I have an old PC (running W2k) connected to a Netgear WNR2000 N-band wireless router and an ACER laptop running Vista, wirelessly connected to the Netgear router. I have some kind of Webstar cable modem to my Cable provider (Cablevision in NJ). I've noticed every now and then, the router will seemingly "shut off". It has a power switch that I can turn off and on but what I've seen happen is that all the lights on the front just shut off, and I lose the network and of course, my internet connection. All the lights, including the power light. After a short bit, it will automatically power itself on and pick up my PC and then start the wireless broadcasting and I get the network up and running.. but it does this on occasion and it's frustrating. I am not sure what the problem could be, if any. For all I know it could be Cablevision, and I'm currious if anybody else has seen this before, before I try to contact Netgear. I couldn't find anything pertinent on their FAQ or support site... Anybody seen this before or have an idea of what the problem (if any) I have?
