Default router problem

I have a wireless router which keeps going offline. The router is used to
broadcast an internet signal to my wife's computer. My computer is
connected directly to my cable modem. In the last few months the signal is
frequently lost and the only way to get it back is to turn off the power to
the router and then turn it back on. Then I click on repair and it usually
restores the signal. I am running vista ultimate. I was thinking it might
be the router. Does anyone have any information on this problem?

It probably IS the router... you never bothered to mention the
brand/model.

Your best connection is to connect the router to the cable modem, then
your computer to the router.

Also, check with the router's manufacturer's website to see if there is
updated Firmware for it.
And, in your Network ConnectionRight-click Properites unbind(untick)
TCP/IPv6
It sometimes causes probs with some ISPs.

Hi
It might be environmental electric interferences, try to change the
transmitting channel in the Router to ch. 1 or 11.
