    Type 192.168.1.254 into your browser while you're connected.

    The password should be "broadband1"

    On the left hand side of the router configuration page, click "Network" then "Wireless LAN"

    What are the settings, in seconds for;
    "ReAuthentication Timer"
    "Idle Timeout"
    "Group Key Update Timer"?

    When something like this begins to happen you have to determine whether you are actually losing your internet connection or your wireless connection.

    In your case it sounds like a wireless problem (as it seems you are still connected to the internet as the ethernet connection works).

    It is possible that there is another wireless network around you which might be interfering with yours.

    Download netstumbler and it will show you any networks which might be around you and what channel they are on.
