    After several calls to my wireless provider, they came out to evaluate my situation.  My antenna is talking to their antenna tower.  My provider confirmed this situation: every 20 minutes my antenna decides it should be talking with a different tower antenna and it looses connection and can't find it's way back.  So, the provider owns the problem and has never heard of this happening and doesn't know what to do.  For the time being, we are remotely resetting the router every 15 minutes which somehow corrects my antenna to look at the correct antenna.  Eventually, they will give me a new antenna, or find a fix for my existing antenna.

     

    Current situation sucks, every 15 mintues.
