I bought a new modem Belkin n150, it was working properly for a month. From yesterday, I am facing a strange problem.

When I power on the modem all lights power/modem/internet boots up and working fine.
After 10-15 mins, all of a sudden i am unable to connect to internet but i could see all lights are still on. I MEAN ITS STILL ON (Seems like struck).
If I immediately power off and power on all lights stays still and no internet connection.
If I turn it off for some time say 10 mins and then I power on, its working as I mentioned in #1, again after 10 mins issues mentioned in #2,#3 and #4 continues.
More important when its struck (all lights still on), I am unable to connect to the ASDL home page (192.168.2.1)

I am really confused what is going on with my router.

Steps taken

Checked connectivity
Re-connected all wires
Tried restore factory settings (when i am able to connect for 10 mins)
Tried to press & hold reset button (not working when modem lights still on)

How can I over come this problem ?

the belkin n150 is just a wireless router, it doesn't have a broadband modem integrated in it.

who is your isp? you say you cannot connect to your adsl homepage, do you actually have adsl or are you referring to your belkin router setup page?

things I would try (idk if you are connected via ethernet or wireless)
1) connect via ethernet and see if problem persists
2) if available, update the firmware on the router and see if problem persists
3) connect via ethernet DIRECTLY to your broadband modem and see if problem persists
4) if inconsistency still occurs, then you have a problem with your modem/and or signal to the modem, time to call your ISP

oh ok my mistake, a google search of "belkin n150" only turned up routers. But since you're already connect with ethernet, I would try to update the firmware on your device or call your ISP and have them verify your signal strength is ok. Also try connecting another computer/device and see if that experiences the same intermittent connectivity as your above mentioned computer.
