After tech support helped me turn off MAC filtering, the Nokia connected successfully.
It's odd because I use MAC filtering on my DIR-655 (rev. 1.11) with my N800 and it works great. I manually add devices to my inside network via MAC filtering all the time and it works flawlessly. So the client software is trial only but, given my situation, manually adding clients stills functions normally?
