I had this happen with my Dlink and America's Army...it would send out a broadcast looking for a LAN game and something about it made the Dlink croak...literally. Is it a specific game or any game? If one game seems to do it more than another, you might try to have them play that game while a traffic dump is running on that system...see if you can spot any strange traffic (especially around when the router actually drops)...If its something about a particular packet or a broadcast, you might could take action on the localsystem to stop that from happening...On another note, the POS that I have seems to not really care for alot of traffic and tends to respond by dumping in those situations as well (granted I was doing some rather un-nice port scans at the time, but heyunless this person is gaming and it drops atleast once often more)...
You also might consider signal interferance...are there any wireless components on the systems that are playing the game (mice/keyboards/headsets/etc)...might be something to look into, might not.
Anyway, just my thoughts...
Good luck running it down, I've found it usually tends to be a pain...
