I was not able to perform the setup on the Freetalk when it was connected to my router, but was able to perform setup when the freetalk was connected directly to the modem port.
I experienced the disconnection from the internet issue every time I connected the Freetalk to my d-link router (wbr-1310), so aftetrying a few things and updating the firmware, I contacted d-link tech support about this but they couldn't solve the problem after trying in many ways. They gave up and told me the Dlink wbr-1310 may not be compatible with Voip items so I should keep on connecting directly via the modem port, but that didn't make sense and wasn't acceptable to me because of the location limitation that would cause.
AvionNomad; Your comment about disabling the router upnp has solved the problem, I can now connect the freetalk to the router and maintain the internet connection to other items connected to the router.
Thank you very much avionnomad and all,

I stated that disabling UPnP in the router was recommended for security reasons that are completely unrelated to the ATA
It should NOT be necessary to do this for the ATA to work. or to avoid interference with other network activities
this particular aspect is an unresolved issue which should be reported and investigated, since Freetalk (or Skype for that matter) DOES NOT require or recommend that UPnP be disabled in the router

It should be noted as well that some router/AP's do not deal well with UPnP enabled and can cause internet connection issues, if this is the case, then it becomes important to be able to get to the device using other methods. Which is why this subject belongs here as well.
