My router is causing my cable connection to drop

I have a Scientific Atlanta DPC2100 modem from Comcast for their cable internet service.

I then have the internet signal sent to my router, from which I have a couple of connections:

- Desktop PC

- Vonage modem and wireless LAN for laptops in my home.

Things were fine until a couple of weeks ago, when suddenly, I lost connection to the Web. This could be fixed by unplugging the cable modem, waiting a minute and plugging it back in. However, it is happening several times a day, so it is pretty cumbersome. When I take the router out of the mix and just connect the cable modem to the PC, then the connection doesn't drop. Seems like something downstream is affecting my cable modem ... I even changed routers, but that didn't help. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
