All my Linksys WRT54G's and the one WRT54GL I have always had that problem. I had to pull the power at least once a week, usually much more frequently, especially if I was producing a lot of traffic.
I can't recommend Tomato highly enough, the firmware is amazing! For what it's worth, I'd recommend resetting the router to defaults, flash Tomato (or DDWRT or OpenWRT, they're all pretty solid) and never worry about it again. Assuming, of course, that your router hardware is supported (check the version number). I find Tomato to be a lot more usable, but that's just me. The official firmware is pretty limited, and I suspect that even the most recent version won't fix your problems, so if you can go with one of the others, do it, you won't regret it. -Joe Mark Jarvis wrote: > > I have a laptop connected via wireless & two computers connected via > cable to a Linksys WRT54G router which is connected to a Linksys cable > modem.
