I have exactly the same problem as post starter. Only difference is my version not being -7...

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

If you bought a DWA-131 Rev E, like me, you will find your answer beautifully and thoughtfully solved by MrEngman here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=33588&start=75 (scroll down to "Mon Mar 30, 2015 12:39 pm").

Mr Engman, you're my hero!
