I would start by calling your cable company and explaining the problem.
  If you "rent" your modem (which you most likely do) then you really
should push them to just send you a replacement modem.  That's the
easiest for you and for them.

I have a linksys router hooked up and have one other computer on the network. Up until about a week ago everything worked great, I haven't brought any new programs in since and my task bar icons show that I am connected when I am not. Also have an APC 500 va UPS connected that the router and cable modem are hooked into
