Maybe it helps to better distinguish between modem and router (even
though they are often in the same case).
I used to have an ADSL connection that came with a D-Link modem/router.
But I didn't use the router portion of the D-Link; I configured the
D-Link in bridge mode (so only the modem portion is active) and hooked
it up to my Draytek router.
The disadvantage of this setup is that in order to get to the D-Link's
configuration pages, I have to connect it to the LAN side of the
Draytek. (In normal use, it's of course connected to the WAN side of
it.) The advantage is that I got to use my normal router.
This may help if it's the router portion that freezes.
