For some reason my router keeps on rebooting and will not stay connected to the internet.  I have had the router for 2 months now and this is a new problem within the last week. I have tried resetting the router and it is currently using WPA encryption and I have set an admin password and guest password.  I also have a dlink media extender connected which keeps loosing the signal when it reboots.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am running 3.06 which was how it came.  My connection time to the internet used to go for days at a time but now I'm lucky if I can get 10 hours.  Some times it is as little is 15 minutes.  Each time the router reboots I loose my internet connection as well as the connection to my D-link DSM 750 Media Extender.  Again this appear to be a more recent problem but I don't know what has changed.

I went into the router log and noted these entries which appear concerning to me (not that I know anything).  I was not on the computer when this happened.

Can anyone help?  Does this make any scene to someone? Am I looking in the wrong direction?

In the Setup/Manual Internet connection setup/ screen, there's an option for Reconnect Mode,
with the options "Always on", "On demand", and "Manual". 
You probably have it set for On demand, with some timeout period.  This is apparently the default setting.
Set it to "Always on" and it should stop the endless rebooting.

The log report message "WAN connection inactive too long so attempting to disconnect" is because it thinks there's no demand, so after the short timeout period set with nothing going on, it kicks in and it shuts down until it's needed again.  Mine was cycling around every 10 minutes until I changed the Reconnect Mode setting; it's stayed up ever since, as expected.
