Router disconnects internet

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

My experience with the MR814v2 and the WGR614v1 is that they both have
a tendency to overheat,as well as assign a private IP
(169.254.xxx.xxx) whenever my laptop went into standby mode or was
inactive for too long. We all know that the 169.254....IP equals a
misconfiguration. Once I rebooted the router, everything worked fine
until the next time I went into standby mode or idled too long. I've
since sold my MR814, disabled the wireless portion of my WGR614 making
it a mere router and I've purchased a Belkin F5D7230-4 as my AP. All
is well and no more problems.
