Same router I had before - Netgear WGR614 v3 - running fine with 3
Windows XP machines connecting, 2 wired and 2 wireless.  Replaced the
two wireless machines with a new Macbook.  Connects and gets an IP
just fine, but with 20 minutes (sometimes 5) the router locks up hard.

Activity lights continue to flash but router config page (192.168.0.1)
is inaccessible and none of the machines can access the net.  Only
solution is to do a hard reset of the router which makes it fine for
another short while.

Googling turns up a whole bunch of people with similar problems with
various models of routers but no answers other than the obvious update
your firmware:

Anyone else experiencing something similar?  I consider myself to be
fairly knowledgeable about networking and can't figure out what the
heck could be going on.  I am considering pulling out Ethereal to do a
packet analysis to see what is going on.

Thoughts?
