I don't know if this is hardware or software, but it's related to hardware anyway. Basically, I've got a Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Router and a Netgear WG311 54Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter, hence my wireless internet, which I get through Virgin. Now, my wireless net is usually fine, with a good signal etc and the box is only 3 metres from my PC.
However, whenever I do anything that really pushes my CPU such as recode a video to DVD or play around with large files, the internet connection appears to drop and I can't access the web, email or msn. Strangely, if I stop whatever I was doing and "repair" the connection everything is restored. It's quite strange, it's not the actual wireless network connection that is lost, or at least reported lost, but it's the internet itself. I don't usually get any messages about connections being lost or anything, the internet just refuses to do anything until I repair the connection.
Anyway, this is really beginning to pis5 me off so if anyone can help there'll be a moderate helping a reps for them and I'll be very grateful! Thanks in advance.
