Comcast cable internet,comcast modem and netgear router. Anytime Im on one of my forums and look at a thread with a ton of pics it boots me off of the internet and it has to reflash. Internet speed seems normal. What would cause this?

I'd check manufacturer website to see if a newer firmware is available and install it if so.
If not, google search "make/model of router resets" to see if anyone else is experiencing this on the tech forums.

Could be line noise in your cable connection.
Next thing I would do is eliminate the router and plug computer directly into the modem for a few hours and try it that way.
If still happens, call cable company for service.
If everything works, then upgrade firmware or replace crappy router.
