Router D-link 614+ sometimes disconnect and reconnect itself

I have this router well configured but sometimes the icon in windows
system tray says connectivity limited or absent and after some
seconds
again connected, 100 Mbps. This behaviour happens quite frequently
and
resets any connection, for example Windows Messanger (I have to
manually reconnect). Why?
This router is connected in uplink to Fastweb HUG device (the device
cominig from the fiber cable network).

You may have an interference problem caused by other devices that use the
2.4GHz band which includes microwave ovens, cordless phones or even your
neighbor's network. Try changing the channel on your router and see if that
helps.

Inexpensive routers often have these problems. Its just a fact of life
when using home networking toys. If you want to get reliability, it may
be better to get a 3Com OfficeConnect Cable/DSL router or a Cisco 831.
Use a separate access point to support wireless connections.

Don't be overly concerned necessarily about price since the 3Com is
available for about the same as the D-Link, the Cisco about $100 - $120
on eBay. Wireless access points vary in price, but you could snag a
used Cisco 1121g for $100 or so on eBay. For home or small business
use, you just can't do better than a small 3Com or Cisco SOHO router and
a Cisco wireless access point.

This kind of set-up will be a little more expensive that a single D-Link
home networking toy, but it will overcome the disconnect problems you
describe and provide a level of reliability you're currently missing.

(FYI, I have used the above 3Com router. Currently using a Cisco 831
router, a Cisco 1121g AP and a Gateway 7001a/b/g AP for extensive
high-demand wired and wireless home power-user network for 11+ PCs. No
disconnects, no network hiccups, no power cycling/restarts. 100%
reliability and uptime.)

And then again, you may be the subject of DOS (denial of service)
attack, in which your router is overwhelmed and has to disconnect.
Then, again, you may want to check you configuration setting for each PC
on your network to ensure that QoS (Quality of Service) protocol is
instaalled. This feature ensures that traffic flow is proportioned out
to pplications so that no one application running on a PC pigs out on
all of the available bandwidth thus making your PC suffer. A call may
be helpful to your ISP to see what results they get when pinging your
router. Then again, if you are using an older router, particularly, but
not limited to Dlink routers, the router could be causing the
disconnects. Check you router model and look for a firmware update on
the WWW - or just come up with the $$ (or pounds) any buy a router that
quits giving you the finger.

Probably you are right. I have to inform you that the problem happens
also with Wi-fi disabled, only using cable connection and happens only
when I have the eMule application running....

Get a 3Com. It'll end your disconnect troubles.
