I finally got the chance to get back to this customer and adjust the configuration per antinode's recommenadation. Pushing the reset button on the back of the router just rebooted the router, but did not reset the configuration. Found something on the web about a 30/30/30 reset, and that did the job! Was able to verify that it had the latest firmware level. Set it up as a WAP per the user manual and all is well. routerlogin.net does not work (get the web page saying I'm not connected to the router's wifi), but I can access the Admin function via the IP address.
Mahalo nui loa (Thank you very much) for the assistance!
