That's exactly what I'm doing, sorry if I was confusing before.

For wired only: coax -> ambit 256 -> PC
When using wireless: coax -> ambit 256 -> Lnksys -> PC

The cable to my PC I take out of the ambit 256 and put in the Lnksys, and put the Lnksys in the abmit 256 where the PC was connected to. I've done this for as long as I've had the Lnksys, many years, and have never had this problem until very recently. The connection problems also occur whether I'm using the Lnksys or not, so it's not part of the equation from what I can see, I can not use it for days but I still have gotten the problem with the ambit 256 wired connection only.

In the past we've contacted Virgin with concerns to upgrading the speed because the price we pay for broadband gives a faster speed according to their website, but they say that it isn't free because the price we pay is all tied up with the bundle of other stuff like TV/phone package. So I haven't checked for a while, but I realise the price we pay we could have a higher speed connection if we were a new customer, but Virgin have specifically told us on the phone that an upgrade to an equivalent priced increased broadband speed would not be free.
