Get into the router's "home page", the instruction booklet will tell you how, and make sure it is configured to maintain the connection and if possible put your login information on the router and clone your MAC address. These will all help you keep the connection.

PS: for linksys the home page is usually http://192.168.1.1

and the login is admin

Just click that link.

If it's affecting all 3 computers, it sounds like the modem or router. In my case, I'd make sure I have the coax from the wall well connected at the wall and on the modem. I tend to get lazy with those connectors. While you're at it, you might as well reseat (disconnect and reconnect) all of the cables between the wall and the router.

Also check the power connections for the modem and router. Make sure that everything's plugged in snugly.

Springer's point is important, and also there may be connections outside your house that can be faulty and "glitch" your connection. Including the one to the cables on the poles.
