From which version? To which version? Of course, you did a
Web/forum search for your current firmware version to see if others were
complaining, too, before posting your low-info question here, right?

And you determined that the router is at fault, not the client

Settings reset and manual reconfiguration?
Load better (older/newer) firmware?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Downloads. (For older versions, under Firmware and Software
Downloads, look for "View Previous Versions".) Find the kit(s).
Download the kit(s) you want. Read the "Release Notes" file for
instructions. (In the User Manual, look for "firmware", and,
especially, for a topic like "Manually Upload Firmware to the Router".)

Maker? Model?

You might tell the rest of us. Different firmware? Better router?
Any actual information might be interesting.
