I had this problem with my Netgear stuff, though it wasn't the router. I was using WN111 wireless adapters on XP, and the Netgear network management software 'clashes' with XP's wireless management software (called something like Windows Zero Wireless' or similar). I went to admin, and prevented the Windows service from running, and now it runs fine. I found this on Netgear's forum.

I don't know if it'll help you, but if your desktop uses a Netgear wireless adapter, it may do the trick. If you don't have any installed software (aside from drivers) installed then don't stop the Windows service from running - it definately won't help.

I've changed the channel to 6, and that seemed to help earlier. I chickened out of the FW update

Card in the desktop is a Belkin.

Just use the backup settings function before you do the update. Ive done maybe 30 firmware updates for various people on the exact same router ( i help family and friends with this sort of stuff ) - never had a problem. You`ll be alright mate.

As for chatting to Ralph - whats he doing home at this time ? - tell him to get back out there with the lights on

Good advice mate - i dont feel that its this though as they are all dropping out together. Most likely WiFi interference i reckon.

Does anyone know how they work? Do you set them up point to point to just replace one network cable?

If so I'd need quite a few .
