Every now then, i experience problems( with occasional jumps in frequency)with my Internet connection. It just stops working, but the modem doesn't make a single change, just stays the way it was before the Internet went out. All i have to do is disconnect the power cord to the modem, and reconnect to activate it again, so i was wondering if anyone knew what could be causing this and if there's anything i could do. This is especially annoying when I'm playing Internet games, where as I'm kicked out of the game each time it happens. I use cox high speed Internet and my modem is a RCA model DCM315R. Thanks you.

Your modem is probably bad and needs replacing...contact your ISP and talk to them about what is happening! In The Matters Of Style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, Stand Like A Rock "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."

Is you modem connected to a power bar? Try connecting direct to the wall outlet
