Hi
As a first step connect a computer to the Router with a wire to make sure it
is not a Wireless issue.
If the behavior persist with the wired computer too, connect a good computer
with a wire directly to the modem, and try it for a while to rule out Quirky
modem.
If it is Not the Modem. Log to D-Link site download the latest firmware and
update the firmware.
If it is already updated re-flash the firmware some time it stabilizes the
unit.
I understand that putting a computer near the Modem might be an hardship,
but otherwise you would get anywhere.

We have a home wireless network connecting through a D-Link DI-524.
Two (sometimes three) WinXP PCs are connected to this wireless
network. The router connects to a Motorola Surfboard SB5101 cable
modem, which is served by Comcast.
For the first few weeks or months, this network was fairly reliable.
However, on a few occasions, the wireless signal would disappear (this
was evidenced because we would automatically be connected to our
neighbors slower network). When this occurred, the problem was
remedied by unplugging the router and replugging it in to reinitialize
it (usually in this case, the lights have stopped blinking on the
router - and they're all frozen "on"). Once in awhile, the wireless
signal IS there, but the internet still doesn't work - on those
occasions unplugging the router and the cable modem fixes the problem
(in that case, the lights on the cable modem are usually indicating
something abnormal).
The big concern is that this is happening more and more frequently now
- at least once or twice a day. Is one of the devices likely to be
failing? I have not yet tried the troubleshooting of connecting one
machine directly to the cable modem and leaving it be for a few days
to see if all is good (mainly haven't tried this because NEITHER
computer is near the cable modem - that's part of the reason we're
running everybody on wireless).
Any thoughts about what might be happening?
Thanks!
