Hello!

I am writting to share a certain problem with my wireless router.

4 weeks ago I bough very basic wireless router TP link (TL-WR720n).
It is being used on my main desktop computer, whioch has my cable internet, in order to provide wireless in the flat and I cna use the internet in other rooms on my laptop.

After these few weeks, however, I am starting to experience problems on a daily basis.
Quite often (at least once per day) either my desktop loses connection to the internet (solid connection with the cable through the router) or my laptop (wireless) can not connect to the internet.
When such things happen, according to the win7 network and sharing center, there is a connection to the router, but from router to the internet itself there is a problem.

Usually, if i just unplug the router, wait a few seconds and then plug it in, it works again. One time, however, I had to resert the router and reconfigure it to make it work again.

Anyone have any ideas why, after 4 weeks of flawless work, these problems start to appear on a daily basis?

My internet is provided by one company, which doesnt give any modems etc. but I have a cable that comes straight into my flat.
While having my cable plugged in directly (in my desktop), it works flawlessy all the time.
If this gives any hints, I have static IP, thus, when configurating my router, I have to enter all the details (Ip, subnet, gateway, dns etc).
Maybe my modem decides to change those and thats when i lose connection? I have also cloned my MAC adress, if thats of any signifficance.
