Disconnects

What's good? I have a DSL modem that connects to my Linksys router in
the house. When playing online, I get disconnects often. There could be
a period of time (like 2months straight) with no disconnects, but then
like today, get 3 in a row. Is there something in the router
configuration I could change to help prevent this? I am beginning to
think disconnects will happen. I understand but 3 times in a row? At one
point (about 2 months ago) I disconnected 5 games in a row. I thought it
was my cable, cause it's 50ft. I play mostly in other rooms in the
house. But I am not sure that is the case cause it works like a charm
when it's good. What's up with the intermittent disconnects?

Just did a firmware update to the Linksys like a month ago.

Linksys WRT54G ver 3
Westell Modem

Your config is very unclear. Let me guess:
wireless laptop to linksys router to ADSL modem.
Where's this 50ft cable ?
When you get disconnects, whats between you and the router?
What changes? Anyone using a cordless phone or microwave or video sender?
