It used to be that I could expect to be dropped from the router (internet connection to my broadband Modem)once a month. But lately it happens almost once a day. I know the routine by heart. Power down the computers, pull the plugs on the router and modem, reconnect the plug to the router then the modem, hit the router resent button and power on the computers. Could it be that it is because the router is 6 years old and does't work quite as well as it once did, just like me? Or is there something that I can do to remedy this problem short of buying a new router?
