Interesting. Never had that problem with my old D-Link or my new one. I only had to buy a new one because the old one's ADSL modem no longer supported some change to the infrastructure my ISP made. I run my desktop wired, but my wife's desktop, my 2 laptops, my Galaxy tab, wife's iPhone, and her sister's laptop all run wireless and never had an issue in the house (or a few houses down).
