My router did something like that. For months it was fine and then erratic. Thanks to others in this forum I read a new firmware was out and amazingly it fixed that plus cured another bug.
You didn't tell if you did this or the more usual SPYWARE removal.

my cable connection has been erratic of late,,,,,dropped connections, that required me disconnecting/connecting the power on it and sometimes the dlink router. it's acting like the modem is the problem. anyway, i called roadrunner support, and as is usual in these cases, they tried to place blame on the router(this after i tried two different, working routers)
so here's one explanation roadrunner gave me.....that the router is changing settings, specifically, that it might be changing port settings. what do you think of their explanation?
i've been using this setup(router and cable box)for years with no problem. this has happened only in the last two days.
