[QUOTE="Jonik, post: 1029478, member: 138449"] Hey, This is a problem we've been having for a few years now at my parent's house, but I'm finally ****** off with it enough to work out how to fix it! Unfortunatley I don't have the knowledge myself... :Oops: We have UK Virgin Media Internet at about 10mbps (not too bad!) and have a Virgin media Modem. This is then plugged into a Netgear 108mbps wireless firewall router (WGT624v3). All works fine, unless someone on the network (we have 3 laptops) opens a page with multiple pictures in - say a how-to thread with 10 pictures in, or a 'post your setup' thread with 20 pictures in from different sources etc. You get the idea! The wireless stops working at this point. No-one can use the internet anymore until the netgear is switched off at the mains and turned back on. Even a 2 second flick off and on will reset it. The problem occurs on both PC and Mac, and on any web browser. I have a feeling it's the netgear, with some extreme firewall protection mode on, but I don't really know tbh. Any ideas? Thanks :) Jonik [/QUOTE]
