Router problems

Something weird is happening with my computers router. When i was on my computer, all of a sudden it stops working. Then an hour later, it goes back on (the internet). This isnt happening with anyother computers in my house, just mine and my brothers. Maybe its the ISP? It only works when i have a direct connection to my comp from the modem, not through the router.
This started happening yesterday, and its really annoying to deal with. Maybe its a sign to get a new router?

Are you using wireless? and is your whole house wireless network??

im also wireless and stil have wires all over the place.

It could be viruses... or maybe the service is installed on THAT pc and you need to direct link it..

It could be ulimited things.. it would be best to call your services support... so they can test each port.

Yes you would best be off contacting your host/isp.

I have some questions too, though:
Do you have a firewall?
What type?
When did you last do a virus scan?
Can you do that now?
