I have at home a small network - using wireless router from Netgear (WGR614v5 with firmware v1.09).
I'm using WPA-PSK security and router as a DHCP server.
If I connect to network from Windows XP, it works well without drops. If I use Linux (FC4, FC5), connection drops after 5-10 minutes. All connections are dropped, the router seems to be dead. So I must restart the router (power off -> power on). I know that it is router's firmware related problem, but I tried to use every firmware which comes from Netgear with no success. There must be also something bad in the Linux because Windows XP works well with this router.
!! NEVER BUY NETGEAR !!
Please help!
