It seems there is a problem with the router software. I have upgraded to
~   the latest release (4.0.4) found on the Netgear site
http://kbserver.netgear.com/support_details.asp?dnldID=632. This has
solved the wireless connection but has caused a further problem when
using the cisco vpn client, either wired or wireless.

When you start the vpn tunnel cisco changes the MTU size from the
default 1500 to 1400 on the virtual interface and 1212 on the physical
interface. This seems the cause the WGT624 all sorts of problems. The
connection will come up ok but after a while it will freeze and you have
to drop the tunnel and restart eth0. I have played around with the MTU
setting on the router but this will cause problems when NOT using the vpn.

I wait to see what sort of response I get from Netgear support.

Cheers,
Ian
