Going to BBC site causes my wireless to drop!!!

It's bizarre, but it seems to be true! I've been suffering wireless drops for a while now.... totally random, couldn't out my finger tonight. The BBC site (www.bbc.co.uk) is in my favs and tonight I clicked on it, and my connn dropped. I have to go unplug power from router and then plug it back in (it's a netgear wgt624). Once I'd done that, I went back to BBC site and then damn it drops. Tried again, and it drops. I have links from my Google home page into the BBC site (new front page) which load fine.

Can anyone explain how this can cause my wireless to drop, and if there's anything I can do?

Thanks

My wgt624 used to do that. It also used to reboot itself spontaneously quite often.
After no difference making sure it was cool, firware upgrades etc. I just gave up and bought a new router (a Draytek - never going near netgear again).
