My router - D-Link DSL-G604T

I am not quite sure what you mean by a 'small' router

But what mainly puzzles me is that everything worked fine for the first
three months. Then I found that I could not simply start the computer
while the router was running and use the internet. I had to turn off
the router first, then start the computer, then restart the router, as
I still have to do now. Why should everything be OK for 3 months before
any problems appeared?
