    So basically, im new to the whole networking thing. Ive just bought a netgear wgr614 and set up it following the instructions. But theres frequent loss of connection around every 15 minutes.
    Is there something i can do to sort this? :(
    Many thanks.

    What kind of card is in your laptop? The Intel 2200bg card is known to have problems.

    Up date the router to the latest firmware and be sure to update your wireless cards drivers.

    Good luck!

    Try changing the channel that your router uses.If you have cordless phone,it could be interferring with the signal,try moving the phone away from the router.And like Irishrover said update your drivers.Check your modem and router to make sure that thats not the problem.Also try resetting your router.
