Linksys router

Anyone considering a new router should beware the linksys BEFSR41 version 3. I was fighting with one for a couple of days till I found out online that others were having similiar problems. Any other version is ok and a new firmware release will most likely fix version 3.

Looses internet connection whenever, for no apparent reason. The Broadband Report website has several people complaining of the same thing.

I have that issue quite often unfortunetly.

Quite annoying to say the least.

Is this one ISP that has issues or several ISPs?

As you know I have been running the same router (Linksys BFSR41 V.2) on a cable network for a long while without problems.

I upgraded the Firmware to version 1.45.7, Jul 31 2003 last weekend without any problems (apart from my inability to tell the time).

You are ok with version 1 and 2. It is just version 3 that is giving all the trouble. It does not discriminate among isps.
