Last night, I lost my NetFlix connection. It was no biggy, I just restarted the Cheers episode that I had been watching. This morning, I checked the DIR-655 log and the following is what I had found (date and times aren't accurate).

Promiscuous Mode is usually the result of sniffing according to Wiki. Whatever is promiscuous mode. Also, I don't know what device br0 is. I do have my Brother wireless printer connected to the DIR-655 but it's device name is BRW0022581FB096. I was wireless at the time of connection problem, and the wired computer connected to the DIR-655 had been off.

Do you see this entry if you disconnect or turn OFF the printer?
Set up an NTP server to correct the time for the logs.
-
NTS now sets the time. It's accurate but one hour off.
I cleared the log after setting NTS.
I turned the printer off. No new log entries were made by the printer's disconnection.
I turned the print on. No new entries were made by the printer's connection.
The log displays the initial lease of the printer and that's all.

Is DST set or disabled? I have mine disabled as the NTP server should set the correct time regardless of DST.
-
DST is disabled since enabling it didn't make any difference in the time.
The following is from my DIR-655 log:

Apr 27 20:14:42 info UDHCPD Inform: add_lease 192.168.0.102

192.168.0.101 is the Brother MFC-J410W printer.
192.168.0.102 is the laptop which I'm using for this post.
You can see that the printer's lease isn't added like the laptop's lease. Though, a lease is assigned to the printer when I check in the router's network settings (see below). If I turn off the printer and then turn it on, the printer's lease is updated in the router's settings. I never turn off the printer. I just take it for granted that the printer's lease duration is somehow extended even if the printer is never turned off/on.

You can see that the printer is assigned a lease, even though the lease wasn't added like the laptop in the log file. The only difference is that the printer is wireless-g. I have the router set for g/n.

Have you assigned an IP address for the printer ON the router or you letting it DHCP from the router? Try reserving the address.
-
I had had the address reserved. Now I'm trying it via leased DHCP.
The printer's lease renewed (and updated) itself today in the network settings, although no log entry appears.
I just want to make certain the printer isn't the cause of any network bugs. About all I know is, the printer uses the router as an access point.
The lack of not having any lease updates added in the log file does somewhat puzzle me.
