Hi,

I'm new here, and I have a very irritating problem.

I have a Belkin Wireless Router (the F5D7230uk4), which is connected to NTL 1MB Broadband, and networked to two different PC's (One wired, the other wireless). and just lately (within the last month) seem to be having an irritating problem.

At least once a day, my computer upstairs (Which is connected wirelessly) will not load any webpages whatsoever. It will only load them after i've restarted the router through the administration screen. I've heard of a registry fix, which will sort out this problem, although to me, it seems to be more of a router problem. My computer is connected with a PCI Belkin Wireless Network Card (The F5D7000uk). The baffling thing is that the admin screen shows the internet status as "Connected" and the PC connected through normal CAT5 can still access the Internet perfectly.

The thing is, the router is only two months old, and i dont really want to replace it, if it's a simple problem. Do you people know of any problems, or fixes I can do? I've tried updating firmware for the router, which is pointless as there's no updated firmware available. I've looked for updated drivers for my card (again pointless).

Both PC's are running Win XP Pro with SP2, all fully updated. I've checked for spyware, and viruses, and found nothing.

It will also do this after using any form of P2P program as well.

Any ideas? I've tried belkin tech support, but they are useless. I've reset my router to factory settings at least five times now, and the problem persists.
