Netgear wireless router goes offline when...

I have a Netgear WGT624 wireless router with 3 computers all using
wireless. I have had it for 3 years and in that time, I have had DSL
and now cable as my internet type.

The problem I am having is that when I access some web pages that are
busy with gif's or jpg's, my router suddenly stops responding. I
cannot log into the router from a wireless computer and although my
computers (2 PC's and 1 Mac) say that they are connected, no traffic
seems to be getting out to the internet or coming in. I then have to
reset the router (never the modem) and it works.

When I say that I access pages that are "busy" I am talking about a
page that has a bunch of JPG's on it or even a bunch of animated
gif's. I haven't ever had this problem with pages with just text or
even pages that have some pictures (versus a bunch).

I have looked for updates to the firmware, and none are available.
Anyone have any possible suggestions as to what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Javier
