I seem to be having a conversation with myself, but I hope it will help someone in the future.

So, just disabling SEP did not seem to work, so I decided to completely uninstall it. Problem fixed.

I guess I'll have to look into another virus program as it will be cheaper than changing out the router, but this seems to be a pretty known and documented problem - shame on DLINK for not putting a sticky on it or making an announcement or FAQ.

If you have Symantec or SEP, install the packet without firewall and use the windows firewall. The firewall in SEP has many problems. Symantec recommend to us to uninstall the syamntec firewall.

OK, I have narrowed this down a little bit.

The Problem is caused by my wired  PC. I have a wired 2008 R2 server running Hyper-V with 2 VM's running iside it, both also attached to the router (via the host NIC).

I little further digging has shown others on this forum to likewise identify a wired PC to be the cause of a "wireless restart" issue. http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=5851.0 in particular.

In the linked post, he was able to narrow it down to the Symantec Endpoint Protection firewall, and guess what? I have SEP on this machine as well!

It also occurred to me that the VM's might be somhow confusing things a bit, so I just shut them down and there was no change. Shutting down the entire server immediately changed from having an average of 2 wireless restarts EVERY MNUTE to none in the past hour.

Restarting the server immiately started the wireless restarts as well.

So, my question is, does anyone know what specific changes I could make to SEP to stop this?

BTW - thanks for the IPv6 suggestion - I may try that too if I can't do something with the SEP plan...

Thanks, but the SEP I had installed was the version without the firewal, and the problem was *still* fixed by uninstalling it.
