DG834PN mimo wireless adsl modem router - follow up

I have been having problems with the router. I lose all access to the internet on occasions, even when there isn’t heavy traffic or p2p, internal connectivity remains fine. Looking at the router status page shows a connection as normal. To (temporarily) fix the connection, I have to click disconnect and then reconnect. Not sure on the cause, could be bad router firmware, or possibly, but unlikely a line issue, since I never had problems like this with my cisco. Admittedly it was connected to a different phone socket, but the S/N ratios are very high: 

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 2272 kbps 288 kbps
Line Attenuation 24.0 db 11.5 db
Noise Margin 30.1 db 26.0 db

I’m going to keep a close eye on things, and see if I can make a further diagnosis. Maybe Netgear will bring out a firmware update that will solve all? Things can be so unreliable - the synaptics touchpad on my laptop has just died - time for a reboot….
