Pyoor's excuse for not working

Does anyone have any tips for making the BT Homehub less shit? I've had to reset it 4 times today - it crashes and then sits there displaying a few of it's little dinky lights (broadband, wireless and data) but fails to reconnect correctly. It has crashed though, because the wired machine can't connect to it's administration interface, and neither can the wireless machines - although they still show themselves as connected.

Rebooting it transiently fixes the problem, but since it continues to live upstairs (I'm thinking that once I've found a wireless dongle for my Hackintosh then I'll move it downstairs) I am forced, each time this happens to trail upstairs and unplug it, plug it back in and then wait. Whereupon this morning it would connect work for a good 2 minutes, and then fall over again.

I think I've got a bit over half an hour this time which is positively astonishing.

I did wonder if it had endured some kind of software update, but it still claims to be running the same revision it was a few days ago, before it got this bad... So, uh, suggestions for fixing it (before I'm forced to ring BT's "help desk"), well, they'd be useful...
