Internet keeps dropping

Hi Guys,

Over the last few months my internet connection keeps dropping, this can be reconnected by clicking the troubleshoot problems button in the network internet access tab in the bottom right hand corner of the toolbar (Win 7).

I have a netgear router and when it is down i can still access it and the internet connection seems to be stable but my brother still gets the intermittent issue as well.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Right, when the internet connection drops i can still access the router (192.168.0.1 in address bar) and the router still shows as connected to the internet.

Any ideas?
