Why router always disconnect and required rebooting

Routers can be easily exhausted by file sharing programs, simultaneously streaming couple of HD video or may be because of a virus. If you use a ADSL connection with ADSL router plus modem, it can easily overloaded, because one device is handling two tasks. This is pretty common when you connect more that ten devices to one router plus modem. Also, out dated router or wireless network card firmware can cause the same problem.
