Well turning off a service will sometimes cause a problem, so maybe you should
turn it back on again. Can you provide a reference about advice that told you
to turn off WZC?

Now if you're seeing the connection disrupted every 5 minutes, I'd look at
802.1x authentication.

And make very sure that only 1 WiFi client manager is running.

You must use either Wireless Zero Configuration system or D-Link's. Not both.
