Broadband internet.

I use a Mac, I've a Belkin N+ modem/router, my ISP is PlusNet and pay my line rental to BT.
And, I have no idea where the problem might lie or how to figure it out.

The connection drops randomly every 3 to 25 minutes or so. The ADSL lights stays on on the router but the "internet" light goes out. Sometimes the connection comes back by itself after 20 to 30 seconds, other times I have to keep trying to open a new page in the browser.

"Sound smore like the modem resetting as it does not completely recognises the communication protocol.

No idea what it should be but there are usually just a few options."
