Bingo. Exactly what we were experiencing with the netgear wireless. We were running Dell and Alienware laptops wireless, and my Systemax desktop wired. No matter what I tried (ie, unhooking the desktop, following suggestions on their forum, etc) the same thing happened. We were lucky if we stayed connected 30 mins straight.
