I never would have guessed that it was the HTTPS causing my problem. What morons. Thanks for posting it! Man am I glad I found your post.

I had exactly the same problem... frickin' annoying. Thanks – I struggled with this for about an hour before I stumbled on your post. I had exactly the same problem… frickin’ annoying.

It's a nice little device that's great for home audio or going on vacation to an Ethernet-equipped hotel, but it does not make the cut for a full time home router. And rightly so -- it wasn't designed for this. Lets hope Apple comes out with an A/V model on Monday! I have an AirPort Express and enjoy it a lot, however, I miss having more than one Ethernet port.

If you can't find anything pre-v5 then go with a WRT54GL. The 'L' model "returns to a Linux-based internal OS as opposed to the v5's VxWorks firmware".

I think I'll replace my Dlink with a WRT54G and maybe an airport express later (hopefully they will soon get updated) Thanks.

HTTP is the default method for accessing the device, but by using HTTPS, I unknowingly caused problems. All that aside, I would still recommend the WRT54G. I use a Netgear router at work, and it's *horrible*. We have to reset it at least once a day because it simply locks up.

My old dlink 624+ dies all the time and I need a new router. I want the Airport Express USB and audio things but need extra ethernet for my server. Is the WRT54G a good choise?
