Bought a Netgear wireless router Dg834pN for the laptops what a piece of rubbish hardware.
When i ran the installation disc it was recommend you use the netgear utility to program type in http://192.168.0.1 to set up the wireless network but to configure the other PC's it was ten times easier using Microsoft settings to configure them it up especially setting the 64 bit wep key security settings.
Atm back using my adsl modem to connect to my ISP the Netgear kept dropping its connection down to barely a trace wouldn't even load firefox disabled windows firewall my sygate firewall mad no difference and that was on my machine where the phone line is connected to and Netgears internal modem i have been looking at reviews for the DG834PN and people are having the same problems as me so I'm pretty sure its not a meatware error hehe

been looking at d-link which i was tempted to go with in the first place didn't know now why i didn't but want to make sure it is not some stupid configuration what needs adjusting or resetting
