It seems home routers of several brands are subject to overheating and dropping connections. I experienced this with a Netgear WGT624 router. Netgear RMA'd it but the new one was no better. It would run fine for a while then drop either/both the wireless or ethernet and have to be reset. I fixed the 2nd unit by attaching (arctic silver thermal adhesive) copper BGA ramsinks to the processors, installing a 60mm fan blowing into the case, and adding some ventilation holes in the case. It now works without a hitch.
One thing I learned from this experience is that Newegg's customer reviews are worthless. I wrote a negative review of this router and it was rejected. In my searching to find out how to fix the problem, I found several others who had their negative reviews of the Netgear router rejected. Newegg pretty much publishes only positive reviews.
