I've a fairly similar problem to you but it effects the laptops we have - randomly cannot communicate DNS server. There are five laptops in the house most already have a wireless N card and all run Vista. Had the engineer out yesterday who couldn't explain the number of timeouts on the 50MB modem (as many as 17 or more everyday) but said it was fine. He did say that there is more than likely a problem with the Netgear wireless N router that is giving us the problem of randomly disconnecting from the internet (although local wireless is ok when this happens) the upshot is that I had to phone the 50MB broadband support line to get them to send a new router, hopefully one that works this time! Could this be your problem also?
