The DIR-825 wireless simply doesn't work.  When I called tech support, we cleared some settings and hard-powered the unit on/off and it finally turned on the wireless radio.  A couple weeks later I pull out my laptop to use in the house via wireless and the wireless on the DIR-825 is OFFLINE AGAIN...fallen and it can't get UP.

Is anyone having issues with keeping their wireless online?  

OK - powered it off for 5 minutes...now the wireless is working.  Good grief.  I think changing configuration settings causes the thing to lock up.

HELP!
