Router problems!

[jimster1982]

Hi all

Ive recently installed a wireless router and the software on my laptop!

The hardware spec is a Netgear 54 mbps wireless pc card, 32 bit cardbus WG511.

All is working well and I can access the internet, however when I hibernate or turn my laptop off and a few hours later turn it back on I no longer can connect to the internet!!

I can only connect back to the internet by going into the Netgear configuration settings (site survey) and re-scanning????

The problem is when ever i turn my machine back ON after a soft reboot / back from hibernations.

Drivers work ok i assume as once i have clicked on site survey the link to the router is brought back up.

Its like i lose the link everytime i restart and HAVE TO click on site survey to re-conect.

Has anyone experienced similar problems??

Any ideas??

Jim

Try either or both of the following forums.

Actually I don't have a forum number for the other one 'cause you didn't say what your OS was.

try going to a command prompt and typing this.

ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew

this should get you back on the net without going into the router. since it sounds like maybe your ip is changing and your system isn't grabbing the new settings.

Be interesting to know as a friend has a belkin 54g wireless setup and has the same problem everytime laptop machine resets, turns on etc she has to run the network setup wizard, its very odd indeed as the netcard software shows a full 5 green bars yet until she runs setup she can't connect to net.
