It does seem to be related to the WAP in my case. At work I can use it fine with a variety of access points, all 802.11b. At home it works fine with a Netgear MR814 but exhibits the disconnect bug with a Linksys WRT54GS using WPA or WEP. All the access points I use broadcast SSID.

I don't know if this can help but I do have exactly the same router here and works flawlessly with the 770. The only thing that might be different from your setup is that I'm not using the original Linksys firmware but the alternative ones OpenWtr and dd-wrt. I don't know if makes any difference but the change of firmware worth the change by itself.

The router in this case is Linksys GS model (not GL) Is the setup interface for OpenWrt (dd-wrt) similar to the original Linksys firmware ? I mean, is there a browser based setup interface ? In other words, is the setup interface OS independent ? Do you have handy instruction (or , perhaps a URL) for HOWTO reflash Linksys WRTG54GL and remain sane ( aka a working WiFi router ) Hi. Those firmwares are very handy and much more powerfull than the original ones and they do have a web interface, the dd-wrt specially. I have a G model, neither GS nor GL. I don't know if the alternative firmwares will work on those models, specially the GS. I suggest you consult the websites of those projects to know.

Did you set in Control Panel / Connectivity / Idle times (second tab) / Packet data and WLAN Idle time to Unlimited? I have an ASUS WL500GX (Linux inside too) and have no trouble maintaining browsing for tens of minutes. After a while (about one hour UI idle) it drops the connection though, even if I ssh to it every minute from a desktop machine, this is an issue but it looks different from yours.
