Ok this is really weird. As I started unpacking the modem, I removed the three antennas and, wondering if the reception was any good without them, I ran some speed test. Then I had other things to do and left everything like this. It's been over an hour and a half and I didn't have any disconnection yet. Guys can you try if it does the same for you? Maybe I'm totally wrong and I missed the disconnection but I've been using the computer since and as I have the modem reset around a fixed round hour so I know when it will disconnect, it should have disconnected 10 minutes ago and definitely didn't... I'll keep an eye open, let me know if that does anything to you.
Ok so regarding my comment about removing the antennas, it doesn't "cut" as bad as it did before: it doesn't interrupt my browsing or downloading of files (maybe because the interruption is shorter), but I tried having an IRC window in the back and indeed I am disconnected from the server every hour precisely.
