I'd venture it's something with your router. Other than that maybe a virus? (if you're on a PC)

I am also think it is the router issue... but the things is it only the macrumors fourms have a problem...

Do I need to restart the router ?

BTW, how can I check my mac have a virus or not ?

Just go ahead and un-plug your router as well as your Internet modem. Keep them un-plugged for 30 seconds powering on modem first allowing it to make connection then your router.

Also restart your computer(s) and it should take care of the problem.

There has never been a virus in the wild that affects Mac OS X since it was released 10 years ago. The handful of trojans that exist can be easily avoided with some education and common sense and care in what software you install:
