bouncing connection and a netgear router..

Hi yall,

I'm working on a problem for a friend. She uses DSL filtered thru a Netgear router for wireless access on her laptop. Her problem is, when she tries to use certain streaming programs, such as IM progs, she gets a bouncing effect. Nothing is noticed on her wireless connection, but the program constantly stops and restarts. For example, using Yahoo IM, it will continuously log her on and off, usually several times within a

30 sec period..

I have seen where Dlink routers have an issue with wireless spikes, but it usually covers the whole connection, not just certain ports.

Has anyone else seen this in a Netgear router? If so, any solution would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jon
