2 years and 3 months counting for me - no reboot ever. Guess its just one of those things. I only bought it cos I'm with AOL and have another one sitting waiting just incase this one does pack up, courtesy of the AOL customer service staff!

The DG834G is well known as being a bad router, it's useless for p2p. http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_routers A lot of people have reported that they do drop connections, and often need rebooting. Had the same problem with mine.

If you are thinking of a laptop John Lewis are doing a good range of toshiba A100 033 for £499 also it has a two year guarantee which other retailers don't have also if you buy through quidco you have a extra saving.:beer:

I have one of those & it often drops connections, & this is the second one I've had. My mate has also had two with the same problem. I'm on Bulldog he's on BT.

Make sure you have the latest firmware from Netgear. I had quite a few problems with one or two of their firmware levels. Its been fairly stable for a couple of years now.
