Yes there are a few networks and i did have it in the middle of them on 6 when they had 1 and 2 and sometimes some at the top end of the channels. I read this was worse then been on the same channel so tried putting on 1, 3 and 11 for a while. Same thing. I've not tried putting on just b though so will give that a go.

It doesn't lose connection as such from the router if you mean the laptop, its just suffering from the same thing as the pc wired to the router, it fails on webpages. Everything else internet wise works. Even speedtest.net shows good speed. The netgear assistant on the laptop will always show connected with good strenth but every so often sites won't load and its very annoying. Same for the pc. Sometimes its certain sites but others it won't load any site for a while and i have to wait til it comes back.

Basically i'm wanting to get it so i can browse the net as long as i need to both ends without worrying about when its going to start playing up. As it would if i were just using the cable modem on its own.
