point your browser to 192.168.0.1

the username is admin and the password is password

In the setup section, go to wireless settings

You will see a box there for channel. Try changing the channel and see if this gives you a more soild connection

ok, earlier today I disabled the wireless thru the control panel and hooked up the hard wire to the modem. But I still got some of the same disconnects happening, suggesting mebbe not the wireless thingy. So it may be a traffic problem with my ISP or summin else?

This is where you guys are beyond my comprehension, I guess.

I see the word firmware mentioned on the site StevieG pointed me to, under Maintenance/Gateway Status on the left hand menu there. but I don't even know what firmware means, never mind how to upgrade it.

might be a google session coming up...

More terms to throw at you. Firmware is software more or less. It's software that runs in an "embedded" environment.

embedded software

firmware

An incomplete definition of firmware but basically it's embedded software that directly interfaces to the hardware to provide the required functionality of the device such as a router. Think of all the functions inherent in your router and the firmware is the software that facilitates those functions more or less.
