Could someone tell me what the indicators are for a router going bad. My wifi keep shutting down suddenly and I don't think its the internet. It seems to spring back to life when I wake up my wired desktop. Appreciate your suggestions. I did go into netgear and check for updates and all was fine.

Hey farmerhughThat does sound odd! Before you go out and spend money, I believe we do still have some D-Link routers in stock here. I can send you a free router from our warehouse and see if that fixes your problem? Let me know!ThanksAmanda

When you say "wifi keep shutting down" do you mean your wireless device disconnects from the wifi, then comes back when you turn on a wired machine? Sounds like the wireless radio on the router could be dieing if that's the case.

farmerhugh,
One thing you may wish to check for each computer is the power settings for the network adaptor.
This is from Win7 but others are similar:

If there;s no charge that would be great. I'm getting mighty tired of running into the other room to reset the router, Thanks

Would the network adapter suddenly change. Its been fine until about 5 days ago. We did have a snowstorm and at first i thought that was the cause. Sent Hugh out a few times to dust off the satille dish, but snow is no longer an issue.
