Help Incredible and WNR834Bv2

Has anyone experienced unusual rapid battery drain when connected to a wireless access point?

I have a Netgear WNR834Bv2 router and two Incredibles in the house and noticed that from time to time both handsets will drain much faster than normal (approximately 4 times faster) until the router is rebooted. After that, both phones behave normally for days or weeks before another router reboot is needed.

Little more than a nuisance, but it would be nice to know what's going on and if there is a fix.
