I have a standard Virgin supplied Netgear WRG614v9, it seems to work ok although any vista based laptop dropps out continously, XP works ok tho.

On the other end of the wireless is a Netgear WGPS606, wireless print server with 4 port switch, unfortunatly this has wired devices attached such as the NAS, SBS test server, printers and as such is pretty critical but it wont connect. 9 times out of 10 there is no wirless connection, it simply refuses to talk most of the time which is infuriating.

Can anyone shed some light, is my main router busted, is my print server nackered or do they just hate each other enough to never want to play nicely?
 
To add a little more info, access control is turned off on the main router to rule that out, IP's are set manually for all devices and appear to work fine (when it works), encryption is WPA-PSK (TKIP) and im running on channel 6 which appears to be fairly clean in that most people round here share 11 for some reason!
