What model?
The cheaper TP-Link routers are not designed for heavy traffic and are more susceptible to crashes/freezes.

You can try support (they usually answer).

But you can solve your problem by buying a power outlet with a timer and power cycle the router every x hours.

Firmware is the culprit.  If it's not up to date, try updating to the latest version.
Try using different channels.

Where do I get that kind of power adapter to buy????
i see address lease time is 120 minutes so i not sure if i should lengthen that??? 2880 minutes is the maximum
i even see address reservation option so i not sure if i reserve an address if that means i will always have my pc connected and don't need to restart the router????
