Thanks for the reply, but I confirmed it does have built-in gigabit capabilities.

Hey c.d.e, any thoughts or comments on my Terminal info? As an update, I managed to get a WirelessN PCI card up and running and connected successfully to the DGL wirelessly with no degradation in internet speed so far. Luckily I'm not doing any file transfers between computers. It's a...

D'oh... false alarm. For some reason the Utility app that came with my PCI card required 2 restarts to self activate... weird. Got everything connected properly with my DIR-625 now. Will give the DGL a shot soon and post results in the other related thread if anyone's interested.

The ordeal continues. I just received an Edimax wireless PCI network adapter that I ordered in hope that it would solve my DGL-4500/G5 woes. Installation went fine and everything seems to functioning properly from a hardware perspective, but my Link Speed is holding firm at 0 Mb and I can't...

Ok, here are my results. Disconnected: ifconfig en0 en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:0d:93:6e:dd:64 media: autoselect (none) status: inactive supported media: none autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP...

Thanks for the reply c.d.e... I'll give that a whirl tomorrow and post the results. For starters, this is the result while still connected to my DIR-625: ifconfig en0 en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20d:93ff:fe6e:dd64%en0...

I kinda figured that, but isn't it conceivable that the Cat6 cable could be the problem? Or should I just try some new Cat6 cables?

Indeed. :D Yes, I have had only the G5 connected to the router, well, it and my modem. I just purchased an Edimax nMax Wireless 802.11n PCI Card from OWC. Hopefully it will get here early next week and hopefully it will work! Hardwiring isn't imperative. I could very well be the result...

Hey Duster, for the short time that I can actually manage to get the DGL to see my G5, it shows as being 1000BaseT as it does on my MacBook (1Gb). The 100baseTX in my thread title was, thankfully, a false alarm. Thanks for the post! I'm pretty much convinced it's a PPC thing. The only...

Thanks very much for the reply TechLarry. I suppose I could give all fresh cables I shot, but I'm still left wondering why it is that my Intel MacBook connects to the DGL without issue using the exact same cables. I'm looking at my MacBook's Network Utility right now that states it is...

Yeah, I might, but I might just return it. I know for sure that my built-in is gigabit ready so I'm starting to lose confidence that I'll be able to get this router working on a G5. Macworld is around the corner anyhow and then it'll be 8core MacPro time.

Well, it turns out my Ethernet port isn't the issue. I tried plugging the DGL in directly (by mistake actually) and it showed as being 1000BaseT in my System Profiler. I just purchased a DGE-530T and installed it. Sadly, my G5 doesn't recognize that there is a card installed in the PCI slot...

Hey archivalbackup, I was mid-reply when you posted this. See above regarding the cables. The ones I'm currently using are Cat6. I switched the one coming from my router to the supplied and still no dice. I don't know how to manually set my ethernet port on my computer or if I even can...

Whoa... lots of replies. Thanks! As noted, I am on a Mac. G5 tower. My System Profiler says under Ethernet: Media Subtype: 100baseTX I've tried different cables including the one that came with my router so I don't think that's the problem. And I know it's not the router because I can...

Hey folks, I was just on the line with D-Link about my DGL-4500 and my PowerMac G5 not getting along. Their initial suspicion was that I didn't have Gigabit ethernet. I was convinced that I do and sure enough, everymac.com says my machine came with Gigabit standard and my manual says I...

Unfortunately it doesn't, otherwise I'd just use that for now until I get a MacPro after Macworld assuming of course that it will work. *crosses fingers* No call from the "product specialist" yet, but I expect it today.

I've only found FW 1.01, but people keep mentioning 1.02... am I missing something?

Thanks for the reply TechLarry. I just got off the phone with D-Link again. I was finally able to get transferred to their 2nd tier support which only resulted in having a product specialist call in the next couple business days because I've done all the trouble-shooting possible. Right...

Hello folks, I just picked up a DGL-4500 to replace my DIR-615 which was working well enough, but I figured I could bump up my wireless range/speed as well as my LIVE connection at once. The problem is that for some reason, my DGL just won't be seen by my PowerMac G5 when connected via...
