router problems?

[custard]

right ive got a zyxel router
Amazon.com: ZyXEL NBG-318S 200 Mbps Powerline HomePlug AV 802.11g Wireless Router: Electronics

has worked fine for months
however ive recently got an HD TV so was looking to stream 720/1080 media
so today i thought i would try out the set up and different media types.
previously i had tried but got juddery playback

so give it a try with one movie and it plays fine for about 10 minutes then cuts out
look down and the router has powered down
felt a bit hot so i unplugged it for a bit and then powered it up again

all good,so tried with another film and it went fine
however after 30 minutes or so the router did the same.

this is to the PS3 over wifi,havent yet tried the 360 over a wired connection

so whats the deal? surely this streaming isnt too much for the router?

It could be, BT claim a power saving mode for their home hub, it's turning off wireless !!!

It may be worth trying a cabled connection.

I reckon you will struggle with 720/1080 over wireless, especially on 802.11g

i wondered that but the files streamed fine
no fast forward but worked fine
up until the router shut down

Probably overheated

but would the streaming cause that?

It says it's capable of doing it, so I shouldn't see the problamo?

Duff (beer) router possibly?
