So i would be playing my PS4 and around 2 hours maybe sooner maybe later i would lose connection for about 30 seconds, yesterday i got a new modem to try and find out if it was my router or modem, last night it did the same thing, so i changed router and i have not played ps4 to try and see if its does it again. But for the last hour of playing everything was fine. Let me also add, that the ps4 is wired.

i just trying to see is my router shot, or is there a setting i need to look into that could be causing the 30 second dropped connections my router is Linkseys EA3500. Any input would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

What you are describing is often the first sign that the router is starting to go. I would recommend to swap out the router.

I can agree with digitaldoc to an extent, well yes it could be your router dieing but it can also be a lot of other problems such as kinks in the Ethernet Cable, EMI to the cable which is caused by poor twisted pairs, it can be the copper from your home to the exchange point, and it could be your ISP's server, replace the cable with a decent Cat 5e cable and if it fails and continues to happen ring your ISP for further diagnostics
