Exclamation Hourly Disconnects - Vista
I currently have 2 desktops and 1 laptop connected to a Linksys WRT54G2 router.

The problem is for the last two years the internet has disconnected and reconnected every hour on the dot. (1pm, 2pm 3pm, etc)

Since this started, we have went through 2 routers, so I doubt its a router configuration problem.

I have tried hooking up one of the PC's directly through the back via ethernet port, and still had the same problem.

I am thinking its something wrong on the ISP's side or a problem with windows Vista, because all three computers are running on Windows Vista.

Please help, this has become a problem since I am currently engaged into online gaming.

Does your modem remain connected? Have you tried removing your router from the network loop, and connecting a computer directly to the modem? What does your ISP say about your issue?

What's the EXACT make/model of the modem that is connected to that router? What is the ISP in question?

This isn't a problem that I ever heard of with Vista, I have two Vista computers here, and I've never seen anything like that.
