My set-up: router connected to modem, my pc connected with a cable to the router, 4 other family wireless devices connected to the wireless.

situation: intermittent connection coming from the router, i lose connection several times a minute, ive been on a loop of 10 second of connection then like 15~ seconds of downtime SINCE this morning.

i ping my default gateway, the rotuer, 192.168.1.1 and i see this intermittance because it EITHER pings and works 100% or times-out.

i can access the internet just FINE if i plug my computer directly to the modem.

i tried doing a power cycle. i havent made config changes to the router.

i tried replacing the cable between modem and router with a known-good UTP cable with no effect
What make of router? How old is it?
Have you unplugged the power from the wall plug and waited 10 min?
Also, there may be a reset switch that requires a paper clip or small object. Doing that will put all settings back to default.

[okay it works better now]
from Linksys, WRT54G v.6  it's old of like 5 years, but it acted flawless up until now.
I did a 10min power cycle as per ur suggestion, when i powered it back up it's still the same.
i did the reset to factory from the web page then a power cycle and now it works, but i don't understand how a good configuration can go wrong like that. ill put it as solved.
