I don't have any real statistics about this, but I'll try. What I can tell at the moment, is that when it disconnect it doesn't matter how long I wait before unpluggin and (immediately) replugging: it crashes again in less than 1 minute under heavy load, or anything from a few minutes to several hours otherwise. > Conversely, if you stick it in the freezer does it last longer before > crashing? I don't dare placing any hardware in such a wet environment, but refrigeration by contact with an ice pack doesn't produce any difference. > Also, is this USB or a card?

This is an interesting idea, but if this was the reason I couldn't imagine why the issue only arised after ~2 years of use without any significant change in my network activity habits. E.g. I use to download huge and higly available files throught bittorent very often, so 2 MiB/s or more is not an unusual throughput.
