I need help with my router

Aug 9, 2005 11:53AM PDT

I have the Netgear WGR614 wireless router and my computer which is using a wireless connection will randomly stop getting a connection to the internet but only with browsers, games and chat clients still work, and my other computer which is connected with an ethernet cable will randomly stop connecting as well.

I will never write the steps required since if you don't follow their instructions or if I copy it in a reply here, you could do it incorrectly. Please read their website and the manual on your router.
