Hey everyone!
First off, I'm in the US (Durham, NC area). We have home wireless network, (3 laptops on wireless and one desktop). We have Time Warner Road Runner using their Motorolla Surfboard modem. That is plugged into the uplink of our linksys wireless router.
What happens is that intermittently, we just completely loose our internet connections, even on the desktop that is hardwired into the router. I tried calling the cable co. and of course, the minute they hear I'm using "my own" router, they tell me it's the router.
I've tried two different Linksys routers and this STILL happens. What are the chances that it's the router? A friend told me that the cable company could be scanning for non-TW routers and "flashing" their connections to make them buy TW routers.
Anyways, ANY info is greatly appreciated!
