    Hey farmerhugh

    That does sound odd! Before you go out and spend money, I believe we do still have some D-Link routers in stock here. I can send you a free router from our warehouse and see if that fixes your problem? Let me know!

    Thanks

farmerhugh, 

If you look to the left on the picture you posted, you'll see a setting that says "Change Adapter Settings" (pic 1).  Click on that.  Right click on the adapter (mine says Ethernet) (pic 2) and click Properties.  Then click "Configure" (pic 3).  After clicking Configure, click on "Power Management" (pic4).  Then you should see the picture that Gwalk posted.  Make sure the highlighted item is NOT checked.  If it is, uncheck it and click Okay.
