This is comforting to know!

This could well be the case considering the age of computer, motherboard 
and router.

Lots of search results, need to do some serious reading...

Maybe you could elaborate on this please, because some time ago I indeed 
experienced some problems related to the 'memory' sticks installed to 
the motherboard.

My desktop is about 9 years old and the RAM was upgraded from 2GiB to 
4GiB a couple of years ago or so.
Motherboard details:
American Megatrends Inc.
ASUSTeK Computer INC.
P5GC-MX/1333
Version: 0310
ASUS UPDATE: V7.10.05
Release date: 24 December 2007

Long story short, a recent memtest failed miserably and unbeknownst to 
me this particular motherboard apparently does not like to be upgraded 
in terms of RAM because when I inserting the old (original) RAM sticks 
the memtest passed with flying colours. The old BIOS most probably is 
for whatever reason rejecting the modules with higher RAM.

Maybe 'old age' of equipment, insufficient RAM is the cause for all this 
and it's time to purchase both a new machine and router.
