Every so often, my router appears to go sleep, lol. Its not a serious
problem, its happened about 3 times in since i got it 4 months ago. Its
easliy solved by disconnecting the router from the ac adapter then
reconnecting it. Any ideas.

Thanks

Can you define "going to sleep"? Do you mean it loses its connection to
your cable/dsl modem? What brand cable/dsl modem and router? What ISP?

ask your router manufacturer. some routers seem to require regular
rebooting/power cycling. maybe there is a firmware update to help yours.

Try updating the firmware on the router. Get it from Linksys' website,
and make sure you get the correct firmware for your exact model. If a
firmware update doesn't solve the problem the router may be failing.
You may want to replace that older router with a newer 802.11G model.
