...so I could rip it out.

I am using AOL (yes I know, please don't judge me) and I have a wired computer connected to the router and a wireless one.

Up until the last day or so the wireless connection has been fine, no problems. However it's been dropping the connection - not the broadband but the wireless. I keep getting the notification that it's local access only, not the usual local and internet. All the while, the wired computer is absolutely fine. It doesn't happen all the time, sometimes the wireless machine will connect for hours, other times only for about 10 minutes at a time.

I've been speaking to those wonderful people in their Indian tech support and they honestly have not got a clue. They've blamed my extention cable, my filter, my wired computer, anything they can - and those who haven't blamed it on that sort of thing have simply hung up on me.

So over to you guys, can anyone help? The router is a Netgear DG834 and normally works well.
