My friend and I actually have a name for this: BRS (Bad-Router Syndrome). It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the router, though. Here's what I need to know:


1. How far apart are the wireless router and the computer/its wireless adapter?

2. What Firewall / AntiVirus / AntiSpyware are you using?

3. What are you using to connect to the router (software that came with the wireless adapter, with the router, Windows' built-in one, or other)?

4. Please tell me the Model of your Netgear router, and the Make/Model of your wireless adapter (or PC if it has built-in wireless support).

5. Does the laptop have built-in wireless support?

hi

my laptop is about 12 inches away from the router
its been ok today and its been fine for months
just over last few days it would cut off every 2 mins then reconnect etc ...

im using windows firewall i think
avg virus software

the wireless is all built in the laptop dont no the make

and its a netgear router looks like a dg834g

hope that helps

Go to Start > Run, and type devmgmt.msc

Do you ave any yellow exclamation-points or red X's next to any of your devices (particularly those pertaining to network/internet)?
