ok gone through all the posts again no one with my problem that i can see ive changed it from auto channel to channel 11 see if that helps...or should i use another number channel thanks.

Check for wireless networks in your local area and try and pick a channel nobody is using.But I think the more likely cause of this is the routers position related to the wireless card/sticks position and or the wireless card/stick isn't that good.

Am on the same router and the free usb wireless stick you get from virgin both in same room and it still drops but a little move of the stick suggests that is the real issue.Mind you the router is behind the tv so that could be the problem.
I'd suggest positioning your router and stick better in relation to each other.

see mine has been ok for over 16 months until this week...its in the middle of the house ...the only thing ive done which looks like ive sorted it now is instead of auto put it on channel 11 instead of auto...thanks for the advice.

I have the same problem with my Netgear DG834GT. Wired connections are rock solid, but wireless signal cuts out after a while. None of my wireless devices can see the router without a reboot of the router being done.
I've just reloaded the firmware to see if that helps and will monitor......

i think i sorted it by changeing the channel from auto to 11 or try another number seems to work ok now.
