I have the same issue as stated above with the dir-890l, Worked great for a bout 6-8 months but now has MAJOR connection issues. My mac pro see's the wifi signal but can't connect!!!! It will how ever connect every time to my wifi extender which sits beside me??????? Same with my wife's samsung phone,my lg tv and my tenants tv, despite the fact the extender is the furtherest away of the lot !!
