I've had a similar problem for years. It doesn't disconnect, it just shuts up; browsing web pages doesn't work for a minute or so; streaming content stops, but recovers ok if I reconnect to it. It's most annoying when a VPN connection to my employer stops in the middle of me trying to fix something. I have a no-name generic router, not Linksys.

I've always put it down to the quality of VMs broadband offering, and simply put up with it.
