i tried installing windows sp2 but it sadi your system is in an unstable state. i have changed to wep now and it does not disconnect as much as before but it still doe sometimes. will it work better if i use windows to configure my wireless?

I always use windows to do this as the netgear utility is next to useless in my opinion. If you change to windows for your wireless then you can use WPA as well although WPA2 needs the SP2..
