[G4] Router Problem

[Snow White]

I have had a very simular problem and it turned out to be my Router.

  I used my ISP tech help to find out it was not the modem and then I 
knew it was the router - my WAN port had died.  I did not believe them 
right off because ISPs always blame your equipment instead of their own 
but the tech dude was right.  I bought a new router and it worked fine 
again.
