Just to update this problem. It is a very strange one to be sure. I have now discovered when the fault occurs.
Now that the router is registered with Ntl, if I go through the full router setup procedure it works fine, I can reboot my PC using Start/Turn off computer/Restart without any problem. The freezing on boot up only occurs after the PC has been shut down completely. Have updated the router firmware and am going to check for latest network card drivers. For the moment I can get it to work fine if I remove the router to PC ethernet cable, boot the PC then plug the cable back into the router.

Did notice that the System Event Viewer is showing lots of DCOM errors.
