Can anyone help me. Every 10 or 15 minutes the internet dies down to a very slow painstaking crawl. For exmaple if I'm playing Halo 2 online, my router acts up and my connection goes into the red and sometimes I drop out. On firefox, nothing loads, it goes straight to the Server Cannot be Found. On AIM/MSN, after the immense lag, I get 50 messages at once. My router is a Netgear which is supposed to be a good router...I know it isn't Yahoo DSL because a direct connection is fine and I get no lag at all. Does anyone know if there is some setting or anything I can do to alleviate the dropping connection?

Unplug for a minute, plug back in. If it still don't work get a new one.

I've done that so many times I've lost count. It never works.
