Internet Connection Dropping

I am a FiOS internet subscriber, and for well over a year I have been having problems with my Verizon router (MI424WR), where every month or so it would stop accepting new wireless clients and my wireless devices reported reduced signal strength from the router.  The only way to fix the issue was to cycle power on the router (pull the power plug, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in).

A few months ago I started to experience a new problem, similar to that described in this thread, (I would have replied to that thread but it is locked now).  My internet connection now drops more or less once an hour but sometimes more often than that.  Unlike the previous problem, this issue affects both wired as well as wireless clients.  The conncetion resets after about 30 seconds, but any games, uploads or movies in progress are interrupted.

Can anyone tell me what might be going on?

It sounds like the router is going bad. You may need to get it replaced.
