I don't really know what the problem is. I have DSL, however, the modem is connected to a wireless router so I can have WiFi for my iPod touch and Wii. But every 30 seconds to five minutes my connection will seemingly just drops out. This is only really noticeable while downloading large files, when it will suddenly just stop downloading, and I will have to pause, then unpause the download to get it to keep going. Same thing for YouTube, and other flash videos. It will load partway, then just stop and never finish loading. Once it gets to that part of the video, I will have to click on an unloaded part, then back to where I left off to get it loading again.

I wouldn't have much of a problem with this, except now I need to update my iPod through iTunes, and every time to connection skips, the download stops and I have to try to start over, only to have it stop again, etc.

Any suggestions on what to do?
I think it might be the router causing me problems. This has only started happening since I got the router.
