Router going bad?

I have a WRT54G3G-ST, using a verizon PC5750. I have used this set up for 2 years without problem. In the past month, my internet connection disconnects with anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours after connection. Any ideas or suggestions as to what the problem might be would be greatly appreciated.

if you can, you may want to do a factory reset on router and try again.

if its been awhile since you've operated your PC5750 in a slot on your laptop, using verizon's access manager software... do that and make sure that you are still able to surf the internet with card in laptop.

if you can't do that reliably, then troubleshoot that card issue before tackling router.
(you may have to call verizon if the card does not work in laptop)

if it turns out to be your pc5750 and you plan on replacing it, make sure you get something USB that works with superior http://3gstore.com/cradlepoint line of cellular routers

Thank you for your response. I am not eligible to upgrade my aircard. i have Verizon. What would you recommend, if I cannot get this to work?

Try to place the Aircard 5750 into your computer and do a PRL Update and within the VZAccess Manger go to Options>Activation, you mentioned you had your current setup for 2 years running. You might need to do a PRL update on your card, you could be working off an old PRL.

I use the same air-card in my WRT54G3G-ST router, it started to do the same thing. I use the air-card frequently in my laptop as well so it does get updated. I finally tried using some alcohol on the connection pins of the card itself in an attempt to remove any oxidation. It took two or three tries but it is now working much better now.
