Yeah I bet you threw it in the Garbage .
Get real you must work for NetGear.

Have you all checked your power save options ?
make sure that windows is not allowed to turn the wireless devices off to save power when your system is idle..

in da trash huh, what a waste of nice equipment -
I think himerus or someone hit the nail on the head earlier in the posts about the intermittent connection problems, I think it is the 802.11 authentication that is causing the issues. I would for starters- set static ip's for for all the machines in this network, or use automatic for all the machines in the network- they don't seem to like to mix well in the same network.
then, I would uncheck the 802.11 authentication on all the machines as well, I have had very similar issues on many different wireless configs, and that usually seems to help resolve them.

I'm a electronics tech try subing your 9 volt power cord for a 12V cord, on the RCA DCM315. The 9 volt may not have enough power to keep a weak signal so the amp overheats!

i currently have the same problem. i have 3 systems, 1 desktop(xp) connected to the router directly. a laptop(vista) connected thought wireless-G, and an xbox 360 with wireless adapter. and there all going threw cable internet modem and a linksys router. they all worked fine,.. untill one day i let my freind baro the router and he changed the settings to dsl, i reset the settings when i got it back, had tech support help me reconfigure for cable agian and now connection only lasts 10 minutes or so
