I have a wireless linksys router and every now-and-then it loses the
connection and I have to restart the router. Is there any solution to
this problem? I have read that it could be related to my IP Lease Time
but could ther be any other causes?

By chance, is it the Linksys WRT54G V5? My sister just picked up one
of those and it does the same thing. In her case, it's not related to
DHCP lease times so I'm looking for another cause.

I am not sure of the exact name (i've had it for a year or so) but it
very well could be a Linksys bug or something like that...I dont think
its a dhcp release time thing b/c it does it on a unpredictable
pattern...it may be fine for 3 days then act up or it may be fine for
an hour and act up....keep me posted if you find out anything...

It could be you've got a crappy router. Without further info, it's
impossible to tell. As for lease time, your ISP will give you a value.
It's your router's responsibility to renew the lease before it expires.
It might also be a problem with your arp cache etc. You can use a monitor,
such as ethereal, to watch what happens.
