    Hello. I recently purchased a sony fs550. I also got a d-link router. Recently I seem to have brief moments of no connectivity. Pages won't load and eventually I get a "page can not be displayed" message.

    It usually lasts no longer than 45 seconds. Sometimes simply by closing browser windows and reopening one the problem is fixed.

    Any idea what the issue would be?

    It could be the connection timing out or idling.

    Check the router's control panel - it could be the key lifetime of the WPA-PSK security.

    Might want to update firmware on your router if available.

    You didn't say if this is a wireless router, but check the thread topic "strange problem ... pls help" where the person had a problem with the D-Link wireless router.
