Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help.
On my home network I have a PC and a laptop.
I have the PC hooked up with a modem and then a router to which the laptop is connected wirelessly.
The modem is a Virgin media one and the router is a Netgear WGR614v6.
I keep getting drop outs when trying to browse and it seems that it happens when I am running utorrent.
If I am running Utorrent on the PC the laptop wont load the internet and sometimes I cant browse on the PC either when its running. I have to close Utorrent and reset the internet to be able to browse.
Any ideas what I can do to get a stable connection that does not involve closing Utorrent?
Oh and we dont use firewalls...only the NAT on the router....is it a router issue?
Cheers,
Al

You might need to look at the Netgear site/forums m8,...there was a reported issue with some models of Netgear routers suffering dropouts which have supposedly been fixed with new firmware upgrades,..
