    Wireless: Netgear N300 Wireless Gigabit router WNR3500L

    IO Gear USB Hub 7 port

    I was using my computer online, stopped for short period, computer was left on. When I resumed I got error message that I was not connected to internet. Taskbar displayed wireless not connected, cable unplugged.
    I had to take modem out of system and plug directly back to computer to get back on net.



    System connections set up:

    To Computer -
    IO Gear USB 7port
    Computer power cord
    Keyboard (to USB port)
    Headphones

    To USB 7port -
    USB splitter (with 3 flash drives)
    Printer
    Mouse
    D-Link wireless router

    To Westell modem -
    Ethernet cable
    Power cord
    DSL line

    To: Netgear Wireless Router
    Ethernet cord
    Power cord

    I started to troubleshoot with Netgear, but that is a lengthy process and after providing the detailed information I cannot connect with their support, I get only a blank white screen.
    The unit was purchased May 2011.
