    ever since we got a new ISP and router we have had frequent disconnects... what it does is it disconnects everyone currently connected for a split second. if ur just surfing the net it has little to no effect, but if ur gaming online it disconnects u from the servers. i eventually noticed that it happens more often when more than 1 person is connected to the net.

    my guess is that it is overloading the router and the router kicks everyone. if u can confirm or deny this plz tell me, and if this is the case do i just need to purchase a router that can handle more traffic?

    start with your isp, check to make sure lines and all are good. Then lets find out what type of router you have.

    if you think it may be your router, connect directly to your modem and see if the problem is still there.
