Hi. I'm using Windwos xp with a kcorp wirelss pci card to a netgear adsl/router.

IF I leave Azureas runnning over night, the wireless connection will crash, guaranteed, in about 2-3 hours. It's a very wierd crash, windows says it's connected and ipconfig is all good. juts nothign can connect to the internet. if i try to disable the connection then windows crashes.

Even wierder thing is at home using a dlink router everything worked fine for days.

It's not just with azureus, I tried downloading a video with opera last night and the same thing happened.

ANyone know wy the netgear router causes this or if it's the router's fault?
 
thanks for that but it doesn't really help. To be honest I bought them down to their marketing. Dlink introduced their G plus wireless thing which was 54mbps (amazing back then) and then Netgear introduced RangeMax and this house is massive so i boguht it.

But that doesn;t matter, do you know what else I can do?

(what make do you recommend then?)
 
I've read everywhere about netgear's cache problem, so I updated the firmware and changed all the settings like everyone says. (turned off logging for the ports used by azuerues, and turned off Upnp in azureus).

But the problems; still there. and I don't think it is the router's fault becuase when my pc doens't work with it all the otehr wireless laptops here do, and restarting the router does nto solve the problem.

The only way I've found to fix the problem is restarting windows. I can't disable the wireless connection to repair it.

Does anyone have any ideas?
 
yeah but as I've just said,restarting the router doesn't fix the problem. and when my pc's not working the otehr one does. so it suggests tehre's a problem with my windows rather than the router.

i've made torrent queueu only having 3 downloading at any one time but it still crashes the wireles connection.
 
yep the wirelees card is pc compatible nad has the latest drivers. wierd thing is wiht a differnt router (dlink) it worked fine all night, it's just when going through the netgear router that the wirelees connection crashed.
 
well they're not the same brands, the router's a Netgear range max and the pci card is kcorp 54mb, but i'm not using special stuff like wpa or anything so surely it should work? i thought wireless was a standard/?
