Disconnection problem

[BoSlim]

So I just got new internet almost 2 months ago, its comcast, and we have a wireless G router. I was connected to it just fine for a month straight, no disconnects ever. A week ago, one of my roomates shut off the power that the modem/router are in so he could fix a light switch. Now, unless I have the "wireless zero configuration" started and running all the time, I will get disconnected within a half an hour. The problem with keeping that on is in tfc every minute that it searches I will lag for about 5 seconds. The only option I can think of is to increase the time in between searches from 1 minute to say 20, but I feel like the reason it stays connected now is only because when it feels like disconnecting the config senses it and keeps it on, and if it disconnects in between 20 mins I will have to do it manually.

Why would shutting off the power have anything to do with getting disconnected all of a sudden, and is there anything I can do to stop it? Its a pain in the ass when playing tfc and having to suddenly be disconnected, only to manually turn on the search feature and be back in the server in a minute.

I need more info. What do you mean you get disconnected after 30 minutes? Does your connection completely shut off or does it simply reset? If it shuts off, what do you have to do to get it back up? This is in regards to the situation where you don't turn wireless zero configuration on, by the way.

turn off all of the computers in your house and unplug your modem and plug it back in after 5 minutes

It completely disconnects, all I have to do to get it back is turn on/start wireless zero config, and it connects again almost instantly, then i stop it again and go back to playing.

And qs, I could try that I suppose but theres 5 people in the apt i'm in, maybe i'll do that tomorrow if theres no other solution.
