Had the none wireless version of this router before, at home. Did the same thing there really.
Basically drops connection a lot of the time, that is the internet connection(telewest aswell as ntl), happens every so often and very often when it does, but sometimes its fine for ages on end. tried playing with a number of settings, still does it really. a lot of the time its when my flatmate and I are trying to play on a game together online. Its VERY annoying when it happens though, bit of a joke. Firmware is the newest release, and has been wiped aswell. Restored to factory settings and it still does it sometimes.
sometimes it drops internet and lets us play together fine over lan whilst the internet is still down. Its got to be powered down and powered back on for internet to come back on though. Modem doesnt need to be touched, internet comes on fine when just router is powered on and off again...

Anyone else experienced anything like this? Hoping it wont happen with my parents G version of the router(the linux version)
