What's disconnecting? Your router's connection to the Internet? Or your wireless connection to the router?

If it's your Internet connection I'd check things like:

1. DSL filters. Try swapping them out with another known-good one.
2. Ensure router is not connected to an extension socket.
3. Check for problems with phone whilst Internet is not working. This may indicate a problem with the line.

If it's your wireless connection to the router:

1. Is signal strength good when it is working?
2. Try changing the wireless channel in case another wireless network is on the same frequency and causing interference.
3. Consider whether other devices in the home could be interfering. You'd be surprised at what can - cordless phones are a relatively common cause. I've even read reports of vacuum cleaners, washing machines, etc. causing issues.
