    I've been using this router for 6-7 months now. My ISP has always had issues with cutting in and out but it usually only happened occasionally in spurts during peak hours. Over the past 3 weeks my router has been dropping its internet connection as often as every 10-15 minutes and after a few times it refuses to reconnect. The Internet light on my router and the PC light on my cable modem just blink and never connect. I can connect to the internet directly through the modem. I've tried manually adjusting my security settings and I've flashed my firmware on the router to a newer version and an older version. Any Suggestions?

    Try a different router to see if that makes a difference (either borrow one from a friend, or buy one from a place that'll let you return it even if the box is open without taking too much off the top as a "restocking" fee).
