Unhappy HELP! Wireless router problem

Hi

Wondering if anyone can help me with my Netgear MR814v2 wireless router.

The connection suddenly died .

I'm now accessing the internet by connecting an ethernet cable into one of the routers 4 ports.

Any ideas how to identify the fault with the wireless loss?

Start by taking all the security off the wireless connection and broadcasting the SSID and seeing if the laptop can see it.

If the laptop cannot, do you have a friends that you can try, this will establish whether it is the laptop or the router.

Re: HELP! Wireless router problem

I have similar problems with the wgr614 router, when the client went out of range it would not re-connect to the wireless connection.

The only way i could reactivate the conneciton was to soft reset the router either by enabling and disabling the wirless connection of somthing else that would reset the router (lights flsh accrossing the front).

Netgear have been no help so far, will bug them again for a fix

Setting up a friend's USR model - just not stable with broadcast disabled - after several tries.

Eventually left it with WEP (128 bit) Enabled, broadcast ON, and MAC address locked (no other clients may associate) .... secure enough, I reckon!
