Win 7 Wireless Connection Issue

When connecting to the router the tray icon will say "connected" but "no internet access". It takes a good minute before I get "internet access".

Is this normal?

I've never had that issue. Make sure the router's firmware is up to date, see if that helps.

Could be that. The fact that it's crappy. I've had problems with crappy routers/modems before and since I bought the DIR-655 I've never had any problems.

I disabled 'auto channel' and set 'Wireless Channel' to 13. It has a choice 1-13. Seems OK now.
