I do like D-Link's "Static DHCP" feature and hope I can find another wireless AP with that...

It is a common feature these days. You can also run a software DHCP server, or you can set up the server machine with a static address (where it never asks for DHCP since it is preconfigured).

Re: DI-524 bios 1.05 disconnects

Robb as you have followed this thread, I wanted to add that AFTER I got an RMA to send-back my brand-new DI-524 (buy.com) for its random resets, it occurred to me that: maybe the 524, wired & used as an access point only (no WAN connection) should never have been asked to issue "Static DHCP" at all to my wireless client? My main WAN gateway/router is a Linksys, and altho I have DHCP disabled on the Linky, maybe I should never have asked the 524 to issue IPs? Then again even w/all Log options selected, there was nothing in the log to suggest any problem.

OK so I disabled DHCP completely on the 524, then set the Linky to DHCP an IP to my wireless client (via the 524 I mean of course) and while it worked fine I didn't leave it "up" in this configuration long enough to see if I got any further resets. I'd already bought a new AP today and was anxious to set it up in the 524's place.

This is my final nagging thought about this--I hate to give-up on a product, but I'll be sending the 524 back anyway without doing any more testing.

That's true. DHCP should have been off -- issuing no dynamic or static IPs.

The log would not have picked this up.
