Why does my router tend to drop the connection?

Why does my router tend to drop the connection? I have a D-Link DI-624 router. However, as of the last year, it has started acting strangely. The hardwired ethernet connections are fine, but anything running on the wireless tends to lose the connection after anywhere from 10-40 minutes. What makes this so strange is that airport still shows it to be connected. The only way to fix the problem is to turn the wireless card in the computer off, then turn it back on.

"Hi,

i had a DL-624+ some years ago. My problem was, that the router hung up (LAN and WLAN) every 10 to 14 days. The only way to get it back to work was unplug and replug the power. I've tried everything, other wlan settings, using an unused channel, updates for the router and drivers, WEP, WPA, longer shorter and no wlan-password aso....Nothing fixed the problem. One day a tree around the corner was struck by lightning, it was close enough to fry the router. Now i have a router from AVM, set up once and working since."
