I recently set up a Netgear Wireless-G Router (WGR614) on my HP Vista laptop, and ever since, I have been facing some frustrating problems.

First thought, you don't set up the router on a laptop. With maybe, but beyond the browser there is nothing on the laptop that will interact with the router. Starting and stopping the laptop has no effect on the router. There won't even be any interaction between the two until the laptop reboots and tries to connect to the network,

The only exception that I can think of is if you installed the Netgear desktop genie for Windows. Perhaps you could explain what you did in a little more detail.

Beyond that there is nothing that the router does to the laptop that will interact with Windows. So, I'd look elsewhere for solutions to that.

By the way, the original WGR614 dates back to 2003. The last incarnation was in 2008. So it is many generations behind current technologies.

Just another user with time on their hands.
