Internet keeps cutting out

Literally be poking a paper clip in to reset the router every five minutes. My computer says "the DNS is not responding" or sometimes that there is an "IP conflict". Anybody know what's up?

ask your ISP

Are you using multiple routers on the same network? (including modem/router combos from ISPs)
That can cause IP conflicts, when different routers assign the same IP addresses to different things with DHCP
