Have you tried the basic troubleshooting which are mentioned in this forum??
If you are using the short extension cord which came with the MJ, don't. Use a REAR usb port on your PC. You may also need a POWERED usb hub.
Try your MJ on another PC, best if it is not using your router and ISP ( for testing purposes). Update your router to the latest firmware provided by its mfg. OR do a search in the forum for Tomato...

Just a few things you need to try..

That was the basic troubleshooting info...try it without the cord...use a rear hub....etc.

Here is a reference that will give you that plus other ideas. It's not real up-to-date, but it's pretty decent and will give you the basics:
