After the ever occuring and frustrating disconnectin/reconnecting internet, my dad finally went out and got a new router.  First one i had him get that i looked up last night when i was dead tired wasn't what we needed.  The new one we have is a lot better.  it's a 802.11n Netgear router and oh boy is it fast.  I never knew that our internet was this fast.  That and no more dropped internet and things are a lot less annoying :)
