There's no way that your ISP could somehow interact with your router in such a way as to make it less stable aside from your connection going out.
I'd recommend a single buffalo router to replace both your apple routers. They work without reboots for years and the signal as least as strong as both your apple devices.

The AirPort base stations are not being used as routers, only as wireless access points. But thanks for the suggestion. At some point we'll upgrade to a faster wireless network, but as we only use it for internet access, the "b" speed is adequate.
Also, my DSL modem and router are in a closet in the basement. If I put my wireless router there it's unlikely the second floor would get good coverage. We could probably use something like the Buffalo router in wireless bridge mode on the main floor and get decent coverage.
