ive been dcing a few times a day so i called cox and the guy told me to unplug the router for a day and just have my computer plugged into my modem only. so for 24 hours i didnt dc once so nothing is wrong with my modem. the modem and the router "miscommunicate" so i need a new router. what router would work perfect with this modem http://www.amazon.com/Arris-TM602G-ARRIS-Telephony-Modem/dp/B0039UWW54/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1388344174&sr=8-7&keywords=arris+modem ?

Stay away from Linksys. Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) in my family has used Linksys at some point, and they've all died within 1-2 years. My sister had two of them, and they both died within a year. I made the mistake of buying one just over a year ago, and it died a couple months ago.

 

Go buy Netgear. I've never once had a problem with a Netgear router. Everyone I know is now using Netgear routers and they're all happy. I'll never buy Linksys again.... took me far too long to learn that lesson. They were the best routers you could get 10 or so years ago, but they're not even close anymore.

EDIT: And I just noticed the last line in your first post. LOL

 

Disregard...

By "dying" I mean the routers cease to function. All devices connected lose their ability to detect the router.

 

As for contacting Netgear, you might want to start here... http://support.netgear.com/

how is your headset dylan?

siberia v2s are comfortable and have great sound quality

 

and i fixed my internet, i had the ethernet cord plugged into "internet" instead of ethernet on the router, so if i dont dc once in 24 hours ill know if its fixed. this shit was stressful talking to cox people and they dont even mention to check those plugs i just thought about looking at it
