Try a new certified Cat6 patch cable from your router to the modem (that would be store bought, not self made/crimped). Did you try the modem directly wired to a computer as suggested by others earlier? If your neighbor is having the same issue its likely the router upstream (ISP) is busy and may delay in icmp (ping) reply. Ping is not an ‘only’ tool. Its just one trouble shooting step, but a good one nonetheless.

Routers seem to be a weak link in all of these conversations. Do you have a recommendation for a better household router (wi-fi) that has enough processing power and can reliably work at 400MBPS or 1GB? Or are they all just crap?
