    firstly, thanks for sharing your knowlege. Iat home I have a wireless set up for my norebook which was fine. My fe690 did some auto updates last week now when I go online I am ok for a while then i lose the connection and it knocks out all the other computers in the house!!!
    I then reset the main modem and the router which lets me get back on then after a while it happens again!!

    do u use bitcomet? my router dies when i turn on bitcomet. need to disable some functions to get it to work.

    and maybe try ur laptop on some other people's network like friends or family. I've seen 2 faulty wifi last month. One of them gives the Sony laptop a hard crash when turned on. Another is 2 identical laptop when both wifi is on, one of the laptop will always crash. Simple fix was to replace the wifi cards and it was fine after that.

    I also had the same problem with the SRX400 !!

    I originally thought it was only my LG laptop causing problems, because my other PCs and Dell laptop would work perfectly fine until my LG connected.

    Recently I updated the firmware to 1.00.17 and the drivers for my laptop. I haven't had my SRX400 crash on me in weeks!

    If you're using torrent, this happens. Too many packets of information sent and received. Disrupts your entire network. ISP does not like this.

    Speaking of which, what is your ISP?

    If you don't even know what it is, then you are not using it--sorry.
