I just purchased this DIR-827 wireless router to replace my 3+ year old (and ever frustrating) DIR-655.

Current issues with this router so far:
 - The router's user interface is slow to react much of the time
 - The Status > Wireless page only displays the client list a portion of the time
 - The auto log-out page takes upwards of a minute to get from the screen you timed out on to the login page again.  Display white while in transition.

My desktop access the interface is Win7 with IE9, so there should be any issue with this.  Tried access the UI with Chrome, still performs poorly.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks
J.
