Good to know I am not alone. It has been the same for the 2 weeks I have had it. I use the unit with a Samsung Nexus S. I have no difficulty obtaining an IP address from the main router which is the SuperHub from Virgin media (Netgear CG 3101D) or any other wireless source. When the unit works it gives excellent coverage. Every time my Samsung powers up it tries to obtain a new IP address then gives up until I reboot the unit. It then gets a new IP address every time. It then loses contact and the whole procedure starts again. It has worked its way through 50 IP addresses in less than a week.
I rebooted the SuperHub then rebooted the unit. It started again at IP address 5 and is now at 29 in two days. This is obviously not right.
I am no expert and the suggested solutions seem unnecessarily complex for a "plug and play" piece of kit.
Come on Netgear... SORT IT!!!
