Alright all you tech wizards out there. I'm in need of some assistance.
About 6 months ago, I started having problems with my internet connection. Both my modem (Motorola) and router (Linksys) were about three years old at the time. The connection would just cut out completely. I'd have to unplug power to the modem and sometimes the router too, to reset them. The connection would work fine for a few hours, a day or days and then it would cut out again. A few months ago, I got a new modem (another Motorola) from my ISP, and a new router (Netgear). The problem continues, but all I have to do now is loosen the cable connection and jiggle it a bit and the internet connection is restored to the modem (I don't have to reset it or the router). I've tried different cables and switched the coupler in the wall jack, but the problem persists.
Any ideas?
