Could you expand on that?

:Connection stays up for two minutes then :I loose the connection. Can't figure out the problem...Contacted the :ISP and they informed me that it was a NETGEAR issue.

Is the system that is losing the connection running Windows XP? If so then google groups alt.internet.wireless for windows xp losing connection -- 2 minutes is fairly common for that situation. Has to do with XP's zero wireless setup.

On your laptop configuration for the wireless network card, go in and set the 802.1x authentication to DISABLE and see what that does for you.
