Has anyone else experienced this and is this a result of the upgrade/reboot sequence? If so, these would be the only times an upgrade has caused this after having the Z100G for about nine months. Here's the deal:

Recently, the WLAN configuration has automatically gone into the disabled state on two occassions. The last time was November 14th, which may have been caused by the upgrade to 8.0.35x. The previous time, about a week or so ago, I did not notice if an upgrade was done prior to losing the WLAN. The WLAN configuration is still there, it just goes from "bridged" to "disabled".

The default security is set to "high", and virtually all known threats are set to "block" (as well as having firewall rules to block all incoming from all Asian and some European IP address blocks). Router/firewall is set to only be admin accessed from LAN, and user/password strength is very high. I also use MAC-specific filtering for dhcp and have limited dhcp to only four addresses (for the four clients), as well as limiting the total NAT address space to those four IP's. WLAN is set to require WPA-2 (AES), the SSID is not broadcast, and a very lengthy and scrambled passphrase is used and changed about once a month. Basically, I think it's as tight as I can get it...unless I'm missing something! Also, the Z100G is on a UPS, so it's not rebooting due to loss of power.

Is the router being hacked or somehow compromised!?

Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated.
