That was the timeout thingy I mentioned earlier. If you set it to "always on" the timer should be disabled, and hence you don't need to set the timer at all. I can't recall if resetting my router erases *all* of such user settings, but I think it does -- including the password, BTW, I recently learned something interesting from an ATT support tech (in India): resetting (i.e. rebooting) the router by pushing the little button with the end of a paperclip is *not* equivalent to disconnecting/reconnecting the power and *then* pushing the reset button. I.E. there is some state of the internal hardware that is not reset by pushing the reset button on the router. I had tried everything I could think of *except* powering off the DLS modem and the router at the same time, and then letting both power up again. That fixed everything. I imagine these annoying quirks will differ between products, so we all may need different bags of tricks to fix such problems.
