I had a similar issue with a Rangemax router. I upgraded the firmware and it's working fine again (going on 2 months without a disconnect).

I turned the transmit power back down to default this morning, gonna see if that makes less heat, and better connections...  if not, time for a new one I think.

I bought a D-Link at the Fry's on Thunderbird about a year ago to replace my failing Linksys (I had to powercycle it daily near the end there). The new one has been flawless. I got the wireless-N one because I have a few devices that use it. So far, so good!

AtomSmasher:
I used to go through routers every year or so for the longest time.  I tried netgear, belkin, linksys, along with one or two other brands, but they all died fairly quick.  I eventually got a BUFFALO WHR-HP-G54 router, and it's been going strong for 5+ years.  I picked up another one about 2 years ago and use it as a bridge to extend the wireless downstairs.  It's kind of funny because the router has actually gotten more expensive over the years, I bought my first one for $35 and now it's around $60.

I used to use these in bridged mode for the lounge media devices.  I changed to powerline as I got solid (slightly more secure) connections.  The G54s rock and never overheat. Another brand I suggest is Trendnet.  I got them real cheap at Frys and they are still working after 6 years or so.  I also like these (when the prices go down) new toys.
