Internet cuts out when I run a game over the internet
Hi,
I just bought a laptop that runs vista with what ever is the stock wireless cardthat comes with dells


Anyway the internet runs fine unless im on a website that runs video or playing a game that connects over the internet (world of warcraft for example). When im watching a video or playing a game, it will run fine for a few minutes then the internet will cut off for my entire network, needing to restart the router. I have 3 other computers attached. Please help me find out why my laptop is doing this
edit: my router is:A netgear wpn 824

Bumping after one hour will just annoy people. If you haven't gotten a response in a day, it's acceptable to bump your post.

I'd start by seeing if there is any upgraded firmware for the router. I'd also reset it to factory defaults and reconfigure.
