I was really skeptical of the other notes about the dropped connections, so got a DIR-825. I can cause the drop consistently by just bringing up a couple of tabs in Safari. DLINK Support first told me to change some settings, then concluded it was a defective router. I got a new one, and the same thing happens. There is clearly a severe design error here. I'm surprised they don't do something to correct it. Not only is it frustrating for the consumer, but the calls to support and the returns have to be expensive to DLINK. I'm also surprised that the forum here doesn't get replied to or that the phone support personnel don't seem to be aware of the issue.
