Why does my router keep needing to be reset?
In my residence we have 3-4 laptops, 2 ps3s, 3 xbox 360s, 2 wiis, and 2 3DS systems between all the roommates. We have a netgear router. A few weeks ago, the router suddenly stopped working for my laptop. Everyone else's tech was still working fine and connected, EXCEPT my laptop. Since then, every few days and in increasing numbers, this will happen and I have to keep resetting my router, to the point that sometimes I will reset it, go upstairs, and have to come back downstairs to reset it again within ten minutes. All the while, everyone else's laptops, systems, etc, will be working fine. In fact, during the course of me writing this, I have had to reset twice.
I have a Sony Vaio laptop. My product key is VPCEH24FX, if that helps.
Why do I have to keep resetting? What is wrong with my laptop/router?
I assumed that the problem isn't with my router. But resetting my router is the only thing that lets my laptop connect as little as it does.
And how far away I am doesn't matter. Same difference no matter where I am.
Telling me 'it's not your router' doesn't actually help me solve the problem I AM having.
Can I get some help on what I CAN do, instead of 'don't do that'?

This is NOT a router problem so stop messing with it. Either you are too far from the router, or you have a bad setting on your machine, or there is a problem with your wireless card. If everyone else is connecting and you can't the router can NOT be at fault.
