Wi-Fi network unavailable until router restarted

Hi,

sometimes the Wi-Fi connection drops and suddenly, my home Wi-Fi network is
not in range. No matter what I do with the laptop, I don't see the network.
Neither does any other laptop in the house. Ethernet connection with the
desktop works fine though.

Problem is solved only by hard restarting the Wi-Fi router. I am looking for
some solution so that I don't need to restart the router everytime the
connection is lost.

My router is Ovislink WL-1040AR. My laptops are Dell Inspiron 9100 and Dell
Latitude D600. My ADSL modem is ZyXEL Prestige 600 Series.

Anyone solved this before me? Thanks for any answer!

P.S.: Sometimes, the connection doesn't drop, I just cannot ping the router
(it becomes unreachable, even though the Wi-Fi network is available). And
sometimes, the ADSL modem is unavailable, but the Wi-Fi router is
reachable -- restarting the ADSL modem helps.
