Step 1) Update the firmware!
Lots of times rebooting/connection dropping is caused by buggy firmware. I was using a trendnet wireless router for a while, when I turned on WPA I couldn't carry over 10-15k/sec until I updated the firmware, it was also dropping every minute or two.

Been rock solid ever since, best $10 I ever spent :)

I have a similar thread on this. My cut out, but today it is fine. No idea what the deal is.
