Have you tried my suggestion? It really did fix it right up for me. Both my Direct TV receiver and my Honeywell thermostat had the problem.

I am interested in trying this suggestion. I'm not very astute on IT matters...if I'm not hardwired to the router, after I uncheck "enable wireless radio" and hit apply, will I still be able to wirelessly connect to the router to recheck and hit apply? In other words, will my computer still be able to log into the router admin panel wirelessly to reject the box? I use a wheelchair it's just not physically possible for me right now to hardwire my device into the router, if necessary.
