Default Help on my router please

Can anyone help me?
I have a wireless-G 2.4Ghz Linksys router and a speedstream modem
My Isp is: Sbc
My household has three computers we all share the same internet because we use The router and Adapters.
Both of the Adapter computers started Disconnecting about two days ago. even thought the internet is gone from my adapter computers, it still shows that there is still internet connection on them(when there is no internet the icon would have an x over internet icon) My adapter computers would have then lose the internet and any given random time. But here on the router computer the internet is fine...though it also loss the internet near the nighttime last night but regained it in the morning.

I know that it is either the router or the my isp's problem. cause when both of my adapter computers lose internet at the same time.

Can somone tell me what to do?
Call Sbc?
Get a new router?
Update the router?

Note:The router and adapters have always worked fine before.

Would you be able to define what you mean by "adapters"?

And when you mention having a router, do you have a standard networking router or a wireless one?
And what operating system do these computers run?

Is the router unplugged when not in use, or left plugged into the mains 24/7?

Try unplugging your modem and router for around 5 mins, and plugging them back in. Also consider turning them off at night. Not only will it save power, but it will also make the equipment last longer, and hopefully prevent the problem you are experiencing.

I do not believe that is the problem anymore.
I have noticed a certain pattern.
Near the mornings 6am-12pm my adapter computer has fine connection.
and at 12am at night the connection doesn't dc at all!!!
What could the origin of this problem be?

Repeat steps explained by Ash above. I personally do not like Linksys AT ALL, becuase the exact problems you are describing happened to me too..if these problems persist, I would just go the route of using another adapter like D-Link.

you said you had three computers total right...?

If the third stays on it is not the ISP
Possible router problem, I agree with revolt
