Howdy!
I was wondering if someone could help me. I've been trying to set up a wireless network behind my adsl router. The first problem I'm having is the D-Link (Dir-615) wireless router seems to "forget" it's settings, particularly if I disconnect the power to it. The only remedy when this happens seems to be to run the set-up wizard again.

The other issue is the adsl modem that the wirelss router is behind wants to create a DMZ for it. I just don't like that idea much. Is there any way I can set up the wireless router behind the software firewall? eg use a second ethernet port to connect the wireless router to the computer so that the adsl gateway's path to the pc is unaffected?

The main purpose of the wireless router would be to share the internet with a Wii (and further down the track) another pc/laptop.

Any help would be appreciated.
