Recently (Possibly the last month or so) I have been having slower internet than before, seeming like I'm disconnecting/reconnecting at times and pings on games I play sky rocket for sometimes no reason I can find out. I've checked my logs on the router sometimes and noticed "DoS attacks" and think that's possibly the issue, but I still do get the issue and the logs do not report anything at those times. My internet can very rarely, completely disconnect on random and I would have to wait a good minute or two before it reconnects.

Also last month ago, I have formatted my computer but an issue appeared where the recovery partition got corrupted and I had to use a new copy of Windows 7. I was able to install all my drivers and get everything going again so it feels fine. I'm not sure if this could possibly create issues but I didn't get any for a week or two after I did so.

Specs and stuff:
Computer: Gateway NV52L06u
Router: NETGEAR WNR1000v3
Modem: Scientific Atlana (Optimum/Cablevision) DPC2203C
Processor: AMD Dual-Core Processor A6-4400M
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7520G with 512 MB Graphics System Memory
500 GB HDD
15.6" 16:9 HD LED LCD
4 GB DDR3 Memory
802.11b/g/n

Motherboard: Gateway VG50_CM
The Power supply does not have the model or maker on it
Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit)
Atheros AR5B125

ISP: Optimum Online, Cable Modem.
Number of Devices on Router at regular time: 6. This has never been a problem as it's been running with 7-8 devices at once for over several months and have not seen any noticeable drops/ping spikes. One computer is also manually connected through wired, it is not mine.
No error messages from ISP/Computer involving internet.

I have not contacted the ISP in a very long while.

I would like some help on what my problem would be.
I also think I put in some unnecessary info. x;
