Hope this is the right place to post this, if not please move to correct section.
Over the past few months my router has needed many re-boots as wireless clients in the house seem to lose connection simultaneously at random times and a reboot of the router resolves this issue. Tried rebooting the wireless clients but this does nothing to restore connection but the wired clients always remain connected .
I've been puzzling over this and come up with 3 options, unless anyone can think of anything different:
1) Router has become 'glitchy' - not that ikely
2) Router firmware needs undating - currently version - Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.226 Last updated Unknown
3) I have hundreds of 'connection closed' messages in my router log from failed attempts to log into port 80 mainly from 2 IP addresses literally every couple of seconds - could this be causing the router wifi to 'fall over'
Any other suggestions on what I can do please?

Hi there, we can certainly try a firmware upgrade for you. In the meantime it might be a good idea to try factory resetting the router: https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/router-user-guides/
