Timed out on Party again!! Help please, so tired.

[ebaudry]

Today you may save a life.

My damn internet connection timed out, again, today while I was on the bubble in two different tournaments. I don't feel like calculating how much I might have lost, but you can probably smell the frustration.

I really can't deal anymore.

Couple questions:

How often do you get timed out (disconnected requiring some sort of intervention on your part like restarting your computer or hub, or whatever)?

How do you go about reconnecting as fast possible?

My connection tends to "fix itself" after I restart my wireless Netgear router a couple of times. Sound familiar to anyone, or is my gear bunk?

Please help with solutions:

Should I upgrade the firmware on my Netgear wireless router?

Should I just replace the whole thing with something top of the line (would it make a difference)?

Anyone have good luck with a particular wireless router, especially one with a decent range?

Thank you so much, I really am going quite mad.
