Hey again, basically now I tried the modem on its own for a while, no problems at all. So I thought maybe its fixed itself and tried putting the router back into the equation and after 5 minutes, I had the same problem. All the right lights are on on the router, but the upload/download lights were not lighting on the modem and the PC was complaining that there was no connection. I tried plugging my sisters laptop into the router as well, same problem. This time I also noticed the 'Internet Gateway' in 'Network Connections' was disabled and it would not let me re-enable it as it would always get an error.

So I really do not know what to do, it works if I reset the modem but if I have the problem and plug the modem straight into the PC during the problem, I still need to reset the modem, so I have absolutly no idea what exactly is at fault.

Any advice at all would be extremely appreciated.
