The DIR-825 is not a switch. It's a ten year old router. Using an actual gigabit switch is cheaper than a router and just works right out of the box.

With a 10 year old device, and firmware from Dlink that doesn't natively support it functioning as a switch, bridge or repeater, there could be any number of reasons why it won't work stably when following the instructions posted online.

The same instructions are posted on Dlink's site as well so I'm sure they're not random.

A regular gigabit switch should work fine. I've got 3 in use in my home network. One is for my PVR and devices hooked to that TV.
