You don't indicate the manufacturer or model number of the router, but I'd
also suggest that the occasional "lock up" that requires power cycling could
be the result of a software bug in the product itself that might be
overflowing the device's memory. Just a thought, but you might want to do a
quick check on the specific make/model to see if there are known problems
and if there is a newer operating system load or patch that addresses this
symptom. Or, alternatively, replace with another (different) router and see
if the problem goes away. (You indicated it was replaced once already, but
possibly with the same make/model with the same inherent defect?)

Good luck.
