalling the program. The change has to do with this computer's recognition of the server ip address because when Network USB Utility 0.93 is reinstalled it fails to recognize the network or list it in the box you get from right clicking the utility icon on the task bar. This computer is connected to the router and does have internet access as this is the computer i am posting this message with. Any ideas on what file may have been modified by 1.15 so I can attempted to fix it. My only other option is a complete reinstall of all my programs on a new hard drive…I would like to avoid that.

Jeff, I had the same problem after doing a firmware upgrade on my 635. I had to disable the “auto channel scan” (located in wireless settings) which allowed me to fix the routers channel to channel [x]. I also checked that my “transmission rate” was set to “auto”. HTH
Secondly, with the shareport I can get my 1TB hard drive to work but not my 3 Mobile 3G modem. I believe I have set it up correctly and my ISP is listed in the WWAN ISP dialogue box. Any further tips???

Hi Jeff
I have exactly the same problem. 3 notebooks, 2 work fine with SharePort, one simply refuses to see the router / usb devices. All computers have the same setup, OS, security, but something obviously must be different and I just can't figure out what it is. I tried everything and I consider myself quite computer savvy. Any success stories from your side in the meantime?

I see some of you have got sharepoint to work, good for you. I cant seem to get it to work at all. What a load of bxllxcks! I'm in the UK and have 1.21EU firmware and tried to use 1.15 sharepoint sofware, the router is Version A5. I just get a series of what sounds (like a usb device being plugged in and then out). As a wireless router it is good but I have to say I didnt do enough research and was expecting the usb port to work. Don't buy this thing if you need a NAS style sharing thing. I haven't tried my printer and probably won't waste my time doing so.

I had a similar problem. Turned out to be the Windows Firewall, of all things.

Question – rather than have one device operate from 3 computers, can you operate 3 devices (laser, inkjet and storage) from one computer using a usb 2.0 4 point hub (for example) on the router?

Do i need to install printer drivers on all my computers using the shareport printer? Seems like there are no working printer drivers (Canon LBP 2900) on my laptop running under Win 7 64-bit version. Are there any solutions?

You must install printer drivers on all computers, if there aren't any for your operating system then you're out of luck.

I am operating on windows xp PRO with a D-Link DIR-655 router (Firmware Version: 1.21) and I have installed the the latest SharePort utitity (version 3.0.0 R1).
I am trying to connect my iosafe solo 1.5 TB external HD to my router via USB either through my computer or the USB port on the back of the router. The problem I am having is that the SharePort Utility simply cannot detect my hard drive. I have added it and SXUPTP to my list of exception for Windows firewall. I have configured my external hard drive for file sharing by right clicking on the drive icon and manually selecting the settings through sharing and security.I have tried using a different USB cord. I have also tried uninstalling/reinstalling the SharePort Utility
I am not sure if the problem lies with the SharePort Utility or with the iosafe freeware. I read quite a few blogs and support forums and i seem to be the only one having this problem that i know of. 私は別の外付けハードドライブを残念なことにテストする必要はありません。
