Two points:

First, Your tennant's use of bittorrent will hog your bandwidth, and you can get around this by messing with QoS in the router's configuration pages (at http://192.168.1.1), under Applications & Gaming, I think. You can specify which IPs or MAC addresses get priority.

Secondly, Disconnects sounds like other 2.4GHz interference, so you might want to Google on how to minimise that .

In answer to your question, I shouldn't think high levels of internet activity will kill your router!


Unless, that is, it's overheating.
