Sarah, your issues sound an awful like what I posted about 9 months ago. My roommate had the VP200 and we kept getting a dropped connection or not at all. After numerous efforts at different things, we still couldn't make it work. We had to keep the VP disconnected when it wasn't being used, and then connected it when it did need to get used (but then the rest of us lost our wireless connection during that time.) It was really frustrating. Anyway, my roommate that has the VP, I ended up getting him the newest d-link router - it combined BOTH the sorenson router AND the wireless router into one piece of hardware - problem solved! He uses the VP anytime he wishes, and none of us lose our wireless connection.
