Netgear router is CONTANTly needing resetting, any suggestions?

[Bonnie Peebles]

I have a fairly new (bought w/in last 6months) Netgear router.

The router was a bitch to set up. My ISP IDs my computer via a MAC or
similar unique ID. When I set up my router I couldn't find the number
the ISP needed from my router. I went into setup and still couldn't
find the #, it wasn't the MAC, it was <maybe> the Wan # they needed.
The instructions just tell you how to set up the router so it clones
the MAC of the Modem and everything is suppose to be hunky dorry.
Well, I set it up and I was having to reset the Netgear Router about 4
times a day. I upgraded my ISP service to 7 Mbps and got a new modem.
Now I'm resetting my router as often as every 30 minutes.

Can anyone give me some help?
I'd get a different Router and swear off net gear but all my computers
(7) have Netgear 802.11g Wireless with the PROPRIATARY whatever that
give you 108Mbps when all the parts are the same..

your MAC address is the unique number given to your NIC card. within the
router setup did you 'clone' the MAC address.
