Since English may not be your native language, I fixed your message, here, so folks can understand it.

I am? I volunteer here, just like other folks, and I am not obligated to do anything but stick to the forum rules.
I'd say, get a decent router, and see if that cleans up the problem.
Seems that you are not alone. You can google for more information on your router, but here is one link:

You have a combination modem/router. I don't know enough about them to give you an educated answer.
Hopefully, someone else will drop in and offer some assistance.

I am not sure. Your current router is built into a DSL modem, I believe.
Check with your ISP. Is that where you got your router?

the 2wire 2701 is a decent modem/router combo. when you get disconnected look at the modem and see if you see the dsl light flashing, if it is you are dropping sync and your problem is not a wireless issue, it is a connection issue. if the dsl light is not flashing you can go into the router by surfing to 192.168.1.254(should be ), then look around and make sure the wireless signal is at max power. you can also change the channel and see if that helps.

yes the DSL lights flash alot of times and I'm guessing that happens because I play alot of online games and I would like to upgrade to a better router like a linksy one but someone said I can't because of the modem can't I still use a different router though I never even use my computer I'm always all day on wireless so why not just get a wireless router rite? AT&T can't use wireless routers?

if the dsl light is flashing, you are dropping sync you dsl is dropping out, it is not a wireless issue, call your ISP to trouble shoot the connection
