WGR614 v3 wireless router connectivity problems

[el2bn]

I have a WGR614 v3 wireless router which has been working fine for the past 3 months, all devices wired to the router are working fine, my 2 desktops connected via the wireless mode were working fine till 2 days ago when I observed that both computers could not re-connect to the router, I have to reboot the router in order to restore wireless connectivity. I keep having to reboot the router at least 3-4 times a day. I tried restoring the router back to factory default settings and re-configuring it and keep having the same problem. During the time when the wireless part of the router stops the wired part keeps running perfectly well. Is there an suggestion to resove this problem?

sounds like you need to call support for RMA.

or read "wireless tips" on my sig below and do some troubleshoot

Thanks for your reply. I have been checking and came up with a new development which is I disabled the security encryption from the router and allowed access by MAC address only, once this was done I have had a very
stable connection since the past 24 hours from both desktops. What this tells me is that probably there is something not compatible between the TREND wireless USB sticks I am using on each desktop and the Netgear wireless router. The question is why these two sticks worked well for the past 3 weeks and now it is not?

I would try without access list (nothing secure)

just use WEP, WPA, WP:A2 with not access list
