I have this Motorola SBG940 router <a href="http://www.speedguide.net/routers/motorola-sbg940-wireless-cable-gateway-356" rel="ugc">http://www.speedguide.net/routers/motorola-sbg940-wireless-cable-gateway-356</a>&nbsp;which connects the computer that we use to record all our TV shows on, to the internet. It looses the connection regularly. I keep the Windows 7 computer up-to-date and the anti-virus and anti-spyware up-to-date and the ethernet port is built-in. I have tried replacing the ethernet cable to make sure that isn't the problem. I wanted to do a firmware update for the router but am not finding it. Assistance is greatly appreciated.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
