Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has come across a similar problem or know's how to resolve it? The problem is when ever I use the wireless connection on my router after a few hours (3 hours sometimes longer) the connection drops(unable to get net access or the router homepage), though the PC does not say there is no network connection. At this point I have to turn the router off for a couple of minutes and then reboot both PC's (Laptop and Desktop). When I use the wired connection so far I have not lost the connection once.

The router I have is a Netgear WGT624, PC using a Netgear wireless card and the laptop using a wireless intel centrino card. Both machines are running win xp (sp2) and the router is using DHCP to assign IP addresses to both machines.

I've looked throgh some of the posts on the forum and read some p2p program can cause problems due to high demands on the network, don't know if this is true or not but even without using any I still seem to find the connection drops.

Sorry for the long post, but this problem is driving me crazy

almost at the point of buying a 30m cable!!! Any help or ideas would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks,
