2. Err? I use the same modem and router as yours and i didn't experience all these. I have 3 computers hooked up to the router and one to the wireless. But my connection doesn't slowed down. Your router may have problem i think. Check your router's setup and your network connection. Try to re-setup your network connection. The modem and router is not the problem cause your connection slowed down or dropped.
3. I had the same problem with a Linksys WRT54G and a cable modem. In my case I think it was actually my service, but I have a few recommendations to try... 1. Try plugging the computers one at a time straight into the cable modem (bypass the routers) and see if you still have the same symptoms. If so, then the router is not the problem. (If both computers have the same problem when connected straight to the modem, it's your modem or service... if it's only one computer, that computer may have spyware or similar.) 2. Try upgrading the firmware in your router. The safe bet is to go to the Linksys site and download the latest firmware, then use the router configuration utility to program it into the router. There are some popular aftermarket firmware packages for that router as well if you search for them. 3. If you're running file sharing software on one or both computers, sometimes routers have trouble dealing with the number of simultaneous connections that are generated. Try shutting down the file sharing software and see if that helps. 4. Make sure you enable some kind of encryption (preferably WPA or AES) on the wireless side of the router to ensure somebody isn't pirating your connection and running high-bandwidth stuff (like file-sharing) that might take your router down. 5. If your cable modem is losing sync (the light on the front that says "Cable" or something like that) it could be your service. If you call the company, and especially if they visit, plug your computer straight into the modem. Otherwise they will blame the router. 6. Try doing a traceroute (go to a command prompt and type "tracert www.yahoo.com") and see how far your packets are getting. That will let you see if the connection is being lost at your router, your modem, at your provider, or somewhere farther out on the internet. Even if everything is configured correctly, resetting the modem/router is typically needed once in a while....
