My parent's router often has spats where it will regularly lose Internet access.
It's a Netgear DG834G running firmware V4.01.06
Poking around the admin pages doesn't provide anything particularly useful/meaningful to me, but there are various logs and statistics.
Line attenuation is currently listed at 33 db which I think is a reasonable figure?
Noise margin is 6 db ... or 9 db now (I guess these values fluctuate).
Here's some logs from when the problem started today:

(unsnipped version attached, but it's all very repetitive)
I've tried searching for those terms but haven't found anything conclusive.
Any network experts here able to offer any advice?
