I'm going a little crazy here and I need some help from my fellow anandtechers.
I've got a netgear wgr614 wireless/wired router/accesspoint and a netgear wg511 card. With my current setup, my wired computers work great, however, the wireless connection drops without fail and will never reconnect.
A little more in depth- I've tried to set everything up as basically as possible .... g only, no WEP, any as the SSID. When firing everything up, I get a great wireless connection (80-95% signal at my laptop, 20-25mbps transfers). The problem occurs after a few minutes to a few hours, the connection drops, and no amount of scanning or waiting will bring it back. It takes a combination of rebooting the router, the laptop, or changing the SSID to get the connection back, again for only a few minutes.
I have tried channels 2-11, no difference. I have no 2.4 Ghz phones, my microwave rarely gets used. I have brought the laptop into the same room within 6 inches of the router. I exchanged both the card and the router for new ones, first replacing the router, and then the card. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this behavior?
Thank you ahead of time.
