I had just upgraded my DSL to a faster speed so went back to the old one and it still happened. My wireless D Link router was fairly new but the non-wireless router had also been disconnecting. Finally decided to phone D Link to see if they had any ideas.
Well to make a long story short it seems that the newer versions of E-Mule (some of you surely use it) have a new service called KAD. Well KAD it seems interferes with the router and the connection goes bye, bye.
Just thought I'd mention it. Any ideas why this might be?

Hi annejay,
Kad indeed is very harsh on some router because of the UDP request
some router can't handle so many request and will lock/crash/disconnect
I have a linksys wrt54g router and never had a problem with emule (my fav p2p btw)
You should download one of the many great emule mod out there like LSD and simply don't use kad and you will be fine.
a few router company are releasing firmware upgrade to address the udp problem with some p2p fikeshring programs,
you might want to have a look at that to see if help.
or if you don't want to take advantage of the kad network you can set your firewall and router to block the udp on the kad port.
hope it make sense because i just woken up and i'm still half asleep
