This seemed like the best place for this thread so here it goes. In games such as cod4 and Counter-strike when I hit the refresh button to find servers it will find servers but then reset my modem. So I end up waiting for my connection to re-establish to join a server. This has happened on two different internet providers. Comcast and At&t, does anyone know what causes it?

I had this problem in COD4 as well. I searched for some time and never found an answer. If anyone knows how to fix it please post.

BTW I was using the Linksys BEFSR41 Etherfast Cable/DSL router. Were you using a similar model?

I used to use a linksys router and It would do the same thing. But now i'm using a netgear router and still... the same problem.

DSL or Cable? Do you see the sync itself die out?

Check the logs in router to see why it resets... sounds really wrong.

Don't forget about my questions

When you refresh a server list, it usually connects to a bunch of servers and requests the data, IE, opening alot of connections and then using them. I've run into alot of routers that this happens with (It can't happen with XBLA) and often the cause is it being underpowered, or not good enough.

Its cable. And I'm not sure what you mean about whether or not I can see the sync die out.

This right here is what I'm using http://www.netgear.com/Home/Products/RoutersandGateways/WirelessGRouters/WGR614.aspx

Watch your cable modem and click the button. As the internet dies out, make sure your cable sync does not die out. If it does, there is a signal issue. If not, its probably a firmware issue.

Update to the latest firmware anyway, and give it a shot.
