If you log into the router on 192.168.2.1 you should see all of the settings. I have had problems in the past with interference messing things up, changing the wireless channel to "1" from the default "11" fixed that.

I would also try disabling the wireless card in your computer and connect it to one of the LAN sockets on the router with an ethernet cable. That way you eliminate any reliability issues of wireless but still keep the router in place which should help you find out if it is at fault.
Tried what you recommended re: rebooting, changing channels etc - still rebooting itself (whether or not the modem is causing this??)

Regardless, I actually got a call back from NTL today - albeit almost a week later!!! We have arranged that an engineer will call between 5pm and 8pm on Friday evening! They actually offered an appointment for between now (1330) and 1800 today!! Unfortunately, I was in work and things have been really busy, so I couldnt take the time off at such short notice!!

Anyhow, roll on Friday - anyhow, maybe the Engineer will be nice (and knows something about Wireless networks too!!?? What are the chances though (so late on a Friday)??!!
