Do you mean the internet connection? Are you sure it's the router losing the
connection and not the modem? You could check this by pinging the router, or
trying to access the router setup page the next time it happens. In my
limited experience, routers tend to work or not work.
The D Link router will probably work without any additional setup, but it
would be wise to check the settings just the same. You want to be sure the
password is changed, the firewall is on, and DHCP is set properly. There are
likely a number of other options you may wish to investigate as well.

My BEFSR41 Linksys router loses connection from time to time.  Unplugging
and plugging it back in gains a connection.   I've purchased a  DI-604
D-Link router to replace the Linksys.   Both are wired 4 port Ethernet
Broadband routers.

I cannot find any info on replacing a router.   Are there steps I need to
take to clear the computer of the Linksys info before installing the D-Link?
