Linksys WRT120N Keeps disconnecting

Question

Greetings everyone!
Well, my problem is that my Cisco Linksys WRT120N router keeps disconnecting, my family and me are all using the wireless connection. But sometimes the router just disconnect us all, its like its restarting, it only close down for like 5 - 10 secounds and then its back on. Sometimes it does it like every secound hour and sometimes it does it 3 times in 10 min. I usually play games on it and even tho I am the only one using it, it still disconnects. 
We got 2 wireless cameras running on a secound router that is merged (Thats what the nerd that setted it up for us told me) with the primary existing router. I am not really that good at computer I just dont want to get disconnected all the time. 
Have a really good weekend and take care!

Hi there,
If this is true on both wired and wireless connection, isolate the concern by connecting your computer to the modem directly. Observe the connection while connected to the modem. If the connection is unstable behind the modem, you need to contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to fix the issue. If the connection is fine on the modem, reset and reconfigure the router. If the problem is present only on the wireless connection, you can reconfigure the wireless settings. Change the channel width to 20 MHz only and select channel 1, 6 or 11 to avoid wireless interference. Also make sure the router is on a higher and open location. By the way, it would help if the router’s firmware is up to date.
