Yes. It is definitely older than 5 years.

I am saving the log file but I can't seem to figure out why its
dropping. Sometimes it runs for hours and sometime it won't even last
for 15mins.

I think I would monitor the AC line voltage and put the unit on a
variac(variable ac transformer) and see if it drops out when the line
voltage gets low, since your answer seems to imply that you see nothing in
the log to indicate an attack causing it to die.

Those SOHO3 Sonicwalls had some issues with flakey power adaptors that
caused a lot of problems. It might not be a bad idea to try a replacement
power adaptor to see if that clears up the problem. If I remember right,
they used a 5VDC adaptor, but I don't remember what the current rating for
it was.

It bugs the heck out of me because my friend tested it in his office
and he had no issues so I am not sure if it is a power issue. Anyway,
It is a 5Volt, 2.4Amp/12W DC power adapter. I will see if I can place
it on a UPS or replace the adapter. I also played around with the
setting from auto to 100/full duplex to 100/half duplex but still same
problem while the router is in auto. One strange thing I notice is
that when ping from locally, once every five pings take twice as long
time as others. Any idea?
