have you tried to reset everything? (modem, router, phone line, and power for both)

Yes, numerous times. I think the problem might be that my PS3 is connected to my Router.

maybe if you disconnect everything from it unplug it and let it cool down for a lil while. is there dust building up on it. cuz the dust will clog up the router and make it act funny. if so just clean it out maybe use the suction from a vacuum or something. basically treat it like your ps3/xbox. and if all else fails you can call the router company and have them give you a step by step for trouble shooting the problem. hope this helps in anyway.

Well wireless B is pretty old tech and routers don't last forever. It is possible that it is nearing it's end, but do as the guy before me posted first with the whole cleaning it out, because just like any other electronic it will overheat, but it might be time to junk it and get a new one

I restored it to factory settings and now it is doing fine, that might be the fix.

Well then it was possible that it updated is firmware, because a restore would set it back to stock settings, and lynksis isn't known to have the best firmware
