My old Belkin F5D7230-4 Wireless Router stopped working. I bought a new D-Link DIR-815 Wireless N Dual Band Router. However I am having trouble setting up this new D-Link router when I use their Quick Router Setup Wizard CD. I kept getting stuck by this same error message:
-------------------------
Router Setup requires a wired network adapter to continue.
If your PC has a wired network adapter (i.e. ethernet port), then follow these steps:
1) Enable your wired network adapter.
2) Click Retry to try installing your router again.

Thanks for your help.
