There is a known issue with the Linux running Linksys
WRT54G* routers when asked to do lots of P2P traffic.
Under very worst case situations it can cause the
router to crash as often as once per hour (only
solution being to turn off/on the router). There is I
gather no solution available at present from Linksys,
but SOME of the replacement router software created by
the Linux community does solve the issue.
