I have a strange (but maybe interesting) problem. I have a DIR-825 (hardware rev B1, v2.06 firmware) with 2 guest networks active (one on each frequency). I recently attached a laptop to the network using the computer's PCI NIC, with the wireless card completely turned off. Much to my surprise, Windows (7 Pro) indicated that I was connected to the 2.4GHz guest network. The only place in the router's configuration where the indicated name appears is in the "Guest zone" configuration page, where it asks for an SSID to use for the "wireless guest zone". Not only that, but it was the only connection that I could get for the computer, unless I turned the wireless card back on. That's also interesting because no other computer on the network, connected via cable, displays any "named" connection when viewing the networking properties. They simply show "Network" as their connection. 

Is that actually normal, or even possible for this router? I'm having a hard time trying to get my head around how that works. 

Any ideas? Anyone?

Thanks much!

Did you clear the browser cache after connecting wired and turning OFF the wireless? I presume the wireless was verified as being OFF or disabled.

What browser are you using when managing the 825?
