When powering off the router and back on is the only way to bring the network
back up again, this points to dirty power. I don't change cables, or reboot
the computer, or dust off the router to bring up the network, I power cycle
the router. It is the only way to fix the "lockup".

The router has been replaced once, hoping that it was defective. Symptom
remained unchanged.

I'm open to other suggestions, but my diagnostics points to a power problem.

Thanks,
