Hi Everyone,
Whenever I power off my DIR-890L, I need to reconfigure the whole router because the internet light always stays amber. This is getting really annoying and wondering if i should just return the router and buy another.
Is anyone else experiencing any issues like this? I am running 1.08b03.
Thanks,

Thanks,
What kind of modem are you using (cable / DSL)? Try power cycling the modem, and then turn on the 890L. I remember when I first set up the 890L, it displayed the "amber light". I unplugged the 890L and power cycled my cable modem. After the cable modem was ready, I turned on the 890L and everything worked like it should.
