Wireless can be problematic. Are you moving around when things fail? Wireless signal may have a problem going through masonery walls, metal (e.g. ductwork in the wall you cannot see), etc.
Interference from other radio frequency devices (cordless phones, electric motor, fluorscent lights, etc) can be a problem.
You say the wireless router is working OK and I am assuming the configuration did not change so all should be OK.
Another thing to consider is upgrading the router's firmware. If you do this be sure to use a wired connection to the pc and router. Go to the router maker's web site and see if you can upgrade the router firmware.

It could be affected by interference from appliances in your home such as baby monitors, a microwave, even lighting. I'd see if there's any link between the time the connection drops and when something is switched on or off in the room or nearby.

i think they need to settle in a bit, when i got a wireless router my internet were up and down and not connecting, i phone my provider and they told me it will be new till it finds its own best way of getting the data to your computer, and mine did settle down after about 2weeks and is great now use my laptop all over the house and garden,

Could the problem be the location of the phone socket you are connected to. I've been told that if you are on an extension that there may be a problem (signal loss in the cable, particularly if aluminium cable not copper)..

Scan disk and defragment are systems tools that may help. It may help to delete the contence of your temporary internet file, there is no reason for delete cookies to help but it might. It maight help to minimise the distance between the transmitter and the receiver.
