That's a very significant bit of information.
Things do glitch, routers are no exception. A reboot is sometimes
necessary. Also, they can get software updates over the net which can
make them sluggish until its all over and done with (either self-
updating, or pushed updates on ISP-supplied routers).
It's important to note that a router has a finite number of connections
it can manage, and processing power available for its tiny operating
system. If you have some software that's gone mad making hundreds of
connections, and not dropping them, the router can stop working.
I use NoScript, which provides a list of mostly 3rd party sites used by
a site I visit. These lists have been growing over time, it is not unusual
to have dozens of external sites requested by a site I visit.
