Re: WGR614 does not renew DHCP lease and loses WAN con i also have the netgear wgr614 & wg511 card for the laptop. i have to say that for the desktop (duh!) the setup is flawless but for the laptop it is a pita. when it does connect (using wpa security) it performs well, but when it loses the connection, typically after an hour or so of hibernation on the laptop, it takes a virtual act of congress to get the thing to connect. sometimes a reboot does it; sometimes, for god knows what reason it takes multiple reboots. perhaps all wireless setups have such problems but i can tell you that my previous setup (microsoft 802.11b not wpa) was flawless in supporting the laptop. never had connections problems. netgear support staff in india is unfailingly polite but clearly reading from scripts. bub |
