    I am using an SMC 8Port Barricade Router as a DHCP server. Is this ok?

    I was wondering if my Wireless Access Point configuration settings might have
    something to do with this. I have powersavingmode=off but powersleepmode=100
    is set and I'm wondering if this is the culprit. I havn't figured out how to
    reinitialize powersleepmode and I'm not sure if I should increase are
    decrease the setting.
