Denon 1912 AVR Connection to Bridge - HELP!

I am new to the forum, so please be patient with me. I purchased a new Denon model 1912 AVR recently. I upgraded to it in order to use internet functions - internet radio, etc. I cannot place it close enough to my routuer (an Apple Airport Extreme) in order to plug it directly into the router via an ethernet cable. So, I purchased a DLink DAP 1522 Bridge. I now have the Denon hooked to the Dlink bridge via the ethernet cable. When I first powered up the Denon and try to connect to the internet for radio, it worked like a charm. The next day I tried it and it would not connect. Later that same day I tried it and it connected again without a problem and I continue to go through this cycle of connecting ok, and not connecting. I called Denon and they told me this unit will not work with a bridge and that it must be connected directly to the router via the ethernet cable. I find this hard to believe as it has connected to the bridge off and on. Heck, yesterday, it connected and I was able to successfully upgrade the firmware for the Denon through the bridge connection. Do any of you have this kind of set up and if so, what am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I must change or should I change the Denon from DHCP setting to a static IP address? Please help me out if you can.

Thanks in advance!

Jd, i am lost. I don't understand what you posted. Does it mean I need to read the manual that came with the unit, or are you referencing a post on here with info? Do you or anyone else know whether this 1912 avr will work with my bridge?

Can anyone help with this issue? If you have a Denon 1912 and have successfully connected it to a bridge, please share with me how you did it.
Thanks!

Thanks, jd. I will give that a try. I am about ready to take everything back and try to get a refund.
Thanks again.

I must be missing something. When I clicked on the link you provided, I saw nothing that would allow me to post a new thread. What am I doing wrong?

I guess this is the end of my help. Thanks to those that tried.

Thanks.
