wireless
You need to read the router's manual and set you network up to be protected by password. Don't know how to tell you cause I'm no longer wireless.

ddp sure will be able to help with that!

In the meantime disconnect the router or modem from cable when not in use by yourself.That way no one else can connect.

nopee it doesn't mean someone was trying to connect, and if someone is trying to connect it shouldn't be kicking you off

Does the light on your router go off when your disconnected?
If it does it could be a bad line or other physical wire to your home

but this doesn't seem to be the only cause for this problem

yes the light goes off when it disconnects.havnt considered it could be a bad line might have to call housing trust social worker and see if he can get it checked.is there a simple way i can check it myself???the links were interesting other people having the exact same problem as me.thanx for the links and advice.

not off the top of my head.can try asking my brothers and sister what router they use.

edit:alright my mum contacted my ISP as payment is coming off her credit card and not mine and she has a homephone and i dont.apparently the phone line is fine but they have a record of me disconnecting at odd times.gotta get credit for my mobile and ring them on monday and they will see if they can fix the problem.
