Router Slow to wake up

I'm new to this forum so please be kind to me!

I have a USRobotics USR9107A router connected to a Dell 5150 desktop (running XP). Router is powered up all the time and connected to Broadband. When switching on PC at start of day (or any other switch on time), the router appears OK (all lights on) but if I click IE or Outlook express, either just freeze and need Alt-Con_Del to release. Alternatively, if after switching on PC I wait for 4-5mins, then click IE or OE either run OK. Any ideas on wnhy the router is slow to wake up?
