My actiontec router has not displayed this behavior. I think it's a piece of junk, but it hasn't frozen on me.
SSH has a "keep-alive" setting (both the server and client config files) which sends minimal traffic through a session. On routers that haven't wanted to maintain a connection, I have had some luck always leaving an ssh shell connected and letting it remind the router not to die.
