Router time always resets to 2002.?

I've been having problems connecting to my wireless network, usually unplugging/replugging the power to the router fixes it. I notice that the time in my router configuration software returns to a date in 2002 everytime the router resets like this. Could this be causing the connection problems and if so how can I fix it?

Router is a D-Link WBR-1310
Firmware is 1.04, harware version A1

I am not resetting (pressing reset button), I am unplugging the power for 2-3 seconds.

it's most likely the router has a battery fitted much like a cmos battery to keep the time and date if unplugging it resets it then the battery may be flat check out your documentation

probably when it was first produced or used for the first time it was 2002. When you restart it, it probably just goes back to its Original factory settings.
