Thanks for your reply Alex.

Yes, the router I'm trying to configure a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH.

The Gigabit Ethernet cards I've installed are D-Link DGE530T.

I am using Windows and the card is set to Auto by default. When I go into "Advanced Properties" for the NIC and set it for "1000/Full" the NIC resets but does not come back online. Only going back to the properties and setting it again for Auto (or 100/Full) will restore the connection.

The drivers are the latest-and-greatest from the D-Link site.

I'm at wits end....I was almost hoping you would have said "Nah, the router won't do gigabit" so I could stop thinking about it :-)

Appreciate your help!

Your router is Gigabit. The firmware does not matter when it comes to Gigabit support, unless it is using a corrupted driver. r16214 works just fine for me. You need to either uninstall and reinstall the Dlink NIC or replace your ethernet cable with either a Cat5e or Cat6.
