Bit of a newbie here, I have had virgin broadband for years and very few problems. I have a linksys wireless-G router which is direct into my desktop pc and then we have anything up to 3 laptops running from it.

Recently we have been 'upgraded' to virgins new 10mb service and I have a new modem from them which is the ambit 256. This is when my probems started. My connection is fine for a while, then suddenly everyone will lose connection and although the lights on the modem are green, we cannot connect without doing the 30 second reboot. This is becoming a several times a day routine. Strangely it seems to be sparked off by someone else on the network logging on or moving files etc. Then it will be absolutely fine again.

I suspect it's settings rather than hardware but am at a bit of a loss where to start!

Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
