[Fwd: D-Link router DI-514 (wireless plus 4 ports) hell]

I was whining in 24hoursupport.helpdesk, and someone referred me here.

I just bought this POS and have been trying to set it up. It won't even
work reliably as a wired router -- it keeps dropping from the WAN, or
just locking up. I plug my old Linksys router back in and power-cycle
everything and it works. I put the D-Link back, power off/on, and it
might work or might not. If it works, it won't work for very long.
When using the D-Link, I can't see local network. I've disabled
ZoneAlarm, just in case it was blocking stuff, and that didn't help.

I did get the wireless part to work intermittantly. The signal strength
is nearly 100%, but I can only connect at 1 or 2 Mbps, and then the
thruput is actually a lot slower than that. Then it locks up. Or it
won't serve DHCP addresess.

Anything I should try before I throw it away?
Is there a different brand that I should try next time?
