Today my router has packed up... the problem is this:

The wireless just stopped working. I can connect via Ethernet but wireless is
not broadcasting at all - neither of my machines can see a
wireless network. I hadn't changed anything on the router.

I've tried rebooting and doing a hard reset to no avail.

The wireless light on the front panel is lit but is steady - no flickering.

The weird thing is that if I try to change any of the settings on the
router admin page, it seems to be a complete reset and I completely lose
all my settings - it goes back to the original factory settings.

Any idea what can be going on?!

It's a Netgear DG834G (the original one bought in April 04 I think).
 
It sounds software related, rather than hardware (but check the connections anyway...could be the cold weather as broke a weak connection)

Have you tried a firmware update?
