If you're on Telus, mine was rebooting itself every 2 mins for about an hour this morning.

Perhaps your neighbours are "borrowing" your internet.

We had that problem on going for a month before I got fed up and threw it in the garbage. The new one hasnt given us any problems since.

Thanks for the feed back guys. I am with Telus. Maybe I should go buy a new one and see if it keeps happening.

This is the sign of a dying router.

I'd try upgrading the firmware to the most current version, if you already haven't.

This has been happening on and off with me on my BT Internet router in the UK and has been driving me nuts. However for the past few days it has been fine. I reckon it is something to do with my phoneline as I'm on my second router now.

with all electronics, the first thing I'd check out is if it is overheating. since I nailed my router on the wall, it seems happy and no longer needs to be re-booted.

its funny that i hadn't considered anything odd until i saw this thread.
i have a cisco router and i am on shaw, and recently i have had the wireless connection hold, but the internet drops. in other words...my internal network devices can be seen but they cannot get out.
i have taken to disconnecting and then reconnection...and that seems to work. the funny thing is that i haven't had to do that for a day or so...after doing it for a couple of days in a row.
odd behaviour for sure.
some really good advice in this thread; i'll be keeping an eye on it.
maybe the sun is mad because of superman: allstar.

Ironically, this can actually be an issue. The router needs to maintain a table in memory that links external connections to the internal hosts that have initiated or accepted them (the NAT translation table). If you exceed the capacity of the router to track all the entries required in this table, you can see all kinds of weird issues, such as dropped connections, inability to make additional new connections, router crashes, etc.
Torrents and game server browsers are two examples of applications that generate a huge number of NAT translation table entries. Multiple hosts inside the home network all using torrent or game browser software could overload the NAT translation table and cause the issues described. Malware could also exhibit this behavior as it tries to "reach out and touch someone"
I don't know which modern routers might be affected by this - its not really a stat that home router manufacturers advertise.
I think in this case, its cheap components in the router overheating or having failed, but if the issue only exists when multiple machines are active, it might be worth investigating.

Added any new devices to your house lately? I found in the past that Apple products were chatty as hell. When I got an iPhone and my wife an iPad, both on wifi, we had to reboot the router ever day or two.
Another big problem is people *attempting* to connect. If you are in a seriously built up area, make your SID private and see if that makes the problem go away. If you havent secured the router, first go smash your head off a wall, then go back and secure your router.

k guys, this is an easy fix for most of you.
Log into the router (192.168.1.1 for most linksys routers), and the 'Channel' is defaulted to AUTO. Just change this to a numbered channel. (Just change it to channel 5, or 7, or 9).
The issue is usually do to conflicting routers, and when networks conflict, it often results in the router getting confused and not broadcasting an internet connection. What I have told you as a solution above solves the problem 90% of the time.
Love,
your local TSR.

1,6,11 are the non-overlapping channels on 802.11b/g routers, and would be better choices for trying a statically assigned channel (1 and 11 in particular, as lots of routers default to 6 in my experience)
