Router continually reboots... Why?

Hi
I have a Draytek Vigor 2800 Router, which is perfect for our needs in
a small office. The problem is, the router re-boots itself every 20
mins or so without warning. I would have thought this was a hardware
problem, but this is the 3rd Draytek router we've tried from 2
different retailers, so I'm starting to wonder if it's:

1, Not being set up properly my myself

2, Not compatible with our ADSL line (It's a BT line, but it's through
a different provider).

I wouldn't have thought the line would make the router reboot?


Any help greatly appreciated.

It won't.

Dodgy wall socket? Have you tried plugging it into a different mains
socket?

Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure the socket's not responsible as
it ran a buffalo router (non wireless) before & it worked fine.
I have the router connected to a Belkin 16 port network switch. I
wonder whether there would be a conflict with this? I'm clutching at
straws here!...

Wouldn't have the switch would cause that, might be worth trying a
different power socket.

Does it reboot with the switch disconnected? If it doesn't, disconnect
all the PCs from the switch, check for the reboot again, connect a PC,
check again, rinse and repeat until you find the problem.

Are you sure it's rebooting and not just timing out? In internet access
setup, set it to always on, using the checkbox (or set the idle timeout
to -1).
