I had a moden through Centurylink, and every 10-15 minutes or so, the internet light went completely out, while all other lights remained lit. It came back on after 2 minutes. This prevented me from loading webpages on my PC ( Win XP, connected through Ethernet) and using Wi-Fi on devices, 1 phone continuously and a laptop when used. (although Wireless light remains lit, along with all other lights). I called Centurylink and they came and gave a new modem, stating that the old one was burnt out. Once they left, the new modem also encountered this same problem but it seems like a shorter down time for the internet, like 30 seconds or so. What could the problem be? Telephone? Some sort of Firewall?). I will be checking my wireless drivers tomorrow.

if it was the internet light then it is either the router or they tried to avoid conversation giving you a new router,in these cases it has to do with the isp.
