So we unearthed a router from.. somewhere. My mother in law used to work for one of those call centers on base, so she has all kinds of networking stuff laying around. Shiny new router, barely used, still doing the same thing. It'll let me online for a short time, then cut out for a while. Since hubby's gone to bed I'm connected directly to the modem and the problem hasn't reproduced itself.
In the morning I'm going to dig out a new networking cable and make sure that's not the problem. If not I suppose I'll call linksys, even though they'll probably try to blame my ISP. And my ISP would blame the router. It's the name of the game.
