Hi Rob,
Check the power supply. Like Mark, I've had the original PS that was supplied with my D-Link wireless router fail. It went low output on load, 3.8V instead of 5V and the operation of the router became erratic, slow, dropped connections, that sort of thing. I replaced it with one from CPC which lasted a couple of years until I noticed hash on a VHF radio operating in the same room. I guess a cap had failed, there was a slight burning smell from the PS when held up to the nose but otherwise no symptoms and the router worked as it should. Another replacement from CPC (a different type) and the router is still going strong. It must be 6 or so years old now.
