Problem with my router!

That sounds exactly like the problems I was having prior to installing UPS's on my kit.

Would a plain old surge protecter not do any good?

Is this UPS ok?

Actually, right now the router is just plugged up to a regular wall outlet, because its on the side of the room with nothing plugged in, so its not connected to anything else before the outlet.

a surge protector is nothing but a 15 amp circuit breaker on a 6-way splitter. it does not protect your equipment, all it does is pop off if you run your microwave and your toaster oven at the same time.

There are some surge protectors that cost upwards of $50, but I've never bought one to see what they do.

Is this UPS ok?

never used that brand, but the cheap 5 minute APC ones are just about the same price. If it were my money I'd go with APC, but I am an opinionated old guy...

Anything is vastly better then just plugging up to the wall.

also, keep in mind a good UPS is HEAVY. shipping might be expensive.

FedEx Saver shipping is only $8.

Don't mess with any MTU settings. XP handles them fine. The only time I had to mess with MTU size was with early VPN clients.

Halogen and flouresent bulb also give off RF interference. You could also try changing the wireless channel from 11 to something else. You'd need to run the software on a wireless card to see what other channels are in use around your house. They may cause the disconnection at a specific time when the user gets home.

Verify that you have WGT624v2 by looking at the bottom of the router. You are already at 4.1.11 so try 4.1.8 and if that doesn't work then try 4.1.4.
