How fast is your Internet service? If you are paying for anything over 100 Mbps you are wasting money with that router.
According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN ports support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware.
It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support at least 1000BASE-TX.
I have no idea if this is likely to cause the problems you see, but you may be putting a lot of strain on what is pretty well Netgear's cheapest and most basic router.

Thanks for your reply. The problem happens even when there is no load on the router.
