hello i'm having the same issues i think..... i've tried setting this thing up more than onces and keep getting the same results... i can connect to my internet with the wired cable after the smart wizard setup, everything is working fine ! but when i disconnect it to set it up in the place i wanna put it to get a stronger signal for my wifi, theirs no signal for internet connection for wifi use at all.... i have to leave it connect to the modem for it to work, and this defeats the whole purpose of having this router.... please let me know if i'm missing some steps or do i have to keep it connected to my modem for this router to work !
