Re: HTTP traffic drops intermittently.
If the router is asking for the wireless passkey this indicates a more servere problem than DNS servers. Remember that basic wireless connectivity is at Layer 1/2 of the OSI model, DNS and every other part of TCP/IP doesn't come in untill layer 3, and in order for higher level protocols to work, you have to have the one on the layer immediatly below working properly.

If MSN is unaffected then that would also discredit DNS as being the problem.

It's only a guess, but i'd say that the router is struggling with the amount of data that being put through it, maybe not a model problem, but could indicate yours is getting ready to meet it's maker.
