Router Rebooting on its own

So this is the second night in a row that this has happened. We will just suddenly loose signal and then it comes back 30-60 seconds later. When I go look in the log, everything prior to the event has a date of 12/31?

Here's the log of the even right as it happened (I blocked out the beginnings of my IP address - that's what the XXX represent. Any insights??

Dec 31 19:00:13 notify_rc : start_ntpc
Dec 31 19:00:13 dhcp client: bound XXX.XXX.222.86 via XXX.XXX.222.81
May 21 20:25:02 notify_rc : restart_upnp
May 21 20:25:02 miniupnpd[592]: received signal 15, good-bye

Figured it out. Enabling Network (samba) Place support in your VPN settings floods the router with error messages. This is a known issue and one that was thought to be harmless but its not.

When streaming media over your network it appears to overwhelm the router and it will reboot eventually.

I also noticed when enabling this that the very first log entry indicated it couldn't find a config file and it was decreasing the maximum allowed units down to 10 from 100. I have 23 devices on my network which could also make this a unique issue for me.

I repeated this issue 5 times. And also proved (5 times) that the router would remain stable while streaming as long as this option (Network Place Support) was disabled.
