This isn't the first nat router to die like this. Apple's Airport
Basestation also has a similar issue. It happens to be that the nat
router can't keep up with the number of connections being made and
freezes.
One thing you might try is to turn off nat mode on your DSL modem and use
an external nat router.
I know of two nat routers that work well under the load of freenet:
Network Everywhere Cable/DSL router (It's in a nice metal box like a small
Cisco pix)
CompUSA branded FMI router (looks really ugly, but is nice as far as the
features it has. Can be found at CompUSA; it's the cheapest one there.)
I'm sure there are others that work well also.
