I have also experienced strange network connectivity issue with a Netgear router, but I have never suspected SyncBack of causing the problems.
The chances of SyncBack turning off your wifi are very very low, if not quite zero. My own experience suggests that network activity, any network activity, can mess around with connections if my system is misconfigured.
I never did get to the bottom of it, but my Netgear router has been through several episodes when my ADSL connection was dead when I went to use it in the morning. Fortunately, this hasn't happened in quite some months. There was nothing to suggest that SyncBack was involved. The disconnection happened over night, before the PCs turned themselves on and SyncBack did its stuff.
My guess is that you might well see exactly the same symptoms if you had some other process going on and causing the same sort of traffic pattern as SyncBack. In other words, it is a network issue.
You were probably on the right track when you started talking to Netgear about the problem. This scenario is even more likely if SyncBack is using the LAN connection than the wifi.
I have found that some hardware does not play nicely with the Netgear. For example, I have an Edimax access point that it a pig to configure. If I get any more problems like this again, I am going to ditch the Edimax and replace it with something more robust.
