Is it using the latest firmware? I've had problems with other routers like that and the latest firmwares (even BETA versions) usually fix it.

There's a thread about that model (amongst others) on the BB forum.

I had an identical problem last week, which I put down to the speed change, and increased noise on my line. I updated the firmware to a beta version and the router has been up solid for 4 days now (touches wood).
Nothing worse than the f**king router rebooting when you're on the laptop :mad:
