Perhaps the internal switch/hub is flaking out, but the embedded *nix chip is ok. Overheating of the router? Noisy line voltage? Or it could be a blown capacitor or other HW issues. It might be easiest to try another router, or replace it with a hub/switch and see if the local net is ok. Or, put the local net on a switch that feeds into the router, so that local traffic never touches the router.
