I don't know about d-link but here I have an Asus router and I experienced an issue on my s4. The wifi would connect fine but every minute or so the phone would reconnect with the message popup. This caused anything I was doing to timeout. I tried changing the router's security to wpa tkip, but that only worked on 5ghz and limited the range. Then, nothing I did would keep a connection. Finally I reset the router and now it stays connected on 2.4ghz wpa2 with aes. I also enabled wps and initially connected with that. It's been a week now and not a single issue.

D-Link is actively researching this issue now to determine the cause.!

I think S4 is the problem not the routers. I have this same issue.

I remember they always said in school "Friends don't let friends buy d-link".

Your mileage may vary but I always buy Linksys, throw DD-WRT on it and it just works and works with whatever I throw at it.
