This may be beyond you, but I had similar problems with a linksys dsl
router, and it was fixed by getting the latest firmware file for it from
their site, and uploading it twice. There may have been some stale data
or a poor burn the first time as it would only run for a few minutes
after the first re-write, but the second one has been bulletproof for
nearly 2 years. The original needed a powerdown reset about weekly.
