Router and Modem shutting off every few hours, scrolling lag
Hello, ever since I got a new router (kept the same modem) every few hours both would shut off for a few hours.
The names of the router and modem are this..
Router: Netgear (doesn't say anything else)
Modem: Motorola SB5100 SURFBoard Cable Modem
By "shutting off" it doesn't let me connect to the internet, nor any other programs that need the internet to connect. I can connect to Windows Media Player, and stuff like that. When the modem and router are on, the Modem signs are...
Power: Green Online: Green
Recieve: Green PC Activity: Flashes Orange
Send: Green Standby: Black
When it's off...
Power: green Online: Black (not on, basically)
Recieve: green PC activity: Flashes Orange
Send: blinks green ever 3 seconds Standby: Black
The router also gets slow when the modem turns off also.
And lastly, i have a lot of lag when i scroll up and down or move a window, sort of like frame by frame.

Thanks for the help guys. Lately, the modem/router actually has been working MOST of the day. Only a few hours a day it's down.
Also, any advice on the scrolling lag? It's wierd because it's like frame by frame when I scroll up and down.
Also something even more wierd, I tried adjusting the zoom thing on my toolbar and once I did the lag was gone, so I refreshed the page and the lag was back. Whenever I change the zoom it fixes it UNTIL i refresh the page. Same thing with adjusting text size. Wierd right?
