    The good cheap ones are hard to find right now since Buffalo has an injucntion against them. Most any of there models are good the best ones were WHR-HP-G54 and WHR-54G ..... All of these models are capable of running dd-wrt linux firmware. Check on DD-wrt site and see what they are recommending now since the Buffalo went scarce.

    NO I do not run cheap routers. I'm use a wired Netgear Bussiness Class router $$$. But I never had to reboot it in 2+ years now.

    Like what actually happens to the router? Does it turn off or what? Maybe the settings has it off for a specific period of time.
