I'm going to ask the obvious - have you checked to see if your router
has the latest firmware installed? Have you verified all the
settings? If you are using WiFi, did you change the default
settings? If not (most people don't and I should thank them for the
free internet access!) then you could be having interference issues.
Try moving to channel 11.
And after reading to the bottom I see that you are asking if you need
to configure the router... YES! The default settings may work, but
they are less than optimum. If you need help, ask, I set-up home
routers all the time. It isn't rocket science, but it is technology...
