DI 524 rev C will not keep connection...

I know others have had this problem but when I look it up I can never find an explicit answer, so I signed up to this site and wanted to know if you guys can help me.

Anyway, I got a D-Link DI 524 rev C for Christmas and it has given me the same problem for as long as I've had it; It will not keep a constant connection, the duration can be anywhere from one to two hours, and I have absolutely no idea why it is doing this--the power is not being turned off by the system, I have it to constantly connect me, but after about an hour or two, it will randomly drop everything connected to it, and I have to hard reset the router with a paper clip every time so I can't keep any settings up; they get reseted. Can anyone please please help me? I can post more information if you want. Thanks guys
