I have a new Netggear Wireless router MR814v2 and Win XP pro on a new Dell Inspiron 600m with Centrino chip set. The wireless is built in.

Well, for whatever reason, after I get connected with the wireless, it will drop after 15 minutes and I can not get back on, unless I pull the power from the router and plug it back in. Then I'm ok for about 15 minutes, until it drops me again.

I've tried just about evey combination I can think of and I'm running out of ideas.

Does anyone have any ideas about this one?

Thanks.

Hmm, I'm no guru, but are you sure that you don't need to add any mac-address on the router? The problem might be on the router and not your PC..

Perhaps check out every option there is on it, make sure nothing looks weird.. You could perhaps connect via a normal cable while checking it out, to make sure you're not loosing contact..

Also, check for updates on your chipset of course..

Are there any other machines on the router? If so, do they maintain their connection ok?

Glad you got it sorted - and thanks for the info
