I run into NAT-related memory issues on pretty much every typical CPE at my house in recent years... Linksys, Netgear, Buffalo. I had to reboot those devices once a week.
Once I moved to Mikrotik, I don't have this issue anymore. The router stays up until I reboot it for a software update. Might not be your specific issue, but would suggest having a closer sniff when you have the time. Mark.
