I have a netgear wgt624v2 and I amvery dissapointed in the
performance. I keep loosing my wireless connection. Have to keep
restarting it. Anyone have a similar problem?

In an earlier post, you stated that you were picking up a neighbor's AP in
addition to your own. That in itself could be the source of your dropped
signals. Being that your neighbor's AP is unsecured, your client will more
than likely want to connect to it. Check your wireless configuration
utility and make sure that your AP is "Preferred". Some utilities let you
exclude other APs except your own while others allow you to connect to a
"mandatory" AP. Anyway, you might consider changing channels if your AP and
your neighbor's AP are on the same channel. Anyway, take care.
