My connection has been fine for ages but recently my router (Linksys WRT54GS) drops the internet connection. If I go onto the router and do a DHCP release then renew the connection comes back no problem. Any ideas?

I am a Telewest customer, in the BS30 area (no issues reported). When I am connected speeds are good, speedtest says 19.46mbps down and 1.97mbps up.

I have check the modem setting and:
Downstream Lock : Locked
Downstream Channel Id : 104
Downstream Frequency : 323000000 Hz
Downstream Modulation : QAM256
Downstream Symbol Rate : 6952 Ksym/sec
Downstream Interleave Depth : taps12Increment17
Downstream Receive Power Level : 9.7 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 40.5 dB

which looks Ok from what I can tell.

Upstream Lock : Locked
Upstream Channel ID : 3
Upstream Frequency : 35800000 Hz
Upstream Modulation : QPSK
Upstream Symbol Rate : 5120 Ksym/sec
Upstream transmit Power Level : 55.2 dBmV
Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 4

is the upstream power too much? Is this a cause or just coincidence?

(I tried looking at the modem logs but it was beyond me!)

Any help would be good as it is happening pretty much once a day now!
