Is AJAX wireless router friendly?
I've been experiencing a strange problem of late that I'm embarrased to admit I don't entirely understand. Connecting through an ancient Netgear router and a broadband connection, I've noticed no problems checking email, surfing the web, etc, etc.
In the last few weeks I've begun to notice that if I visit maps.google.com, maps.yahoo.com, or even good ole' mapquest my wireless connection appears to get overwhelmed and my gateway becomes non-responsive as evidenced by pings timing out. It doesn't happen until I start interacting with the AJAX portions of those mapping interfaces. In other words, I can reach the map url, but as soon as I start using the drag/drop interfaces and I can see the interface waiting for data to come back in order to display panels of the map (not only the satellite photos), it appears to just spin and spin... and suddenly I'm unable to ping the router from any machine connected to it.
Curiously the same behavior doesn't appear to happen through the wired side of the same router.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Any suggestions for troubleshooting this issue?

I am having the same problem. I have scoured the internet for a solution with no success. Same symptoms you describe, and the only time it happens (at least that I have recreated) is when I go to mapquest or maps.google, and utilize the AJAX piece of the map. My router is a Netgear WGR614v3. I never had a problem with my old XP computer and mapquest. I did take the time to download the latest firmware for the router to no avail. If anyone does have a solution to this, I would love to hear it.
