HELP!!! Seriously. This is getting crazy.





Have you tried unplugging the router and waiting 30 seconds or so and then plugging it back in. You can also do that with the modem and the router. Unplug the router and then the modem. Wait a minute or so and the plug the modem in first and then the router and then GO try the internet again. Beings that you have a good connection according to your post you may just have to re-boot the router, or the modem or both. It can't hurt to try that it can only help.Hi,

Like all other hardware devices connected to your PC, even Belkin router connected to the system requires drivers to function. Drivers are the link between the routers and the Operating System and problems with the drivers can cause connection to BREAK. All Belkin router users having the router disconnecting automatically issue are suggested to check the router drivers installed on the system using the device manager. If the drivers are found incorrect/illegitimate or outdated, they would have to be replaced to solve the ISSUES and get the router working properly.michelsmith, routers... are not connected to the computer in any way except for ethernet/wifi. ethernet drivers are built in... and it is obvious that missrose has her wifi drivers up and working.
missrose, how does your modem connect to the internet? through pppoe? if you connect your computer directly to the modem do you need to dial-up? etc.
it would greatly help if you could post your router make and modem make here...
