Ok guys need a little help looked all over and everone is having same problem with internet disconnecting and reconnecting. But so far everone i have seen has a wireless router. I am having the same problem. My internet connects and works ok but after a few min it starts having problems. It wont let me connect to some pages and others take up to 2 min to open. I have also had problems with my downloads and online games, alot of times it will kick me off while playing. But it always says my internet is on and running. I have 2 computers hooked in to a linksys router that runs to my road runner modem both are new along with the one computer. I had thought it was the router but this is the 3rd one this month I have replaced thinking that was the problem. Both comps have the same problem I thought it was the router and evertime i get a new one everthing works great for about a week to 3 days then the same problem internet slows down and then disconnects then reconnects ever 1to2 sec causeing my internet explorer and other web browser to not work or take 5 min to open. I have a 22MB download and 4MB upload connection and when i do a speed test it say it is good. I have called my internet provider and they cant find anything wrong.The compter is AMD Phenmon Quad core with 7g of ram so i now it is not the comp it runs eveything good. So if anyone can think of anything it would really help. And if you need any more info let me know i will update everday if need to or faster. Thanks alot
 
Sounds like this is a wireless router you are using connecting to two computers. Cable does go out once in awhile, nothing to do about that. Wireless signals are really weak radios that can be blocked by walls, floors, heating ducts,refrigerators, wireless 2.4ghz phones (which use the same bands) and other wifi networks in your neighborhood. Sometimes if I am standing between the computer and the router I loose signal strength. Also water (rain snow etc) can absorb the signal. Consider the location of the router and the computers. Also the router can work on channels 1-11. Try other channels. A program Stumbler from http://stumbler.net shows what networks are in range. Choose a channel that none of them use.
