I'm using a netgear wireless router with my system. My router stops communicating with my computers and the Iprono at least 2-3 times a week and I'm sure it has somthing to do with the Ipronto/EPG. When I disconnect the Ipronto things run smooth. I'm thinking that the router is thrown off-line somehow by the Ipronto and the EPG update. Any ideas or suggestions? My only alternative is to unplug the wireless card from the Ipronto.

I had a similar problem when I first purchased the ipronto. I had three computers on my network. When more than one computer was running (and the ipronto was in the loop), the whole system would get unstable and eventually (sometimes every couple of days other times every few hours) the router would just give up. Finally resorted to using direct ethernet cable from the router to one computer which was nearby AND also replaced the Philips PC card with a Netblaster PC card to reduce the frequency of the problem. Then, I purchased an 802.11a/b/g router. Of course, the Philips PC card didn't seem to want to communicate with that. So, I left the old NetblasterII router in place to operate the ipronto and routed the computers through the new 802.11a/b/g router. Now, all works very well wirelessly albeit on a Rube Goldburg arrangement. I'm convinced all my problems were Philips'.

That's crazy. We shouldn't have to go through all of these hoops to get the product to work correctly. I have resorted to leaving the wireless card out of my ipronto until I need to update the remote or use the internet feature on the remote. It just isn't worth having to re-boot my router every day.

Hi, I had similar problems with my netgear AP. just got the linksys WRT54G using it in mixed b/g mode and all appears well so far. not sure of your location, this is currently 80.00 GBP from Comet in the UK.

You may also want to double check your DHCP settings on the AP, mine were wrong (Thanks Phil) this helped but still i would get maybe 1 lockup a week.

Other solution which I was using was to use an X10 module, on the AP power supply, controlled from the ipronto ! This works but not really ideal :-) You can get these from www.letsautomate.com or other places...
