I've just bought a Belkin Wireless G Router and a Netgear USB Wireless Receiver... I don't know where the problem lies, but the Netgear frequently disconnects me from the internet. Sometimes it starts working if I plug it out and then replug it or sometimes when I restart the Belkin router... What could be the problem? Any suggestions please?

check the router for signs of overheating :)
if so then you can replace the peice under warranty

Well, the netgear one heats up. Atleast that I observed. But how do I exactly troubleshoot such a problem? Can you give me some advice?

@Chota Cheeta
Well, I use Comcast, supposedly the best here in US of A. When I directly connect it to my desktop, I have no problem at all...
