I have a problem with the wireless on the DI-524 router.
Problem is, the router will keep restarting while wireless is on. unless I keep a ping running to the router.
When the wireless is off the router is fine, no restarts.
Any idea why this is happening?

• Upgrade firmware at http://support.dlink.com/downloads. If you have the latest version, flash it again
• Disable UPnP(TM) if not being used on both your computer (ME or XP) and on the router (Tools - Misc).
• If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems),
your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop completely.
Even if the phone is not in use, the base is still transmitting.
Make sure the base of the phone is as far away from your wireless devices as possible.
• Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF noise, like microwaves, Monitors, electric motors, UPS units, etc.
• Check the log on your router. Is it showing a large amount of traffic?
--------------------------
Worst case scenario -- start over.
• Perform a hard reset on the router and reconfigure. With the unit powered on, use a paperclip and hold down the reset button for 10-15 seconds. Release and wait about 20 seconds. DO NOT power off while holding the reset button.
Possibly a neighbor has a 2.4 GHz device (phone, networking product, etc) that is interfering with your network or the like.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
