We would need more information to be able to help...

What do you consider going off/on ? Does the router reboot, does the internet connection stop, or everything, including your local network ?
Is the wired connection "going off" as well, or just wireless ?
What type/model of router ?
Is your modem separate, does the internet connection on that turn off, or just the router ?

Some of them have logs, once you've established that this is exactly the case, if it is an older router you can try to reconfigure or change it.
