I've got two of these routers, one on cable, the other on DSL at my parents house. Haven't seen this problem consistently, only infrequently. Usually after an outage from the provider. Double check to see if you have the latest firmware version, and, to minimize startup times for your computer, use set ip addresses instead of DHCP. That way you don't have to wait for the router to give you an IP address during boot-up. One other thing to try before unplugging the router is to go to it's setup screen and tell it to reboot if you can.
