Ethernet & wi-fi drop dead simultaneously; reboot required

My Mac Mini has started dropping its wi-fi and Ethernet connections every 2-3 days for no apparent reason. Unplugging Ethernet and/or turning off the wi-fi hardware will not clear the problem. Nothing short of a reboot will clear the problem. Any insight? It began about the time I installed a new router; could this possibly be router-related?

If the new routers wifi channel is set to "auto" it isn't necessarily set to the best channel so you may well want to try changing it based on the results of using a channel scanning app.
Also, what's the Make and model of the router? You always connected via WiFi or Ethernet (your post didn't make that totally clear, hence my question)
Did you Daisy chained the new router with the existing one or you just replaced ir?
