Has anyone any experience in drop outs using this? I've only recently gotten UPC, and chose the option with the wireless router. Frequently recently the wireless network has disappeared. I've checked on both laptops in the house, several wireless phones, ps3, and wii, so I don't think it's on the client end. Just like the network stops broadcasting.

When this happens I can get internet access through a wired connection to the WNR2000. The only solution seems to be to reboot both the upc modem, and the netgear. It's becoming a pain.

I checked netgear's faq for this modem, and it does say that Dect phones should be kept a minimum of three feet away from it. I've done this, and it is still dropping.

Using WPA2 and broadcasting the network. Laptops on xp pro and vista.

I'll call UPC support this evening to see if they have any idea. I'm not using the Siemens gigaset handset currently, but a panasonic dect phone.

Thanks

Mark
