Chronic Disconnect Problem uclamathguy 11-28-05

I have now gone through 4 routers (2 Linksys WRT54Gs, a Netgear and the
DLink DGL-4300) and I am still experiencing the same problem.

When I returned to my apartment after Thanksgiving, my router just
stopped working on the WAN side (Firefox displays Looking for host...).
After doing a reset, all works fine (wired) for about 5 minutes, and
then the thing dies again. LAN works, but WAN bites the dust. I cannot
ping IPs or domains on the internet.

After going thru this many routers and having the EXACT same thing
happen on all of them, I am thinking it is an issue regarding the
apartment building's internal network (connected to a T1) and how I
have the router configured. The Cisco router for the building hands out
192.168.1.x addresses. So my router hands out 192.168.0.x addresses.
Could this be an addressing issue? Any suggestions?

TIA,
R

Do you happen to notice an excessive amount of static in your
appartment? Dont think its a routing/network issue.

Static? No. I did ask the manager and he claims that when residents use
routers, they "loopback" to the system (I imagine he means gateway
router) and causes some to lose connectivity. What type of problem does
this imply? It seems that other people are able to use their routers
without any problems.

Wait, I do have the DGL-430 sitting in front of a computer audio
speaker, but it does not emit static. Do speakers release some type of
electromagnetic interference that could interfere with the router?
