Check your router WAN port configuration.

Is it a 100Mb connection to modem?
If its a 10Mb half duplex connection, like many older routers are, this is the cause of your problems.
I was getting modem reboots ALL THE TIME until I replaced the router. Not had a single reboot since.

I spent an hour on the phone to TS about this problem, and aparently if the routers WAN port cant cope with the 10Mb signal it loses the downstream signal and causes a reboot.

Try a direct connection Modem -> PC and see if this sorts the problem, if it does get a new router...
