I have had Clearwire for over a year and it has been a fine service. (A little slow for streaming video though-I have the minimum speed service.)

The modem is connected to my old Linksys router that I used to use with my cable modem. The connection has been going down about once a week or more, it seems to depend on how much data I am downloading. I think the connection used to go down once in a while with the cable modem too. I have been just unplugging the power on the Linksys router to get the connection back, so I decided to try a new Belkin router to see if it would fix the problem. The Belkin router won't even obtain an IP address from the Clearwire modem. I called Clearwire tech support and what they tried didn't help. The Belkin router will work fine if I plug it into the Linksys router.

Any ideas?
