    My internet keeps on disconnecting every 1 Hour. When im playing a game it will disconnect me, even when im on AIM just chatting.
    My Router is an Airlink101-AR504. Any help would be nice because im fed up with this disconnection every one hour.

    Could be an over amount of spyware and malware running through the router causing it to d/c. Or it could be that it is over heating. Scan all the computer you have in you house with all the security/ ant-etc software you have.

    Also you could try taking the top off the router, if you can just to cool it down.

    *cry* none of those suggestions worked
    You think it could just be my router itself?

    It very well could be. I had a netcomm modem and that disconnected on me all the time but only for a minute or two then I'd be online again. So I bought a Billion 5102 modem/router and has been good ever since. You may want to try manually configuring your modem first before buying a new one or get some support from yor ISP.

    Try updating the Firmware (if you can)

    Other than that i would ditch it and buy a new one, if you've had it more than six months, if you have had it less than 6 months keep trying.

    Well i upgraded my firmware for my router, lets see if it works. And IM1 you can always do what Nicklt said. Remove the top of your router to cool it down.
