Wireless network funniness

[Gibbs]

ok my mate has a netgear DG834G v4 wireless router which has just stopped working.

was setup and working fine on 2 laptops untill 2 days ago. I had a look at the settings and everything looks good but both laptops cant find the wireless router. and even when i p[lug in the cat5 lead they let me connect to the router setup but not onto the net, however all lights are showing that should be on.

even tried a different router, same model with no luck neither

very strange thoughts?

Try resetting the router to factory settings or flashing with a new firmware.
But if you tried a different router then that makes it a bit more complicated...could be something interfering with the wireless, but then why would the net stop working when you are cabled into it? Could be 2 seperate problems, one with the line one with the router.

I would say the router has had it but if a different router shows the same problems. Perhaps you could take the suspect router to a different address and try it there.

Have you tried changing the wireless channel? Maybe a neighbour of yours has setup a wireless router on the same frequency and it's interfering? Either that or a new microwave
