So for the past 6-8 months my Internet keeps randomly dropping and i have to reset the router every time in order to get it to work again. When i mean drop i mean videos fail to load pages on my web browser fail to load, idevices fail to load, ect. There are around 9-11 devices on the Internet at the same time (2 hooked up through ethernet). we have 50Mbps dowload and 5-10Mbps upload. That should be enough to handle all the devices on the Internet. My modem is a arris tm602g. I have two routers, the main one is a netgear n300 and then the second one is hooked up as a repeater and that one is a old belkin. Please help me figure this out, its startking to get really annoying.

It would help to know the exact model numbers of your wireless routers (N300 is not a model number).

Which router do you have to reset, or do you reset both routers? Do only the routers require resetting, and not the modem? Do all devices connected to both routers loose connectivity at the same time? Do you get any specific error messages in the browser or network status icon? Does the Belkin use stock firmware in repeater mode? Any other related details will be a great help.

We reset the main router only, never tried the modem. I have no clue if the belkin is running stock firmware in repeater mode. My dad said all he did was set it up as an access point. All the devices wired and wireless lose internet all at the same time. No we do not have any errors show, it says we are connected but doesnt load anything. the modem model number istm602g/ct. All the devices hooked up to the internet: ipod touch 4th gen, acer mini laptop (dont know model), kindle fire hd, kindle fire, ps4, xbox 360 (ps4 and 360 dont run at the same time), blue-ray player, dell laptop (dont know model), another laptop, my custom built pc, my dads custom built pc. thats all the things connected to the internet, i dont have anything else i can tell you.
