afternoon. I have this router currently, WIRELESS BROADBAND ROUTER - WGR614 54 Mbps Wireless Cable Router with 4-port Switch. After a recent update to the new FW for the router, it now seems to drop the wireless connection to the laptop. It is a Dell 9200 Inpirion with built-in wireless card. I have two other pc's wired to the router with no problems. Before the upgrade all worked fine, now it seems to connect the laptop when it boots up and all is great. After you are done and shut the lid (laptop goes to 'sleep') and at a later stage open it up again, it pops up with 'connected to .... network - wireless' so it see's the network. connects to it but refuses to give me any access to the web. I have to repair the connection which sometimes fixes the issue but rather more than not I have to shut it down an redo the whole process. I know the normal process would be to roll back the FW on the router. I would like to keep the the latest FW if possible. Anyone shed any light on this.
