    I am with them and don't have that problem.
    can you look at your router logs and see what they say about your SNR etc..

    duno wot u mean about SNR or how to check my router logs. I have a vigor draytek 2200 USB, and have never understood half stuff on it. My network stays connected which leads me to think its F2S

    I have a similar problem (with f2s too) - the internet does not connect even though the network is connected - if i change user accounts or restart the computer the internet is fine??

    It happens occasionally, quite often after playing bf2

    tried getting a updated firmware for the router as you do reinstall the machines keep everything updated, I think it would be software, router or the nic. Hard to say u need to monitor what u do to find out, u prob are now.

    Adjusting (lowering) the MTU might help - if it is a USB modem, you will need to do that in windows. Try googling for MTU tweaker.
