I have using a safecom able router for some time with no problem. I have recently purchased a netgear wireless access point and I am finding that after 20 minutes for so I can’t access the net form anything connected wirelessly.
If I check on a wired machine it connects fine.
The wireless machine can access the access point and the router but not the net. It does not resolve DNS even though the DNS settings have not changed.
I have also encounter the self same problem with a wireless router, but this has only 2 wireless pc connected. a is about 10 metres from the router and connects fine and accesses the net fine. the other can access for about 10-20 minutes then suffers the same problem.
I had this and it was somone elses wireless causing problems. while my signal was way stronger theres caused problems.
First thing to try is change the channel the router uses, just keep switching until you find a good one.
Or do what I did, connected to teh other wireless and it was default everything, ip, password, the lot. so just turned their wireless off. Not one problem since
