Having recently bought a wireless laptop, I changed my cheapo Safecom wired router (which has worked perfectly forthe past year) for a cheapo Safecom wired/wireless router, model SWBARR-5400. This works a treat on both the wired and wireless connections except that, infrequently (the last time was a week) I appear to lose the internet connection; I can still look at shared folders on my different PCs, use the shared printer etc but no internet. A simple power cycle of the router sorts the problem.

I THINK this may be related to ntl changing the ip address as when it happened yesterday, I noticed that the ip address had changed after I turned the router off then on.

I wonder if anyone else has this router and has noticed a similar problem?
