I think you mentioned initially that you had a Netgear DG834. These are usually rock solid in my experience.Thanks to all for your help. Now I must continue my search for a router which my Xperia phone likes. My phone does not like my current Netgear router and goes through a connect/disconnect cycle. I have tested the phone elsewhere and it is fine. Apparently this is a known problem which I did not find out until too late. (It will connect for about an hour if I reset the router and then it fails again.) I was thinking of ugrading anyway, my router does not have 802.11N and first came out over 10 years ago. So while I am at it I must make sure that the Xperia phone is happy with it. More research, sigh Neil
I'd be inclined to check you have the latest firmware installed before dashing out for a new one.
I've always recommended DG834s but Netgear don't sell them any more. I haven't been impressed with their replacement model (I forget the name - dg6000? - something like that). I expect later models and newer firmware will resolve the issues I've seen with them. I'm stuck as to what to recommend currently - usually, I just wrangle with what the ISPs supply...
Speaking of which, it might be worth getting in touch with your ISP, they might send you a freebie especially if you tell them your current one is broken.
