Look, it's obvious that you enjoy being rude. I simply don't have the
technical knowledge to follow through with some of the information that
has
been given on this group (most, with good intentions, I believe).
However,
have you not noticed that I said this problem *pre-dates* both of the
surge
suppressors. So, it began before I had the regular surge suppressor and
the
backup USB, and the same problem continues with them in place!

Anyone that says the surge suppressor is the problem is a complete
idiot who has no knowledge of networks. Replace your dodgy router and
be done with the problems.
I think that's what I am going to have to try, but that does take me back
to
my original question - setting up security that I had paid for originally.
I know one responder said that's "easy," and I will call LinkSys if the
manual doesn't help. The "manual" with my current router was simply a
leaflet that showed how to connect it, but there was no information on
security. Of course, the router is several years old. Ironically, it is
the only component that is not new -- so, the "weak link," I suppose.
Thanks,

I did not see a response to something I said earlier:
If, as you stated, you are losing your cable connection also, how
could it be your LinkSys router?
Your Cable TV does not go through the LinkSys.
Sorry, I did not mean my cable TV. I meant that I lose the Internet and
also lose capability to send or receive e-mail. I use Eudora for e-mail,
and of course that needs access to the Internet to function -- so I did not
describe it correctly. I go directly to Eudora from the desktop, and I
didn't think about the fact that it was really "one and the same" when I
wrote that statement. The TV continues to function during those periods.
