router often not visible

I have the following  problem with my router wgr614;

when i triy to connect to my wireless router,  i first see on my laptop a lot of wireless routers/connections but not my netgear, sometime i takes 5 to 10 minutes and  there he is.... but most of the time he isn't visivble. I restart the router and my laptop also, sometimes it works but most of the tiime the router is not visible. I tries another laptop but same problem. What could be the problem? other firmware,settings, channel? or is the router broken? Please advice, regards, Reinoud

The wireless may be

The wireless may be conflicting with others in your area. You might try changing the wireless channel to something different than Auto. I like to use Channel #9, but you may need to try a few different ones.

See http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/10247/WGR614L-Router-Setup-and-Installati... about halfway down you will see the wireless setup.
