I don't get it...
I've wasted so much money on technology these days, I think I'm just done with it. I've gone through 3 ROUTERS in the last 2 years, because each one of them has broke. One of them just quit working altogether, the other one dropped your internet connection every 5 minutes, and now the one I have right now is starting to drop our connections. This is making me furious 
On TOP of that, I just spent a good 2 months trying to figure out what was wrong with the internet. I usually get a good 1200 kbps (I know, slow), but it used to be with my desktop sometimes I was getting around 100 kbps
. I decided to reinstall windows and it seemed to work fine. Up until now I JUST PUT 250 BUCKS INTO THE STUPID THING AND IT DECIDES TO START DOING THAT AGAIN! damn that pisses me off... I don't know what to do... I'm not happy one bit...

What kind of router / cable modem do you all have?
And how is the Home hooked up as far as Cable and Home runs go?

Wow.. And you managed to kill another? Must be something not quite right..
I have always had Linksys routers.. I even gave my old B wireless router to my Cousin and told them to have their puter guy install it for them so when there son comes up he would have wireless internet.. I gave it to them because it was time to upgrade a little..
I have Road Runner High Speed cable.... But Each room has its own separate line... IIRC there are 6 in total... 1 of them is dedicated to the Modem, the other is dedicated to the to the Box... All of the cables meet at a central point where the signal is amplified for the other outlets...
99.999999999999% of the time I never have an issues unless the cable company is working on something..
Also have a Toshiba Cable Modem ( don't think they use these anymore )... No issues there either..
Wish I could be of more help

Linksys router (the newer ones) really do NOT like heat or being warm for long times.
a friend of mine uses them in the Food Stores he does IT work for and when they are in a hot cabent they die like in 3 -6 months.
so if you do not put it in a open air space that might be making it die.
also power has a lot to do with it also, if the power is not clean in the house it can kill thing like routers faster.

OMG! THAT'* IT!!! The last ones got SO damn hot my brother said he nearly burned himself on one
I think I might have blocked the airflow by putting one on top of the other. Thanks Badnit! I'm gonna try that right now!
