    I have had the router for 5-6 weeks now and it has been working great until yesterday. Now I cant get the wireless to work at all. I tried all the settings and tried updating the firmware but still no go. I've used 1.04.01 and 1.03.07 firmware and still I have the same problem. I am now using the 1.03.07 firmware. I dont know what to do anymore.

    Any suggestion is welcome :)

    If you are using Windows XP, you can roll your computer's system back to before the problem started.

    When I set up my router first, I had desperate trouble making the thing work. Turned out there was a conflict with some other software on my machine.

    I had previously been using Sygate Personal Firewall with my USB modem. When setting up the Netgear box, I disabled the Sygate software at startup. Couldn't get my wireless network to work at all. Eventually twigged that Sygate was not fully disabled and turned it back on. Everything worked like a charm after that.

    So that's my suggestion: software conflict, and use XP feature to roll back your system.

    (Shamelessly stolen from the documentation)
    Each piece of wireless equipment must have these items set to the same value:
    + SSID's are case sensitive — use the same capitals in each SSID. Recently the default value for NETGEAR equipment changed from "wireless" to "NETGEAR", so you may need to change from the default to make all your wireless equipment match.
    + Enable wireless access point. (Check the checkbox.)
    + Channel.
    + WEP encryption. See What is WEP Encryption for Wireless Networks? for information that's slightly more complete than the manuals.
    + Mode (infrastructure or ad hoc)
    + If access list is turned on: Make sure that the MAC addresses of the wireless cards are present in the router's access list.

    Well after installing firmware after firmware, and changing my SSID and WEP, it finally works. The thing is now the wireless connection seem to lag a bit sometimes. Anyway of fixing this?
