Hi

I have the same problem with my laptop. Cannot get internet access although it is connected to the router which sometimes recognises its presence.

1. It is not the router (Netear WGT624v3) as I get internet access using a USB wireless adapter.

2. It is not the laptop (Acer 1694) as I got internet access through two Belkin routers (unprotected networks). I could not get the internet with two other NetGear routers and one other Belkin.

3. The routers with which I could not get internet access were all NTL. I do not know, of course, the ISPs of the two Belkin routers.

My own conclusion is that the problem is with NTL but I do not know the solution. If you do a google search you will find that it is a common problem with apparently no known solution. I use my USB wireless adapter.

My advice is do not waste your money buying another router but try a USB wireless adapter. Borrow one first if you can.
