I've unfortunately had the same experience, although I still consider it 
less of a hassle than setting up PPPoE. I think once I find the time to 
load an alternate ROM on it, it'll be more stable (or at least I'll get 
to find out what the problem is). Actually, you can get the full kernel 
logs from the router using the 'snmp' protocol and programs like 'snmpd' 
with 'snmptrapfmt'. That way you can find out what's wrong.

Maybe you could try updating your firmware, I think it helped me a little.
