If that is the ONLY problem, then go get yourself an appliance timer for about 5 bucks from wal-mart. Set the timer to turn OFF for about an hour every morning around 2 or 3 AM. Plug your modem into it. If that doesn't do the trick, plug your router into it instead. I suspect it is actually the modem though. -Dave
I am using a Dlink DCM-202 modem and a DL-624 router with Cox cable service. About every couple of days my connection drops from its normal

Well, at least you figured it out. I'm trying to remember where I saw a good deal lately . . .
Hmmmm, buy.com had a Belkin wireless for about 30 bucks, sold out of course.
Check Amazon for D-Link DI-524. 30 bucks after rebate, free shipping. Wireless "G", also. -Dave
That does seem to indicate where the problem lies... Grin.
I believe Linksys 54g wireless router with 4 port switch is only $50 after rebates at BestBuy.
Actually it was the router - it died a couple of hours ago - it won't power on at all.
