Wireless router problem

[Tim Writer]

I have WRT54GS running an up-to-date OpenWRT. Clients go off-line from time
to time, usually when you're in the middle of something really important. I
put it down to interference from microwave ovens and such and figure
there's little I can do about it.

I've come to the conclusion that wireless just sucks!
