Hi all, first time poster here. Happy new year to you all :P

Anyway I've recently moved into a flat with my mate and we have Virgin Media broadband (not sure which speed but anyway..)

As we both have laptops, we needed to get a wireless router because otherwise we obviously wouldn't be able to use the net at the same time. So I got a belkin, which (when it works) does the job very well.

But occasionally the connection will just drop completely - and it's happened a LOT more this past week or so. The router seems to be set up fine, but when the connection goes, either the networking icon in the system tray in Vista will lose it's globe (as in still meaning we have 'local' access) or will disconnect completely. In either case I have to either reset the connection through the router config, or actually unplug the router for a minute or so and restart.

But this is getting seriously annoying, as like I say it's happening a lot lately. I'm new to cable/virgin, but I have set up routers many times before. Is there something I might be missing?

Any advice would be great.

Cheers
