OK, Just that for some reason, wireless routers will refuse to allow connection and have to be turned off and back on.
Now, Do you know if the Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns you a fixed IP address or it it is a DHCP server which assigns an address on demand? This may help in discovering what, if any of your security or other settings are inappropriate. I am not expert but I have had my share of problems with reliable connection on a couple of networks so I may be able to help but we are getting to the edges of my knowledge.
