However, during these drops, my modem lights remain normal. There is no flickering of lights, no reset, etc. It's as if the modem is still holding a connection.

When the connection drops, it comes back on it's own after a minute or two. Or, if I reset my modem/router at the plug it comes back.


Also, my power levels appear to be absolutely fine -


Downstream Receive Power Level: 7.5 dBmV
Upstream transmit Power Level: 48.5 dBmV


I was hoping to get a little insight into whether it is likely to be my modem/connection or my router causing the issue. The fact that the modem's lights remain healthy leads me to believe that it might be my Linksys router.


I have been using this particular connection and modem/router set-up for years and this has never happened before.


Many thanks.

I am having the same problem and have been for a while, it seems to be getting worse lately!
