This is a problem stemming from your router, not what browser you use. It's simply a coincidence that it happens when you've got the browser open.
Several issues may have a hand in this:
Check your router firmware - Could be time for an upgrade. Manufactures websites should have this in their download/drivers section.
Check your port forwards / open ports - Accessed from the main router configuration page, this can cause havok on routers as many people don't understand what they are doing here.
Check your router settings - Something may be amiss and causing an overload.
Reset your router - The router should have a manual reset switch that can be held for 30 seconds to reset everything to factory condition, keeping in mind that you will lose all passwords, settings, ports, etc. in the process.
If you've tried everything and this keeps up, you need to replace your router!
