Arp cache limit reached, DNS burp and puke, memory leak, flood traffic from elsewhere, poor hardcoding inside the router......lots of reasons, some easy to determine and others not so much.
If you're comfy w/ tech stuff, google the model number and see if there's a firmware update available to your unit.
when it goes down, see if you can ping a numerical address instead of a name (open command prompt, ping 209.137.171.10 for example) If you can ping fine to a numeric then it's a DNS issue.

I just recently experienced this problem. Are you using a ethernet box with your wireless network? If so, your ethernet box is pretty much dead. I had to replace my ethernet box about 3 weeks ago. The box basically gets tired of messing with the wireless router, so, you must replace the ethernet box. The old box is still usable. I use the old box for system link with my Xbox 360. It works well. The new box has not had a problem, so that is what i suggest.

When you use your computer that have wireless connections, do you use your wireless router at home or somebody else and tell me why?

You're reading Why would a wireless router randomly stop allowing internet traffic?. i.e. The network is still connected but it says "cannot find server" or whatever. It takes a router reset to fix the problem
