Well for about the last week or so, I've been having to reboot my cable modem and router in order to keep the internet functional. It usually happens like this: first the htttp stops working, but IMs, email, and other things work (for a while), then everything else shuts down after about 10 minutes or so. My ISP claims everything is working great and that modems need to be rebooted periodically (but I don't think they need it 3 times a day, as I have been doing).
On another note, I noticed in my security log for my router that I am getting "blocked DoS" like 4 times a minute, all day, all night. There's about 10 different IPs that are trying to get in, and I tracked some of them to China and other places. I have the following security installed:
WPA-PSK (no server)
MAC address filtering for the 4 computers on my network
Does not broadcast SSID
Does not respond to pings on WAN
and software firewalls inside the network on each computer
I have not had problems before this week, and so I'm really concerned at this point.
So my theory is this: I have a dynamic IP address, and I'm just guessing someone else got hacked a few times on this IP, so I'm getting all these hacking attempts. Furthermore, I think it's spamming my modem out to the point where I have to reboot it to get the internet working again.
Or it could be something simple, like my modem is going out.
What do you guys think? And chew, it's a brand-new splitter, still under warranty, and it passed all the diagnostics.

First off: - Did you upgrade the firmware in the router?
- What brand/model number is the router?

Firmware is up to date.
Make/Model: Belkin Wireless G Router
Something I forgot to mention above: right about the same time that the http goes out, the "data" light on the modem starts blinking slower.

I'd suggest hooking the cable modem directly to your computer and see if it's the cable modem or the router.

I've had too many bad experiences with Belkin. The linksys G routers are under 50$ online now.

I agree with Zer... Linksys is the way to go... Their CS sucks, but products are pretty nice.

are you sure it doesn't have to do with the mechanism that splits... the splitter?
i'm just wildly guessing though. i think the entire splitter should be checked.

check the splitter that goes the the other splitter. Once you check that, you may be able to conclude that t was the original splitter that fucked up the other splitter, then you can replace THAT splitter with a new splitter and hope that splitter was the problem, otherwise you will need to go beyond the splitters. okay?
