It seems i cant play WOW without uninstalling SP2.
Kinda weird i know; but whenever i turned in a quest in WOW the (wireless) router just shut it self down or something and i had to reboot the router in order to resume the internet.

Its a Netgear router wich is linked to a ADSL-modem. I tried alot of things like; updating router/modem/receiver software, changing stuff in the setup, messing about with the 'open port' stuff but to no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestion or solutions? ^^

To access your Network configuration settings:

Go to Start and choose Control Panel
If in Category view, please click on Network and Internet Connections
Open Network Connections
Right click on your network adapter used to connect to the internet and go to Properties
Click on Configure and go to the Advanced tab

Different network cards have different options on this screen:

Disable any option labeled Checksum Offload (RX and TX) or Hardware Checksumming
Set the option called Connection Type, Speed and Duplex Settings or Media Type to Force 100 Full Duplex
(the exact wording of this option may vary)
Note: You may need to select Force 10 Full Duplex for an older network.

Set the Optimize for option to Throughput

Click OK

Note: This may cause your Connection to disconnect temporarily: Restarting the computer will usually resolve this.
If you are still disconnected, readjust the Connection Type settings.
