no problems doing config through Mozilla at all. Standard TCP/IP config from my all Intel box through a Linksys LNE100 NIC (using the TULIP driver). It serves a D-Link DWL-2100AP access point on the other side of my house without issue

Performance of the DI-524 was marginal before I upgraded the firmware from version 1.03 to 1.23. That is, the wireless connection was dropped every two hours or so and the only remedy seemed to be to power cycle the DI-524. After upgrading the firmware, it exhibits the same behavior and I can no longer use Firefox to set encryption parameters on the configuration page. I can set these parameters from a SnotBox using Internet Explorer. Short of someone putting a gun to my head, I would never use IE or any of the other crud shoveled up by Micro$not for that matter. If I could revert to the 1.03 firmware, I would be a little happier, but so far 3 e-mail messages to Dlink technical support requesting the 1.03 firmware have led nowhere.
