What model number of router is it?
Do you use a cable or DSL modem with your router? 
Did you try to do a cold reboot by unplugging and pluging the routers power 
back in?
My PC is equipped with the Netgear WG 311 802.11g wireless card. The router 
provides a direct connection to the internet WAN port from the SB 5100 Cable 
modem.

Sometimes my wireless Netgear WGR 614 v1 would hickcup and loose the connection 
between
my SB 5100 cable modem and itself. It has 802.11g 54Mbs support as well as 
backward compatible 802.11a and b support as well. 

Sometimes the Internet WAN connection light on my router would not respond and 
go dark while the Power, Wireless and local ports stay lit. I have a CAT6 cable 
running from the SB 5100 cable modem to the Router Internet WAN port. First I'd 
turn off the router then the modem wait a few seconds then turn on the modem 
wait for it to power up full untill stanby mode is reached then turn on the 
modem, turn on the router until the WAN, Wireless and local  ports are lit. If 
there is no connection light you may want to lower the duplex speed of the 
wireless nic to resync the handshake with the router. Try pinging the router to 
see if there is a response in communication between the wireless nic and 
router. If not try reseting the SSID the the admin software router page making 
sure that they both match exactly in the wireless nic and router.

My Netgear router stopped working all of a sudden today.
All the indicator lights are lit and I cannot find any thing wrong but it 
will just
not connect to the internet.
I can connect normally without the router.
I checked at Netgear forum and one more person has reported the similar
case.
Is it normal for a router to die in such a fashion?
Router is out of warrantee therefore I am going to buy another one since
its diagnosis and repair would probably cost me more,
