G550 causes DLink router to reboot every 10 seconds

[EarlGrey · Accepted solution]

After reading in several Lenovo forums that the LEnovo ReadyCom program is faulty, I decided upgrade to Windows 7 and not install Lenovo's REadyCom program. The problem no longer occurs. 

Conclusion #1: Lenovo's ReadyCom program does appear to be the problem.

Conclusion #2: There is a design flaw in DLink and TransNet routers, maybe in all new routers, that permits computers to cause the router to crash & reboot. Think what would happen if a hacker wrote a virus program that exploited this flaw and caused routers everywhere to start crashing.

I consider my original question solved. Thank you.

Uninstalling ReadyComm also appears to have resolved this problem on my G550.
