I have 50/mps per second cable internet with RCN but ive been having this problem for a while. Every 15 minutes or so my internet cuts out for a few seconds, I only notice it when I am gaming or skyping. It is pretty frustrating when playing games like LoL. Its not my computer since this one is new and my old one had the same problems.

Important notes:
Im using an ethernet cable connected to a router in my room.
The router is connected to the modem downstairs.
The problems seemed to have started when I switched from using wifi from the router to simply plugging it in to the computer.
It may have also when I upgrade my internet to 50/mps and therefore needed to get a N modem, this router is a G.

Any help would be really appreciated :D
Ps: I am a big n00b when it comes to networking :(

What's the model of you router? It sounds like the router is dropping the signal.
